Our programs focus on teaching fundamental skills in a variety of sports, while instilling the values of discipline, teamwork, respect, integrity, fair play and fitness for life.

School Carnivals

An important part of the tradition and culture of ÌÇÐÄlogoÃ×·ÆÍà are our school carnivals. Students represent their House as they strive for Championship and representative honours in Athletics, Swimming, Cross Country, Indoor Rowing and Diving.

There are four Houses in the Junior School and 10 Houses in the Senior School. A large part of the fun of these sporting competitions is the costumed themes and House cheering led by the Captains of each House. House Spirit is equally as important as competitive points.

Saturday Sport 

Students from Year 3 to Year 6 participate in a variety of team sports in the Independent Primary School Heads of Australia (IPSHA) competition. IPSHA sports are played on Saturday mornings against other independent girls’ schools at venues all over Sydney. The emphasis of IPSHA sport is on participation and enjoyment whilst acquiring fundamental movement skills. In IPSHA sport, point scores are not kept, and finals are not played. Skill development, fair play and fun are central to IPSHA sports.

Students from Year 7 to Year 12 participate in the Independent Girls' Schools Association (IGSA) competition. IGSA sports are played on Saturday mornings against other independent girls’ schools at venues all over Sydney as well as Frensham in Mittagong.

These pathways ensure that students with talent are identified and offered the opportunity to enhance their ability through development camps, further training and competition.
