Sport at CLC

Sport is an important component of a students' overall development. At Catholic Ladies' College sport is divided into two main categories: Inter-school sport and Inter-house sport.

 

Interschool Competition

Catholic Ladies' College competes in the Secondary Catholic Sports Association competitions. As a result we participate in a wide range of sporting activities against 26 other Catholic schools throughout the year. These sporting pursuits are spread out evenly across the calendar. The competitions we enter include athletes, swimming, tennis, volleyball, softball, basketball, netball, soccer and cross-country running. Other sporting teams fielded have been skiing and equestrian.

National Basketball Champions

Catholic Ladies' College have been the Victorian Intermediate McDonalds Championship School for two years in a row. Under the management of Sports Coordinator MrsDebbie O'Neill and coached by ex-student Rachael Croall (Australian Young Business Woman on the Year 1999) the team won the National Basketball McDonalds Championships for the past few years.

 

Leadership

The Sports Captain is ably assisted by a Vice Captain. Twenty girls have taken on the student leadership roles of House Captains. House Sport Competitions are based on the College's four houses and involves every student. Marita - blue, Aikenhead - green, Loyola - gold, and Vincentia - Red. Major annual carnivals are held each year in athletics and swimming. Lunchtime borrowing and activities are organised by the house captains. Indoor soccer, volleyball, pataka and basketball are a few examples of such competitions.
