We strive for excellence in providing and supporting the best sporting opportunities and environments in which our students can participate, learn and grow. Positive sporting experiences and opportunities inspire on-going participation and an enjoyment of physical activity and sport for life.
​
The sporting opportunities at Campbells Bay School provide all students with a variety of sports to participate in, develop skills and achieve personal success. We are constantly working to do this in an environment that has a healthy balance between participation and competition. With all our sporting opportunities, winning is not our intended outcome. Participation for all, healthy habits for life and extending students with talents is our focus.
