All students in Years 7-10 participate in a fortnightly Physical Education program. In addition, the College offers students the opportunity to participate in sport as a co-curricular activity as well as at a representative level.

Full school Swimming and Athletics Carnivals are held at Sydney Olympic Park, Homebush each year. The Cross Country Carnival is open to any student who would like to compete.

Famous Australian sporting representatives who are ex-students include:
