Health and Physical Education (HPE) is an integral part of school life and instils in our students a strong appreciation for personal fitness and the benefits of teamwork.
Corinda prides itself on its commitment to quality sporting competitions and opportunities for all. This comes from a deeply held belief that physical activity is essential for the physical, social and emotional well-being of our students. As such, there are many opportunities for students to become involved in sport at Corinda.
