Sports Program

Be Active

At Glennie we promote fitness and health as a way of life. Participation in team and individual sports comprises part of a balanced education.

Glennie’s Sports Program is developed to cater for all levels of competition. Your daughter can play for fun and fitness, or she can pursue personal goals to compete at a representative level. It’s up to her, and we do all we can to support her on her way.

BoardersBoarders have exactly the same opportunities as day girls to compete at the highest level they can. Transport to and from venues is arranged and boarders can train at Glennie with specialist coaches. Sport in the CurriculumGirls participate in sport as part of the curriculum. Having progressed from the Motor Skills Program in Years K to 3, Junior Years girls begin interschool competition in Year 4 and continue until Year 6. In the Middle and Senior Years, the curriculum focus is on health, fitness and sports science. Girls in Years 7 to 12 who wish to play competitive sport can join the extra-curricular Club G program.

Inter-house sports carnivals allow all girls to demonstrate their House spirit, test their skills, and do their best with a view to selection into representative teams.

Club G Team SportsExtra-curricular sports are played after school and on weekends. Our girls compete against both regional club teams and other schools, giving them the opportunity to engage in a high standard of competition. Junior Years girls can play netball and touch football in the Club G program. A broader range of sports is available from Year 7.

Club G Specialist Coach SportsGlennie offers coaching to all girls who wish to impove their skills in athletics, cross country, swimming, gymnastics, tennis, netball, water polo, touch, rugby 7s, futsal, football, basketball, AFL and fitness. No previous experience is required. Our coaches are experienced and qualified professionals.

Darling Downs Representative TeamsGirls can trial for selection into a range of Darling Downs Sports Association representative teams. Selection into one of these teams can lead to regional, state and national competitions. This is an opportunity for girls to try sports at a representative level.

Glennie Representative Teams Girls who demonstrate skill and dedication in the Club G competition may be selected to represent Glennie in high-level sporting tournaments and one-day carnivals. Using the results at Glennie’s Inter-house Swimming, Athletics and Cross Country carnivals, girls are selected to represent Glennie in school and regional carnivals.
