The Sport Program at St Aloysius College has been designed to create opportunities for students of all ages and abilities to participate and compete in an environment that inspires excellence. St Aloysius College is a member school of both the SCSA and the ACS, giving students the opportunity to compete at an elite level against their peers from other Melbourne schools in a wide range of sports.
Within the co-curricular sporting program, students have access to high-level coaching, providing further opportunity for extended skills development and networking within their fields of interest.
In addition to the core Physical Education Curriculum and the College's membership of both the ACS and SCSA as part of our Sport Program, St Aloysius College offers Rowing to all students from Years 7-12. The aim of the program is to provide an enjoyable, quality and team oriented program that builds self-esteem as well as bonds between crew members. The experienced coaching staff facilitating the rowing program provide a myriad of opportunities for the students to develop and refine their movement skills specific to rowing, in an environment that fosters both commitment and teamwork. Situated on the Maribyrong River, the students at St Aloysius are fortunate to row out of Essendon Rowing Club, who provide high quality facilities and support to the program.
