Eltham High School Sports Program

Eltham High School has a very successful Sports Program with plenty of opportunities for students to get involved throughout the year. 

House Cross Country

In Term 2 we will hold our school cross country (Date TBC). This will be compulsory for ALL Year 7 and 8 students and optional for Year 9 - 12 students. Generally, the Year 7s complete the run during their sport period and Year 8s are brought out of class to complete theirs. The course starts across from the school at Fabbro Fields and goes around the Wingrove Park loop.

Interschool Sport

Eltham High participates in the ‘School Sport Victoria’ sporting program. We enter teams into a Round Robin competition with local schools in the Nillumbik District. Each year level of the school can participate in one Round Robin each term. Different sports are offered in each term and successful teams advance to Region Finals and then State Finals. 

The cost for each event per student is $20 in 2025. There are various costs in running the sporting program throughout the school and these include district, regional and state level events. The $20 per event per student is to cover the cost of the program and events and is not limited to the bus/transportation cost alone. However, please note that bus costs are a fixed cost for the event and are not reduced for the school if a student chooses not to take the bus. Eltham High School has kept the cost for the sporting program and these events the same now for four years and is supporting the program as costs have increased. Please note that if a student is taking the bus to the event and is driven by a family member the event cost of $20 is still applicable.

Timetabled Sport – Year 7 & 8

Students in Year 7 and 8 participate in a Sport session once per week. Students participate in a range of sports throughout the term. We aim to provide students with a small taste of a variety of sports, many of which are offered in the Inter-School Sports Program. Participation is the main goal of these sessions and students are encouraged to experience a range of games. There is an expectation the students change into their PE uniforms for this session – we would greatly appreciate your assistance in ensuring PE uniforms are brought to school for both PE and Sport sessions.
