Sports & physical activity

Sport and physical activity is a valued and accepted part of our school's curriculum, contributing to the development of the whole child. It provides a vehicle for social, physical, emotional and moral learning and is an important expression of our culture.

The participation, enjoyment and skill development of our students is the corner-stone of the school sport/ physical activity program. All our students take part in this program.

There are also opportunities to represent our school at inter-school sports competitions. As a NSW public school we benefit from the opportunities for shared activities and competitions with other schools, coordinated by school sport associations. See the School Sport Unit website for details.

School Sport

Sport at Grafton High School (GHS) is mandatory! It is not assessed, however, active participation is required.  At GHS  each year group will attend sport at different times during the week. This organisation makes best use of the staff and facilities.

Each sport group will have a specific sport program.  It takes into account student interests, facilities and the staff. Separate notes will be issued for sport.
