Sport

From the earliest days, competition in sport has been woven into the historical fabric of Brisbane Girls Grammar School. With such a solid foundation, it is no surprise that physical activity and sport are so integral to the lives of Girls Grammar students.

All girls are encouraged to participate in physical activity and competitive sport to support their physical, mental and social wellbeing. The School aims to:

provide a wide range of opportunities for students of varying interests and ability
connect girls to advanced training and development, based on current research in exercise science, health and nutrition
continue its legacy of empowering girls to become fine sportswomen.

Facilities

The School maintains a 13-hectare sports campus at its Rangakarra Recreational and Environmental Education Centre at Fig Tree Pocket.
