  Sport is a compulsory part of the curriculum and is held on Wednesday afternoons. All students are given the opportunity to choose their sport and in some cases a fee must be paid. These fees cover the cost of venue, equipment and outside tutors.

  For safety and hygiene, all students must wear the sport uniform to sport.
  
  Arrangements are placed on notice boards around the school, in the Peninsula Press, and are announced on the Wednesday assembly. For some sport activities students have to travel by bus to grounds out of the area and regularly require money for their bus fare.
  
  PE/sport uniform must be worn at sport. The PE uniform is the same for girls and boys, a white or green polo shirt with the school logo and red shorts with Barrenjoey embroidered on the hem. The PE/sport uniform is available only at the uniform store. The same disciplinary consequences apply to students who are out of PE uniform as for regular school uniform.
  
  In the event of wet weather, all indoor sports continue and outside sport groups do alternate activities organised by their sport teachers.
  
  For regular PE/sport lessons, students must change into their sport uniform at the start of the lesson and back into their school uniform at the end. The sport uniform is not to be worn to school unless it is sport day (Wednesday).
  
  If a student is sick or injured and unable to take part in the PE or sport lesson a note must be brought from the parent explaining the reason. This note is given to the teacher at the start of the lesson when the roll is marked. If the illness/injury is permanent or likely to continue for a few weeks a doctor's certificate will be required.

Sport carnivals and gala days
The school holds three carnivals throughout the year:

• Swimming
• Cross-Country
• Athletics

Transport to and from the carnival venues is provided and a charge will apply. All students are encouraged to participate and success at these carnivals can lead to school representation at zone, regional and state events.

Years 7 and 8 can also participate in annual gala days where they play a variety of sports in an interschool competition.

Sport awards

Sporting achievements are recognised weekly in the Peninsula Press. Sport awards are presented weekly assemblies and major awards are presented at the annual Achievement Night ceremony.
