We provide inclusive sports activities for students of all abilities. Students gain personal satisfaction and develop socially and emotionally through team participation.
St Andrew’s Cathedral School is committed to the ongoing development of all sports offered at the School. We want to see all participants, across all ability levels, developing and improving their sporting skills and sport-specific fitness.
St Andrew’s Cathedral School is a member of the Independent Sporting Association (ISA) which conducts competitions across a range of sports. In addition, the ISA also provides pathways to Combined Independent Schools (CIS), NSW All Schools and national levels in these and other more niche sports.
Seasonal sports
St Andrew’s Cathedral School provides a broad range of sports options for students to choose from. These can vary depending on demand.

Many of these options can be chosen by students to meet their compulsory sports commitment, which can be completed in either the winter, or summer programme. Only one sport is required to meet the compulsory commitment, but students are welcome to participate in both seasons of sport.
Most sports train on weekday afternoons, with competition or other activity on Saturdays. Middle School training is generally held on Tuesday afternoons and Senior College training on Thursday afternoons but this can vary.
The School also offers access to other sporting opportunities, such as involvement in the NSW All-School Triathlon and Aquathlon, Kanga Cup Football Tournament and Inter-Schools Snowsport Championship.
Fitness Centre, and Strength and Conditioning
The Fitness Centre is open Monday to Friday before and after school. It is available for all teams and students to use during the season to improve their strength and fitness.
We have a qualified team of Strength and Conditioning Coaches who instruct and supervise students.
Venues
Our city location allows students the opportunity to play and participate in high performance environments such as Centennial Park, Moore Park, the University of Sydney, Wentworth Park and The Domain.
St Andrew’s Cathedral School also has a multi-purpose basketball court on-site, as well as a modern well-equipped gym and spin room. Our priority is to see students playing and participating in safe, high-quality facilities and environments.
Buses are provided to and from offsite training, and some fixtures outside of the Sydney Metropolitan Region.
