At Santa Sophia we offer a range of competitive and recreational sports and activities to cater for students' interests and abilities.
Our Sport and PDHPE programs focus on:
- individual agility development
- physical games in the early years leading to competitive sport opportunities as they develop
- learning opportunities to develop knowledge, processes, skills and attitudes to make informed decisions about their health and body
- encouraging students to act in appropriate ways to enhance health and wellbeing.
Students participate in Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics carnivals, in addition to gala days and weekly sport competitions.
