Sport and physical activity

Sport and physical activity are a mandatory part of the school week for students in Years 7–10 and are encouraged for students in Years 11 and 12. Our school values sport and physical activity and the essential role they play in contributing to the overall wellbeing of all students.

At our school, students continue to excel across a wide range of sports, proudly representing our community with skill, determination and teamwork. From the fast-paced intensity of volleyball to the strength and strategy of AFL and rugby league, our teams consistently demonstrate commitment, resilience, sportsmanship and school pride. Their ongoing success reflects the dedication of our students, staff and wider community in fostering a strong and supportive sporting culture.

Throughout 2026, students at Cabramatta High School may participate in Sport, PDHPE, PASS, SLR, HMS, Fitness and Sport Coaching lessons. These lessons take place at school and are supervised by teachers. In accordance with Department of Education requirements, we provide parents and carers with the following information regarding in-school sport delivered throughout the year.

NSW Department of Education Mandatory Statements

Accident insurance information:

 In the event of injury, no accident or medical insurance cover is provided by the NSW Government Treasury Managed Fund for students participating in school sporting activities, physical education lessons or any other school endorsed activity, unless there is a breach of duty of care by department or school staff. The NSW Department of Education is insured to meet the financial impact of any legal liabilities arising from its activities. It does not provide, nor has it ever provided, accident or medical insurance for students enrolled in government schools.

Concussion Management:

When a student enrolled in a government school is diagnosed with concussion, the principal must be advised in writing as soon as the diagnosis is confirmed. Students may only return to sport and physical activity once a medical clearance has been provided to the school and, if at a school sport event, to the supervising teacher.

Any student that experiences a suspected concussion during a school endorsed activity, will be removed from the activity and parents/carers will be advised that a medical follow-up is required.

If medical clearance is not provided, the student cannot participate in vigorous or competitive school sport or physical activities for 21 days from the concussion date.

If you have any questions, please contact the school.
