Saint Ignatius College Geelong
Students are supported in striving for their personal best - the Magis - in all their endeavours.
The school’s sports policy is intended to:
In this spirit the co-curriculum area of sport provides the school with opportunities to foster community involvement of students, parents and staff. Sport provides opportunities for students, parents and staff to experience a sense of belonging to a faith-filled Christian community.
The Houses are divided into four teams and are named after some of Australia’s finest pioneering athletes.
Named after Sir Donald Bradman. Acknowledged as the greatest batsman of all time.
Named after Herbert Elliot. One of the world's greatest middle distance runners.
Named after Dawn Fraser. A multi-Olympic and Commonwealth Games Gold Medal winner whose success stretched over fifteen magnificent years.
Named after Betty Cuthbert. The highest number of gold medals won by any Australian in track and field at an Olympics.
There are three (3) major House Sport carnivals held each year and all students are expected to attend these whole school events:
House Swimming Carnival
House Cross Country
House Athletics
There are also a number of minor carnivals held throughout the year, which still earn valuable points for the ‘overall house supremacy’ cup winner. The sought after trophy is awarded to the winning house captains at our end of year celebration. Other House competitions include:
Netball, Basketball, Chess, Soccer, Tug ‘o’ War, Table, Tennis, Hockey
All students in the Middle School have the opportunity to represent the school in interschool sport against other GISSA (Geelong Independent Secondary School Association) schools.
