Matt Grice, Director of Sport K – 12

Dear Parents and Guardians

A big welcome to the 2024 sports year for all returning and new members of our community. The Cranbrook Sports programme is wide, varied and undertaken in a spirit of genuine education. The programme promotes inclusiveness, opportunity, and competition. We believe sport teaches valuable lessons about resilience, challenge, courage, failure, teamwork, and success. Students are driven to challenge themselves through the development of their skills, through training and conditioning, with a strong focus on balancing the comradery of team success with the satisfaction of individual achievement. I am looking forward to a fantastic year of sport!

A massive thank you to all who were involved in the numerous holiday activities. Camps, tours, and the weights centre were well attended, and our top squads were working hard in preparation for the remainder of the summer season. It was fantastic to see so many students so active in their holiday break. Well done to everyone who got involved.

A huge congratulations to Luca Alexander who won the National Sailing 420 Championships over the break.

We have 6 weeks until the CAS Swimming Championships. For those interested in the 2024 Cranbrook CAS Representative Swim Team selection or have any questions regarding selection or swimming at Cranbrook, please email:

Daniel Arnamnart – darnamnart@cranbrook.nsw.edu.au – Head of Aquatics 

We look forward to a big weekend of sport as we launch into the continuation of the summer season. The majority of sports have trial matches before the CAS season kicks off next week (see attached Fixtures for 3rd February)

Please find details of training sessions and activities in the T1 Week 1 CC Sport and Academy Timetable (attached).

Looking forward to seeing everyone around the grounds this weekend.

Kind regards

Matt Grice
Director of Sport
