One of the highlights of the College’s Sporting Calendar has
been the tradition of entering teams in the QLD Independent Netball & Rugby
League Competitions. The annual carnivals are held each year, attracting the
finest Independent Secondary School Netball & Rugby League teams in
Queensland. Each year the carnival is hosted by a different school and in 2017
the competition moves to Brisbane. Regular member schools cite the atmosphere
of the carnival and the spirit in which games are contested as characteristics
that excite schools about participating in this annual competition.
