The vibrant sporting life of the School supports our students, from beginners to elite performers.
Sport
With an abundance of sporting opportunities, most of our students choose to play one or more sports at Pembroke.
Our focus is on nurturing an inclusive and supportive sporting culture that leads to personal best performances and important and lasting benefits to mental and physical health.
Our Sports Program allows individuals to experiment with new sports while encouraging seasoned competitors to improve skills and achieve at higher levels.
We are immensely proud of our students and old scholars who perform at elite levels, representing our state and country in a wide variety of sporting disciplines.
Fostering a Lifelong Love of Sport and Personal Achievement
Our Heads of Sport facilitate the overall management of our Sports Program and teaching staff are heavily involved as coaches or managers, supported by highly accredited head coaches. The School is committed to gender equity in the range of sporting activities available.
Alongside our formal Sports Program, Pembroke runs a vast array of colourful and competitive sporting activities through the School’s House system including swimming, athletics and cross country carnivals.
