Sport is a compulsory part of the curriculum at NCC, and therefore full student attendance and involvement is required. NCC’s Sport program aims to cater for all students through a variety of solo and group sporting activities so they can discover the physical, social and other benefits that come from being active.
Students at NCC have access to the finest on-campus facilities on the Sunshine Coast, including a multi-purpose stadium, fully-equipped gymnasium and a custom-built rock climbing wall as well as dedicated ovals. With us, students from Prep to Year 12 can grow their abilities while fostering sportsmanship, teamwork, leadership and pride in performance through competing as a member of NCC’s Sporting teams.
