At Caloundra SHS we take pride in a rich history of sporting involvement and success. Past students have gone on to achieve national level selection in a variety of sports. Our sport program is divided into in
school competitions and
extra-curricular competitions.
In school competitions take place within school hours (i.e. 9am-3pm Monday to Friday). These competitions include District Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics carnivals. A squad of athletes for each of these events is selected at our school inter-house carnivals. Students then compete against other schools at the district carnivals.
Our three annual school inter-house carnivals are Swimming (February), Cross Country (March) and Athletics (June).
Caloundra State High School has four sports houses. House colours and mascots are described below:
