ABOUT US
At Marsden, we believe that sport teaches students about sportsmanship, teamwork, and courage. We want girls to be gracious winners and good losers. It plays an important part in the life of most Marsden students, with an 80 percent participation rate. We encourage all students to have a balance between sport, schoolwork, and their social life. We currently have over 80 Marsden teams competing in 29 different sports around the region.
Everybody Active, Marsden's Sport and Recreation Plan was finalised in early 2023 and will be the focus of Marsden sport for 2023 to 2026. The key focus areas of the plan are the following:
Marsden students take part in activities which range from social badminton and floorball to our competitive football, hockey, netball, and rowing teams - there's something for everyone!
Experts and elite athletes come in to help our sportswomen and their coaches improve essential skills while we support our top athletes as much as we can in their ambitious goals.
We are lucky to have the energetic support of parents in all our sports. We are so grateful to all of those parents who volunteer to coach teams, manage teams, transport teams and students to and from their games, and parents who travel away with students on tournaments.
