Beyond the classroom

Students are encouraged to participate in school sport, carnivals, house competitions and representative pathways that foster school spirit, personal growth and lifelong participation in physical activity.

House Teams

Every student at Atherton State High School belongs to one of our four house teams. Throughout the year, students have opportunities to earn points for their house through participation, achievement and involvement in a range of sporting and school activities. At the end of the year, the coveted House Cup is awarded to the house that has demonstrated outstanding commitment, participation and success across the school community.

If your family has a strong connection to a particular house and you would like your child to be placed in that house, please contact our Sports Coordinator to discuss your request.

Our Major Carnivals

Throughout the year, students come together to compete in our three major house sporting carnivals - Cross Country, Swimming and Athletics. These events are a highlight of the school calendar, providing opportunities for students of all abilities to participate, challenge themselves, demonstrate house spirit and earn valuable points towards the House Cup.

Whether competing for personal bests, representing their house or simply getting involved, every student plays an important role in the success and excitement of these school-wide events. Click the buttons below for further information about our sporting carnivals.
