Our students have also competed successfully in the following SAPSASA sports in past years:

  • Equestrian*
  • Golf*
  • Diving*
  • Triathlon*
  • Lawn Bowls*


Being involved in a non-traditional sport does not mean that you cannot compete. Our Sports Coordinator can provide more information to students/parents and help enter an individual/team should a competition for your sport be available through SAPSASA. A list of all SAPSASA sports and the competition nomination deadlines can be found at https://www.decd.sa.gov.au/teaching/sport/sports-and-competitions.

Individual sports – athletics, cross country and swimming championships, the student must be turning 10 in the year of competition.

Team sports – Students must be in Year 6 or 7 turning 11 in the year of competition.

(Basketball Year 4/5 also have a competition).
 

District and State Representation

Tatachilla belongs to the Onkaparinga South District and many of our students have represented our College and the District in championships and carnivals ranging from AFL, athletics, soccer, netball, tennis, swimming, cricket, hockey and cross country to name a few. Our students have been able to further their sporting careers by being chosen to represent South Australia from these carnivals/championships. State selection is based on ability and attending formal trials and any selected students must have the Principal’s endorsement to compete.
