Top of the Table

CHAC is recognised as one of the most successful Colleges in our inter-school sporting competition, The Associated Schools (TAS), leading the way for student participation and results across all sports.

Our 2020 results stand testament to a sports program which has seen the College remain as the Number 1 Sport school in the TAS Competition. CHAC was also the Champion Cross Country school for the third time in four years in 2019; and top of the table for the only Trimester competitively played in 2020.

In 2019, we achieved a gold medal at the Australian National Volleyball Schools Cup, as well as a gold and silver medal at the Junior Volleyball Schools Cup.

Secondary Inter-school Sport

Secondary students participate in The Associated Schools (TAS) sporting competition, with training held at the College before or after the school day, and matches played on Saturday mornings. TAS competition matches take place in the first three terms (trimesters) of each year, as well as three Carnivals for Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics.

Primary Inter-school Sport

Primary students participate in a Saturday morning inter-school competition in the Associated Schools Junior Competition (Junior TAS); a Brisbane-wide sporting competition involving 12 co-educational schools. CHAC students are also able to access District, Regional and State representations through the Lytton and Gateway Districts. Primary students participate in three CHAC and JTAS carnivals each year: Athletics, Cross Country and Swimming.

The sports and competitions currently offered to CHAC students appear below.

Representative Sport

Students who have a high skill level in a chosen sport may elect to trial at the District level. If successful in making a District team, the student would then compete at the Metropolitan East Regional level, and could progress to State level.

CHAC has been involved in non TAS sports in the past including Australian Rules Football and Girls’ Football.

Sports Excellence Program

In Years 9 and 10, selected students who excel in the sporting arena may participate in a year-long study extension unit, to further extend their capabilities. The program is targeted at improving the fitness base and skills set of sport-minded individuals, with specific emphasis placed on those activities that are included within the TAS Sports Program. Concepts relating to optimising sports performance are included, as are areas such as human anatomy.
