Sport is an integral part of the school program and culture. Sport provides a great opportunity for your child to honour God, learn, grow and develop. It also facilitates the opportunity to build community and act with integrity.
Junior School Sport is delivered by the Stage teachers in accordance with the curriculum and is an important part of each week. Sports range from individual sports, such as, athletics and Cross Country; to team sports, such as, soccer, basketball, baseball and volleyball.
Senior School Sport is on offer through our Co-Curricula program. Students may be selected to represent the school in various sports and use the Co-Curricula time to train for their specific events. Students between Years 7-11 are given the opportunity to develop their skills under the professional coaching of staff during school hours. Both individual and team sports are offered throughout the year.
Representative team sporting activities occur throughout the year. Students may represent Heritage Christian School at CSSA Zone and State events and also local inter-school championships. We often compete against other schools in the Christian Schools Sports Association (CSSA) across a range of sports including touch football, soccer, basketball, and futsal.
Our annual Sporting carnivals are crucial in developing Heritage’s inclusive and supportive culture. Students are given the opportunity to participate in swimming, cross country and athletics through our school carnivals. They are then able to excel and represent our school in these individual sports at zone and state levels.
Sport at Heritage Christian School plays a pivotal role in the formation of the school’s culture. Students learn to work as a team and encourage each other; student/teacher relationships are strengthened: and, the respect and friendship created on the sporting field infiltrate the classroom and school culture in a positive manner.
