Foster and Support Sporting Excellence
At Georges River Grammar, we are committed to fostering and supporting sporting excellence. Our students participate in a wide range of weekly interschool and Gala Day competitions throughout the school year. GRG is an active member of key school sporting organisations including CASA (Combined Anglican Schools Association), MISA (Macarthur Independent Schools Association—Secondary), and IPSSO (Independent Primary School Sports Organisation – Primary).
Our students compete in a variety of sports, including:
- AFL
- Athletics
- Basketball
- Cross Country
- Netball
- Oztag
- Soccer
- Swimming
- Touch Football
- Volleyball
To enhance skill development, GRG also draws on the sporting knowledge and expertise of senior students and alumni. Throughout the year, they provide coaching and mentorship to students selected to represent the school in various sporting teams, ensuring our athletes are well-prepared and supported.
Participation in these competitions supports our commitment to holistic education, promoting teamwork, sportsmanship, and school spirit across all year levels.
The sporting calendar at GRG culminates in the Annual Sports Awards Evening, held in Term 4, where our exceptional sportswomen and sportsmen are acknowledged. This special event recognises the achievements of students and teams who have represented the school throughout the year, celebrating commitment, excellence, and school spirit in sport. Each year, GRG is fortunate to have an elite guest speaker not only address the students and families present, but present awards. Recent guest appearances have been made by Australian Olympians, Jessica Hull, Jana Pitman and James Magnussen.
Athletics, Cross Country and Swimming
Our annual school carnivals in Athletics, Cross Country and Swimming are always full of cheer and excitement. Our students always have a wonderful day, whether it be in the pool or on the track, as they compete and vie to have their School House crowned as champion for the year. Regardless of ability, students are encouraged to participate to not only push themselves, but to do the best they can.
Primary and Secondary students who qualify with their times for events across each of these three carnivals can continue onto the representative pathways at CASA, AICES, NSW CIS, NSW All Schools and Australian All Schools respectively.
