Secondary Sport

Healthy & active bodies for active minds

We believe sport is an integral part of creating a positive, well-rounded schooling experience for our students.

Sport and physical activity help to build social, emotional and physical skills. It teaches our students independence, resilience and teamwork, providing valuable opportunities to develop initiative, creativity, persistence, problem-solving, communication and collaboration.

Students in Years 7-10 have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of sports weekly. The variety of sports offered each term is determined by the season and availability of facilities.

NBCS Northern Beaches Christian School - Secondary Sport

NBCS is a member of the Christian Schools Sports Association (CSSA), a state-based association that encompasses over 80 schools. Students who are in the first few places at swimming, athletics and cross country events represent NBCS at the CSSA Zone and possibly State level.

NBCS also regularly enters teams in CSSA Zone and State Gala Days and competitions for other sports, including soccer, netball, oztag, futsal, basketball, touch football, softball, cricket and gymnastics.
