The TAS Sport Program
The TAS Sport Program is built on a strong philosophy of participation, personal growth and enjoyment of sport. At its foundation, the program encourages students to explore their interests, develop correct technique and build confidence, with an emphasis on effort, teamwork and sportsmanship rather than a sole focus on winning. While competition and success are celebrated, students are guided to take pride in doing their best, playing fairly and developing a lifelong appreciation for fitness and wellbeing.
Students have access to outstanding sporting facilities, including an Olympic-standard Aquatic Centre, gymnasium, athletics tracks, sports ovals, courts, rock-climbing wall and orienteering course, supporting a wide range of activities and interests. TAS Sporting Clubs and partnerships provide further opportunities for students aged Prep to Year 12 to develop their skills under professional coaching across sports such as hockey, football, netball, swimming and triathlon.
For students seeking higher-level pathways, the TAS Sport Program also supports representative opportunities at interschool, regional, state, national and Olympic trial levels, reflecting a proud tradition of sporting excellence and holistic development.
In 2026, TAS will offer Netball, Hockey and Swimming as club sports. Other sport opportunities available to TAS students include Charlie Beverley Football Academy, TAS jogging and TAS gym.
