Woolooware High has been a very successful sporting school for many years. Our strength comes from the participation rates of our students across a wide variety of sporting endeavours.
There are many and varied opportunities for students to participate in sport at different levels.
Thursday Sport
Thursday weekly sport is mandatory at WHS for all students from Years 7–10.
We have a Graded Sport competition played between schools in the Port Hacking Sports Zone, as well as Recreation Sport activities held at venues across the Sutherland Shire. We have a summer sport and winter sport season during the school year. On average there are about 50 – 60 Grade sports teams from Woolooware each year competing in Beach Volleyball, Touch Football, Netball, Soccer, Oztag, Basketball, Cricket and Waterpolo amongst other sports. These teams are graded, so that students from our school can compete against students from other schools of a similar ability to increase enjoyment and participation.
Year 7 students participate in a school-based sports program at the start of Term 1 before selecting from the Grade or Recreation sport options with the rest of the school.
School Carnivals
Woolooware holds annual Swimming, Athletics and Cross Country carnivals. Attendance at these carnivals is mandatory. They are great whole school events that are not to be missed!
Woolooware teams are selected at these carnivals for further competitions at the Zone, Region and State Level.
