St Thomas the Apostle Primary offers many opportunities for children to be involved in a variety of sports.

All children participate in class sports which focus on non-competitive activities building fitness and skills in an inclusive environment.

School Team Sports

Students in Years 3-6 have the opportunity to participate in a range of team sports organised by local sporting bodies in both competitive and non-competive formats. Events we regularly attend are soccer, league, AFL and union competitions; girls and boys touch gala days.

Children elect to join these teams. News of these events are distributed at school and noted in the newsletter. We ask parents to assist at these days.

We notify families through the newsletter of the dates for PSSA team sports trials.
