A recent report by the Australian Sports Commission highlighted a picture of how Australians get active and engage in sport and physical activity. In some interesting findings, half of Australians aged 15+ (50%) participate in sport-related activity, most often mixing it with activities that are non-sport related e.g. going for a run, cycle or swim. I am pleased to say that most students that attend Carey would be in that 50% that participate in organised sport related activity, combined with activities that are not sport related.
