Cocurricular Activities

Sporting Teams

From Pre-Primary to Year Six, students may join a variety of Winter or Summer team sports and take part in Sporting Schools programmes such as Aussie Hoops (Years One to Three), Net-Set-Go (Pre-Primary to Year Two) and Hook-in2-Hockey (Years One and Two).

Community Sport

GSG offers a wide range of sporting activities to cater for the varied interests of students. Opportunities also exist to join school teams and participate in local competitions. 

 

In general, all sporting teams have one training session per week (mid-week) and one game per week. Games can be played on various days depending on the particular association. When a student signs up for a sport they must commit to playing for the entire season.

 

Students must attend all practice sessions, punctually and properly dressed. A student may only be excused from training for good reason, with notification to the coach or manager prior to the session. If a student is to be absent from a scheduled game, the coach or manager must be given adequate notice and the opportunity to cover the team member’s absence. Players should consider the effect that their absence may have on teamwork and performance of their team.

 

All school teams require coaches and team managers. Willing and interested parents are asked to contact the relevant support group.

 

Sports offered to students may include:

 

Summer:

  • Basketball

Winter:

  • Netball
  • Soccer
  • Hockey
