Playing sport is more than physical fitness. It also teaches children discipline and how to work as part of a team; and for many children, it is where friendships are forged. Sport is an important part of school life at Pinelands High, and each Grade 8 and 9 is expected to take part in at least one summer and one winter sport (unless there is a medical reason precluding this).
Sports offered at the school include:
Summer (Terms 1 and 4) - Athletics, Basketball, Chess, Cricket, Indoor Hockey, Swimming, Tennis, Touch Rugby and Waterpolo
Winter (Terms 2 and 3) - Chess, Cross-Country, Golf, Hockey, Netball, Squash and Soccer
We have the following sports facilities:
- An indoor sports facility for basketball, cricket, netball, soccer and indoor hockey
- A mini-astroturf for hockey practice, netball and tennis
- Four hockey fields
- Two soccer fields
- Three cricket fields (two with turf pitches and one with an artificial surface) and cricket nets
- Five tennis courts (two also used for netball)
- An outdoor basketball court
- A 25m swimming pool used for swimming and waterpolo
