Sport
Personal development, a balanced life, self-confidence and healthy choices are the goals for Court Grammar School's extensive and ever growing sporting program. House competition is fierce all year round between 'Whitby' and 'Yarrabah' at CGS as they fight it out to win the "Challenge Cup".
House sports include swimming, athletics and cross country.
Cross Country
The CGS Cross Country carnival is held in early term 2, with an Inter-house competition between the two factions, Whitby and Yarrabah. The school grounds are set out across approximately 15 acres, giving us the opportunity to set out two comprehensive courses, one 3km course designed for Years 9-12 and the other 2.4km course designed for Years 7-8 students.
Swimming
Competitive swimming at CGS is continuing to grow in popularity amongst the student population with CGS entering teams into two major interschool carnivals during the year. All students have the opportunity to train on Tuesday mornings and Thursday afternoons all the way throughout term 1 and term 4. In Term 4 CGS swimmers also have the chance to compete in the inter-house swimming carnival for students in years 5-10.
Athletics
CGS has been involved in athletics for the entirety of the schools existence. Term 3's Physical Education lessons and after school sporting co-curricular sessions are dedicated to teaching the students to finer details to the varying techniques of all athletic disciplines. Students prepare for the school athletics carnival, where the two houses, Whitby and Yarrabah, compete to win the annual house athletics challenge. From this carnival, students are selected to compete for CGS at the ACC athletics carnival, which is held at the State Athletics Centre each year. CGS usually sends approximately 80 students to this event, allowing a broad range of students to fill all events on the card. Students from Year 3-12 are encouraged to participate in the afterschool co-curricular training for athletics throughout term 3.
