Sport provides an important balance to the academic and cultural side of school life. It enriches the growth of the students, especially with regard to the acquisition of recreational skills, desirable social attitudes, fitness, emotional stability, teamwork, leadership and initiative.

The College has a strong record of sporting achievement which has produced distinguished sports people at a Sate and National level in just a short time, and a spirited sense of competition at all levels. The College provides high standards of equipment and coaching in Sport and Physical Education and guides the students in positive approaches to health, diet and fitness as well as fair play, commitment and teamwork.

The College is a respected member of the Sunshine Coast Independent Schools Sports Association. The fixtures contest athletics, swimming, cross country, volleyball, basketball, netball, tennis, touch football, soccer, softball, AFL, water polo, cricket, rugby and surfing. Within the School there is a popular Inter-House competition which centres on athletics, swimming and cross country carnivals.

These events encourage team spirit, friendly rivalry and broad participation.

All courses offered in Physical Education at St. Andrew's are developmental and progressive in nature, they are strongly supported by technology and have been carefully planned across the year levels from Prep to Year 12. This is to ensure that students have the necessary knowledge and skills to make informed and responsible choices regarding their health and well being in the area of physical education. Importantly it also enables students to successfully take on the course requirements in the Senior subject of Physical Education in Years 11 and 12.
