Port promotes a healthy lifestyle and positive wellbeing and encourages students and staff to participate in its weekly fitness programs. During summer months, Port makes use of the local beaches nearby by offering a run/walk and swim options. In addition Port staff offer fitness at local boxing gyms, all girls gym/fitness sessions and sports coaching to primary schools.
Port School boasts a state-of-the-art fitness centre when fitness classes are held by qualified members of staff. This amazing facility is an integral part of Port’s daily offerings and underpins Port’s ethos of healthy mind and body.
In 2017 Port School introduced Friday Night Flag which is played under lights once each term. Its purpose is to invite current and former students of Port, as well as community members to join in a friendly sporting activity. It’s played outside of school time and away from the school campus, and was the first-ever outside school sporting activity to be held in Port’s history.
Friday Night Flag, or FNF as it is affectionately known, is now an important and popular part of our school sporting culture, providing former students with the ability to keep in touch and to give back to the Port community.
Providing a real alternative for adolescents who need a different kind of school.
