"Jogging is very beneficial for the legs and feet. It's also very good for the ground. It makes it feel needed."
Sport is an important part of a well-balanced lifestyle. It teaches organisation, commitment and team spirit while helping to promote fitness and health. The sports program at TAS is comprehensive and well organised. We provide an extensive range of both summer and winter sports at all levels. Students can take part in cricket, tennis, basketball, swimming, whitewater canoeing, athletics, squash, touch football, shooting, rugby, soccer, hockey and golf.
All students from Year 3 to Year 12 participate in sport. They take part in a full sport in both summer and winter which involves two training sessions per week plus a match.
TAS has excellent sporting facilities including a Sportscentre with a 25 metre heated indoor swimming pool, a weights room, an indoor cricket centre and indoor basketball court. We have 5 tennis courts (hardcourt), rugby and soccer fields, 1 turf and 4 synthetic cricket wickets (plus 6 turf practice nets) and access to the town’s first-rate facilities.
As a member of the NSW GPS Association TAS is part of one of the strongest, inter-school competitions in the state. We also enjoy a well-established and diverse inter-House sports program. TAS offers students the chance to experience and enjoy sport and then progress along a pathway of sporting opportunities.
