Sport

Sport is an important part of life at St Benedict’s Catholic School. Our sporting program encourages participation, teamwork, resilience, sportsmanship and personal achievement, with opportunities available for students of all abilities.

School Carnivals
Students participate in our annual Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics Carnivals. These events promote participation, House spirit and friendly competition, while also providing pathways for students wishing to progress to interschool and representative competition.

Interschool & Gala Day Sport
Throughout the year, students have opportunities to represent St Benedict’s across a range of sports, which may include Swimming, Cross Country, Athletics, AFL, Rugby League, Netball, Cricket, Futsal, Soccer or Touch Football

Training and trials are offered throughout the year, with teams representing St Benedict’s at interschool competitions and gala days across Townsville.

Community Sport
Where possible, St Benedict’s works alongside local sporting clubs, coaches and community organisations to provide students with specialist coaching and opportunities to experience different sports.

Our goal is for every student to have positive sporting experiences, build confidence and develop a lifelong enjoyment of being active.
