Guildford Grammar School Sporting Competition
Apart from two well-equipped gymnasiums and
two swimming pools, Guildford Grammar School
utilises some 40 hectares of playing fields, comprising
rugby grounds, football ovals, hockey pitches, turf
wickets, tennis, basketball and netball courts, plus
additional areas for net practice and general games.
Rowing takes place on the nearby Swan River.
Sport in the Senior School is compulsory and there is
a wide range of choices.
Parents will receive information from the Heads of
Sport regarding the online sport selection process
early in Term 4. Please note that current students are
not required to make sport selections. Existing sport
allocations will always automatically roll over into
the following year. Should a current student wish
to change their sport selections for 2020, they must
complete the Change of Sport Application Form
available from Senior School Administration.
