School Sport | Gunnedah

Only your best is good enough

But your best is always good enough.

Carinya students have many sporting opportunities throughout the school year. Students are encouraged to develop and use their talents to honour Christ, the giver of all gifts, in the way they interact with and compete against others. Throughout the school year, students can participate in a range of local and representative sports. All sporting teams are staffed or coached by qualified teachers, and the standard of sportsmanship that we expect is very high. Students are taught that only their best is good enough - but their best is always good enough.

SPORTING FACILITIES

Carinya Gunnedah offers a range of spaces to deliver its extensive Physical Education and Sport Program, including a large grassed area, a multi-purpose auditorium, and two covered sporting areas. In addition, Carinya makes extensive use of its own bus to transport students to and from Gunnedah’s many sporting facilities, including the swimming pool, gymnastics centre, golf course, basketball stadium, tennis courts, PCYC, bowling greens and council ovals.

REPRESENTATIVE SPORT

Carinya’s affiliation with the Christian Schools Sports Association (CSSA) and the NSW Combined Independent Schools (NSW CIS) Sports Association allows students to compete at Zone and State levels in individual and team sports. Students who are highly successful in their chosen sport can pursue representation via NSW CIS at the National level competitions.

Representative sport involves school-operated overnight trips beyond the Tamworth and Gunnedah regions, which is a highlight for many Carinya students.
