The Association of Coeducational Schools (ACS) was formed in 1997 and commenced midweek sporting competitions for Years 7 – 12 in 1998 with five founding member schools that are coeducational and shared similar philosophies and a commitment to sport. These shared beliefs, commitment to sport and co-curricular events continue to drive the ACS today as demonstrated in our values. Weekly Sport Sport for all year levels is played during the week which enables a balanced lifestyle for students, allowing for family time and participation in community sport on weekends. ACS caters to diverse student interests and strengths by offering 13 weekly sports, played midweek, across summer and winter seasons, including mixed sports to foster strong interpersonal skills between genders. Sports offered include: mixed badminton, basketball, cricket, Australian Rules football, football (soccer), futsal, hockey, netball, softball, table tennis, tennis, mixed touch football and volleyball. Championship Carnivals The ACS offers three major championships; athletics, swimming and cross country. Each carnival has its own unique quality which evokes a strong sense of community and camaraderie amongst students from different schools. These events are highly anticipated by our students who undertake dedicated training and skill development programs to achieve their best results and represent their schools with pride. The annual chess tournament and public speaking events are also part of the ACS calendar.
