All students are encouraged and have the opportunity to trial/register for any sport/s at AGGS.
There are many one day tournaments as well as weekly competitions throughout the year allowing every student the chance to take part in sport - regardless of experience or available time.
Some Sports are classed as 'seasonal' requiring students to commit to attending 2 training sessions a week and one game a week. Others require only a practice session and a one day event.
Students are given ample information regarding the need to pay fees however actual costs are set annually and may change from year to year. These fees are based on various entry and transport costs. If financial implications are an issue for participation we would like to encourage students and parents to speak to the Sports Department as soon as possible. Options for payment include part payments over time but must be discussed and agreed with the Sports Department and Administrator.
Participation 'v' Severe Financial Constraints
For High Performance/Premier sportswomen, sponsorship may be sought to assist with tournament costs as per the Sponsorship policy. This is a case by case assessment.
Each year the Sports Department send 10 teams to National Competitions around
Teams attending Nation and Regional events require $200 payment from each student. The rest of the fee is subsidised by the school/funding. A decision on which teams will be subsidised to attend nationals in a given year is made in Term 3 of the previous year. These trips have to be approved by the Finance Committee of the Board of Trustees.
