Primary Years Sport
An active start to schooling
The St Peters Sport program is an important part of the College’s extended educational experience. Sport provides numerous social, emotional and physical benefits and that’s why it is one of the key cocurricular opportunities we offer to all students, from Prep – Year 12. The goal of the Primary Sport program is to equip young students with the skills and knowledge they need to play a wide range of sports. The program offers additional activities to our youngest students, encouraging them to have an active start to their schooling journey.
Associations & Competitions
The St Peters Primary Sport program is participation based and focuses on skill development in a nurturing environment. As the program is intended to prepare students for Sport in the higher Year Levels, the Boys and Girls programs operate independently. Our Years 5 and 6 boys participate in the Associated Independent Colleges (AIC) competition. Our girls are members of multiple associations, all of which are outlined below. There are also a number of additional options, coordinated by St Peters Sport, but provided by external organisations. These programs require a participation fee.
Paid Sports Programs (Boys & Girls)
The Paid Sports Programs on offer to St Peters Primary students take place on campus after school. They typically run for 5-7 weeks and are offered by external organisations. Because of this, they are subject to change. Please use the table below as a guide only. Detailed, up-to-date information is provided to current St Peters Primary Years families via the internal Firefly communication platform at the start of each Term.

Additional Representation
Throughout the year, Primary Sport hosts three Inter-House Carnivals—Swimming, Cross Country and Track & Field. These carnivals allow students to experience the College’s core sports before representation opportunities commence in Years 4 – 6. In these Year Levels, students are selected to represent St Peters in the Southern Lutheran Associated Primary Schools (SLAPS) competition and the Northern Eagles District competition.
