Sport has become a most important aspect of the College’s life. The sporting program at Aitken College offers all students the chance to participate in a wide variety of sports. The program not only caters for the elite but leads all students forward in developing their skills.

Our students are trained and well prepared for any competition that they enter. Students in Year 6 participate in Sport once a week. Years 7-10 participate in Galway Sports which are also held once a week. Senior students in Years 11 and 12 participate in a Twilight Round Robin which is held twice a year.

Galway Sports are divided into two seasons – Winter Galway which includes sports such as football, netball, hockey and soccer. The Summer Galway sports include tennis, cricket, basketball softball and volleyball. Students are also involved in interschool swimming, athletics, orienteering and cross country. Specialised teams also have the opportunity to play in State competitions such as state netball, basketball, table tennis, volleyball championships, aerobics and a vast array of individual sporting events.

Internally the College sporting program is based around a strong House competition. This includes the College’s major carnivals of athletics, swimming, cross-country and orienteering. There is a lunch time sport competition which changes each term, allowing students the opportunity for a structured sports program during their lunch break.

In addition, a new program of sports afternoons has been introduced at Years 7-9. Sport within the College is in a very strong position, but the vision is there to see it improve. New facilities include a new and improved gymnasium, soccer pitch and new multi-sports fields. With this type of backing the College sporting program can only move forward. We welcome your children into our sporting program.
