Sports
Numurkah Secondary College has an established sporting program steeped in tradition. We have a competitive house system consisting of four houses; Christie, Gray, Hunkin and Tweddle. These houses are named in honour of past Numurkah students who are gave their lives during the second World War; John Christie, John Gray, Gregory Hunkin and Charles Tweddle.
Inter-house sporting events take place throughout the year and students in the houses are supported by a student leadership group in the form of house captains. Major house swimming, cross country and athletics carnivals are held each year where all interested students have the opportunity to compete. Winners from the house carnivals advance to the inter-school Goulburn Murray Division competition.
Numurkah Secondary College is a member of the Goulburn Murray Division of School Sport Victoria (GMDSSV), where we compete regularly with other secondary schools. The sports program at Numurkah Secondary College offers all students the opportunity to participate in a wide range of inter-school sporting competitions such as badminton, baseball, basketball, clay target shooting, cricket, European handball, football, golf, hockey, lawn bowls, netball, softball, squash, soccer, table tennis, ten pin bowling, tennis and volleyball.
Students participate in divisional, regional, conference and state level sports as well as in the local house sport competitions. Although success in competitive sport is important to us, our fundamental objective is to promote within students an interest and enjoyment of healthy living and practices that support a healthy lifestyle.
