Sport at Mt Maria

Sport at Mt Maria College is designed to provide our students with positive experiences in physical activity and competitive sport.

No matter what sport a student is involved with, emphasis is always placed on;

Commitment
Strong Work Ethic
Teamwork
Enjoyment
Good Sportsmanship

Mt Maria College is a member of the South - Eastern Colleges Association (SECA) in which it competes against several other Catholic Co-educational Secondary Schools (Inter-school Sport).

Most sports are played in school time to allow students to fulfil any club commitments they may have on weekends. Training commitments are before and after school. It is an expectation that all students involved in a team attend training sessions.
