extracurricular activities The school was formally a member of the now defunct Metropolitan Catholic Schools Sports Association (MCS) competition, where they play against schools in Sydney's metropolitan region. MCS sports include association football, rugby sevens, cricket, swimming, Australian rules football, tennis, basketball, athletics, triathlon, golf, volleyball, and rugby league. In 2021, the school joined the Sydney Catholic Schools Sports Association (SCS), an expanded continuation of the MCS competition where a greater variety of sports were offered for the first time, including Diving, Baseball and Mountain Biking. Additionally, the college offers the opportunity for students to compete in chess, public speaking, debating, musical bands, and the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Furthermore, the Maths Challenge for Young Australians is held annually, measuring student scores in abstract mathematical problems and logistical reasoning.
