St Monica's has a proud sporting tradition where students have the opportunity to take part in representative sports at a number of levels.

Sport at St Monica's is about energy, teamwork, health, and most importantly, fun. We offer a variety of sporting choices so all students can discover their passions and talents, as well as a number of carnivals and opportunities to represent our school.

Sports Carnivals

Students enjoy participating at a school level in these carnivals, building school spirit and sporting skills. Students who experience success at this level then have the opportunity to compete at the Zone level.
