Sport Choices

The sporting program at Ivanhoe Grammar School encourages active participation, fitness and fun.

Being part of a team and having a common goal is a rich and rewarding experience. The School plays a majority of its sport in the AGSV competition and we share common fixtures with the APS for girls/boys fixtures. Both are long established school sporting associations that place emphasis on athletic achievement and friendly rivalry.

A high standard of sportsmanship and excellent spirit is actively fostered between teams and schools during interschool sporting fixtures.

Ivanhoe Grammar School has a very diverse sporting program that caters for individual differences. There is a wide range of sports that are played at differing levels to cater for a broad range of abilities. The School expects all students to participate in at least two seasons of interschool sport (Summer Season – November to March; Winter Season – May to August). As an enrolled student at Ivanhoe Grammar School, participation in these two seasons of school sport is considered compulsory.

Exemptions are only considered for students who play at an elite level in a sport that is not offered by the school (State or above) or have medical/wellbeing reasons.

Outside the two major seasons of sport, the School also participates in Athletics and Swimming. Students who are interested are encouraged to make themselves available for these sports. Students are able to train with the squad and participate in all lead-up meetings. The Athletics season does not coincide with the Summer and Winter seasons.

Additional sporting opportunities include Snowsports, Kayaking, Water Polo and Aerobics (girls only). Training (and competition) for these sports are often before or after school.

University Campus students will participate in sports training each Tuesday, on campus.

Further information about team fixtures, training times and venues, uniform requirements and the expectation of students during the sporting season is on our parent and student portal: Ivanhoe Connect, which is made available to families on enrolment.

Students are asked to select a sport preference for both the Summer and Winter Seasons.
