As we reach the halfway point of the Term 1 Summer Sport season, it has been fantastic to see our students thriving across such a wide range of programs. From early‑morning trainings to weekend fixtures, there have already been countless individual and team highlights that reflect the dedication, growth and spirit of our Carey athletes.
This term, students have access to up to 19 different Sport and Activity offerings, ensuring that every young person has the opportunity to explore their passion, challenge themselves and find their place within our diverse sporting community. Whether on the water, the court, the pitch or the field, it has been wonderful to watch students embracing these opportunities with enthusiasm.
