K-2
Children at CCGS participate in sporting activities from the very early years. In the Infants School (K-2) the emphasis is on participation and doing your best rather than on serious competition. Children get their first taste of competition during the Infant’s Athletics and Swimming Carnivals, which mirror those in Years 3-6. While a competitive spirit is evident, the emphasis at these carnivals is still on participation and putting in an effort, with many hands on board to help young children across the line.
3-6
More serious sporting competition starts in Year 3. Years 3-6 children compete in the House Athletics, Cross Country and Swimming Carnivals. Selected children then go on to represent CCGS at the HICES carnivals with successful athletes from these carnivals entering the Combined Independent Schools (CIS) carnivals. Successful CIS athletes then progress to state representation.
The Junior School offers a range of cocurricular teams for Years 3-6 children in a variety of sporting codes:
- Basketball
- Cricket
- Equestrian
- Hockey
- Netball
- Rugby
- Tennis
Sports training occurs before or after school and matches are played on Saturday or mid-week after school. Teams are entered in local competitions and through our ISA member schools.
Sporting links with other schools
CCGS has sporting and cultural links with a range of independent schools across NSW providing our students with the opportunity to develop a wide network of friends through their schooling years.
