Sport
Sport is a vital part of College life at Collingwood, offering students the chance to stay active, build confidence and develop teamwork and leadership skills. Our extra-curricular sports programme is inclusive, diverse and designed to support both participation and excellence.
Opportunities for all
We offer a wide range of sporting activities throughout the year, ensuring that every student can find something they enjoy. Whether joining a team, attending a club or trying a new sport for the first time, students are encouraged to take part, stay active and have fun. Our programme includes football, netball, rugby, basketball, athletics and many other sports, all delivered in a supportive and engaging environment.
A culture of excellence
While participation is at the heart of our approach, we are also proud of the outstanding achievements of our students in competitive sport. Collingwood teams and individuals regularly excel in regional, national and international competitions, reflecting the talent, dedication and high standards nurtured by our PE Department. These successes are a source of pride for the College and inspire younger students to aim high and pursue their sporting ambitions.
Championing girls’ sport
We are especially proud of our strong and well-established programme of girls’ sport, which continues to thrive and achieve success across a wide range of disciplines. Girls at Collingwood have access to high-quality coaching and competitive opportunities in a wide range of sports, including football, rugby and cricket. Our girls’ teams consistently perform at a high level, with many students achieving recognition for their skill, teamwork and leadership both within and beyond the school.
