At Bede Polding College we offer a range of competitive and recreational sports and activities to cater for students' interests and abilities.

Sport, as an aspect of the school curriculum, is an integral part of an individual’s development, requiring physical involvement in organised games or activities within an accepted set of rules. Sport is a valued and accepted part of a school’s curriculum because it contributes to the development of the whole child. It provides a vehicle for a number of social, physical, emotional and moral learning, and is an important expression of our culture. Participation, enjoyment and skill development of all students are the cornerstones of school sport.

School Sport:

  • is a learning process and adds diversity to the school curriculum
  • provides opportunities for active involvement of parents and community members
  • strengthens links with the community through sharing of facilities and expertise
  • encourages healthy competition and responsible behaviours
  • increases student options for an active lifestyle.

Through school sport students can:

  • make new friends
  • discover new abilities

  • develop an appreciation of fair play in sport
