For team sports, opportunities for student participation are available via Prep to Year 2 development programs, Years 3 to 12 Saturday morning interschool sport and our Basketball and Touch Football clubs. For our stronger athletes, additional opportunities exist to represent the College at tournaments run by the governing bodies of sports such as Basketball, Netball, Tennis, Touch Football and Volleyball, in which Sheldon College teams often produce remarkable results against far bigger schools.
World-class sporting facilities
The world-class sporting facilities at Sheldon College must be seen to be believed. They include a 400m synthetic athletics track; six top quality, LED floodlit hard tennis courts; an indoor stadium featuring multiple courts and an extensive fitness centre (gym); an 8-lane heated swimming pool with grandstand; a modern, enclosed, learn to swim pool; as well as immaculately maintained playing fields and additional outdoor and undercover courts.
Specialist Coaching through the Sheldon Academy of Sport
At Sheldon College, students benefit from year-round access to elite coaching through the Sheldon Academy of Sport (SAS), which supports the development of individual performance sports including Swimming, Tennis, and Athletics (Cross Country and Track & Field).
Our SAS programs are aligned with nationally recognised bodies - Queensland Athletics, Swimming Queensland, and Tennis Queensland - ensuring students receive expert guidance and competition pathways from grassroots to international levels. This integrated approach allows students to pursue sporting excellence while continuing their academic journey on campus.
Sheldon College is also proud to be one of only three school-based National Talent Hubs in Australia to receive funding from Tennis Australia - an outstanding endorsement of our commitment to nurturing high-performance athletes.
