At Corinda SHS, our vision is to establish a recognised Netball Excellence Program, positioning our school as a leader in netball skill development and player pathways across the Brisbane West region.
About the program
Our program is built on strong partnerships with Western Districts Netball Association, external sporting pathways, and expert Corinda staff that ensure students are supported both on and off the court.
We aim to create outstanding young people who excel not only as athletes, but as respectful, motivated and resilient members of the community.
Whether students aspire to play at an elite level or simply want to improve their game and be part of a high-performance environment, our academy provides the pathway, support and inspiration to help them reach their full potential.

Each year level has one selected team to represent Corinda SHS at the interschool Gala Day competition, showcasing our talent and commitment to excellence.
In 2025, three Corinda SHS teams (Year 7, Year 10 and Open Girls) won their Gala Day competitions and progressed to the Metropolitan West Finals. Our Open Girls team was defeated by Stuartholme School in the grand final after winning all their round games throughout the 1-day competition.
