Sport and Co-curricular
A very promising 2024 ahead of us in Sport
On Saturday 10 February we started our Saturday Sport here at Santa and across different venues in Sydney.
The College has been well represented with 51 teams and approximately 390 students in Years 3-12 playing sport across the IGSA and IPSHA Competition as well as our well-known Invitational Volleyball.
We have also witnessed more than 200 students taking part in the Representative Dance Auditions and 80 students registered to try out to be part of the SSC Representative Volleyball program.
This week, we have also started to offer on the Senior Campus our Sport and Fitness Co-curricular Clubs: Athletics, Swimming, FitClub and Boxing have always been a very popular choice for our students who want to keep active and improve their fitness levels.
It makes me feel extremely proud to be part of a community that values sport and physical activity when I see the large number of students involved. I am sure that they will keep active for their whole lives and lifelong memories will be created during these activities. They create a perfect environment for our students to excel and develop in an area of interest while interacting with other members of the community leading to friendships which will last for a long time.

Using the College App for Communication – Sport and Co-curricular Activities
As we have started one more term of Sport and Co-curricular Sport please note that we are working really hard to have the College App as a central spot where information, registration and the students’ schedule will be placed to ensure our students don’t miss an event and that there is one main channel where all information is.
To be able to see your child’s schedule, please Open the App, click on Sports, and then Schedule to check the coming training and matches:
You can also use the College App and click on the Registration button (below Schedule) when registrations are out for Sport and Co-Curricular Activities.
