Providing a range of co-curricular opportunities is important to us because we value each child’s individual skills and interests, and we want to give every opportunity for students to grow and further their potential.

Sport

A main point of difference at St Margaret Mary’s is our specialist sports teacher. Mr Simpson is formally trained as a Physical Education teacher making him a welcome addition to our teaching staff. Students participate in well structured lessons in the areas of athletics, gymnastics, swimming, fundamental movement skills, group and team physical activities. Annual school athletics and swimming carnivals are held each year

Students in years 3-6 are encouraged to participate in various inter-school sporting competitions such as touch football, netball, soccer and OZ Tag. Competitive pathways also exist for all sports included in the Sydney Catholic Schools system.
