Senior School Sport
Whether the girls are competing in state or national competitions or simply having fun in a social sport team with friends, they are encouraged to do their best while learning the importance of teamwork, good sportsmanship and building on fundamental athletic development.
There are a variety of team sports on offer within the sport program that cater to all levels of playing ability, with girls participating in the Saturday IGSA competition, local community competitions or internal school competitions. Abbotsleigh currently has the highest number of team entries across all IGSA sports.
IGSA competition
Abbotsleigh is a member of the Independent Girls Schools' Association (IGSA) and much of the Senior School sport is based around the IGSA Sport calendar. IGSA has some thirty member schools, including country schools such as PLC Armidale, NEGS and Frensham. It offers two Saturday sports per term as well as carnivals for athletics, cross country, diving, gymnastics, swimming, and tennis (Tildesley Shield).
