Our Sport Program
Participation in sport teaches invaluable lessons that complement those learnt in the classroom. Our sport program supports students to build personal capacity through teamwork, commitment, respect, leadership, and discipline.
The philosophy of the St Andrew's sport program gives all students the chance to enjoy a wide range of sports, with a high standard of specialist coaching. Through the power of an inclusive, vibrant, and welcoming sporting program and St Andrew’s community, students can develop their confidence, friendships, passions and potential, no matter their skill level.
Pathways are also available for students to represent the College, as well as at higher levels. St Andrew's is proud to have produced athletes at the elite level, including Commonwealth Games and Olympic medallists.
For most sports, St Andrew’s students compete as part of the Independent District within the Sunshine Coast Schools Sport Region, in one of two age groups, which are 10-12 years and 13-19 years.
Representative Sport
Independent District Representation
This is the representative level higher than representing the College. Selected students compete at the Sunshine Coast Regional Carnival against six other districts, students are then eligible for selection to attend the State Championships, representing the Sunshine Coast region. Students attending these trials would typically be experienced players who have excelled at school and/or club level sport.
Independent District Representation Eligibility
Selection is available to all 10 to 19 year olds in a wide variety of sports in the primary and secondary. Each sport has its own age groupings for representative levels.
In order to represent the district or region, students are required to attend trials. The College endeavours to get as many students as possible to the selection trials. However, numbers are restricted at trials, in which case, a decision will be made by the Sport Department as to who will attend.
Students wishing to trial are required to:
- Go to https://scissa.asn.au/trial-information/
Please note: numbers are restricted at trials, in which case, a decision will be made by the Sport Department as to who will attend.
Only students who are perceived to be at Representative level standard will be permitted to attend.

A Mouthguard Consent Form is required to be completed and taken to the District and/or Regional trial in AFL, Hockey, Rugby League, Water Polo and Rugby Union. This form will be contained in the paperwork for these sports.
