in the lives of individuals and groups in our society.
It promotes an understanding of the importance of personal

SPORT
Sport plays a very important role in the college curriculum
and many students gain significant satisfaction and success
in this area. The sport curriculum covers a broad area ranging
from the traditional House sports of swimming, athletics
and cross country through to sports such as football, netball,
table tennis, tennis, triathlons, claybird, cricket, golf
and many others. All students have the opportunity to pursue
their sporting abilities to the highest level. Students
commence at school level with House Sports and lunchtime
activities. Students who are success at school level progress
on to Wimmera level and in turn Western Zone level followed
by State level. All school sports are conducted under the
guidance of the Victorian Secondary School Sports Association.
Mr. Hart is the Sports Coordinator and the House Managers
and many other staff who volunteer their time to coach and
organize teams ably support him.
The House Sports program consists of three Houses named
Mitchell (Yellow), Griffiths (Red) and McLachlan (Blue).
All students have been placed in a house to participate
in the Swimming, Athletic and Cross Country Carnivals. Each
House, under the guidance of their House Manager elects
age group captains.
