Sport and physical activity is a valued and accepted part of our school's curriculum, contributing to the development of the whole child. It provides a vehicle for social, physical, emotional and moral learning and is an important expression of our culture.
The participation, enjoyment and skill development of our students is the corner-stone of the school sport/ physical activity program. All our students take part in this program.
There are also opportunities to represent our school at inter-school sports competitions. As a NSW public school we benefit from the opportunities for shared activities and competitions with other schools, coordinated by school sport associations. See the School Sport Unit website for details.
At Macarthur Girls a range of sporting activities are offered. All students from Years 7-10 are offered PE and sports lessons each week with a focus on skill development and game play.
During Terms 2 and 3, students are selected to represent the school in the grade sport competition held in our Zone. Sports played include netball, softball, oztag and soccer.
Students are also encouraged to take part in NSW CHS Knockout competitions each year such as soccer, basketball, touch football and tennis.
