Sports
At ACG Parnell College we believe that physical exercise is an essential part of mental and psychological wellbeing.
We offer our students the opportunity to participate in a wide range of fitness programmes and team and individual sports at different competition levels during their time at school.
The values students develop through participation and competition – commitment, team work, resilience, perseverance, respect, loyalty and integrity – reflect our school values, and help set them up for life.
Our sports teams are coached and managed by a combination of professional staff and volunteers, many of whom are former ACG Parnell College students who want to give something back to the school.
