Our school is committed to providing quality sporting competitions and opportunities. This comes from a deeply held belief that physical activity is essential for the physical, social and emotional wellbeing of our students. As such, there are many opportunities for students to become involved in sport here at Corinda.
Representative Sport Pathways
Throughout the year there are a number of Representative Trials that students can apply to attend. Our Representative district is Eastern Taipans. These trials give our students the opportunity to compete against the best players in the region, state and country.
Representative Trials are currently available for the following sports:
- AFL

Please note that these trials are only for students who have a demonstrated ability to play at a high level and have evidence of skills/abilities. Throughout the year, the HPE staff will post on Student Notices when trials are approaching and students will be required to email to express interest in signing up. They will also be asked to include some playing information (positions, experience, current teams etc) that can be passed on to the selectors.
Most District Trials occur after school hours, while Regional Trials are conducted on a full school day. Students are required to provide their own transport to trials.
The 2025 Eastern Taipans Sports Calendar is available here please note this is subject to change.

Elite Athlete Development Program
At Corinda State High School, we are dedicated to supporting high-performing athletes in their pursuit of excellence. We understand the unique demands and commitments that come with being involved in competitive sports. The Elite Athlete Development Program provides our individual athletes with the support and flexibility to pursue their sporting commitments and dreams in partnership with their education.
If your child is engaged in an elite level sport and would benefit from additional support, we encourage you to reach out to Ms Walker, our Director of Sports Development (swalk203@eq.edu.au). We are eager to hear about our students' athletic endeavours and explore potential avenues of assistance.
