Sport and Coaching
The College has a strong belief in Education and Development of the whole person. As such, physical activity is an integral part of the programme at Emmanuel Anglican College.
The Sports programme is aimed at providing a balance between individual and team sports and between competitive and recreational sports.
Emmanuel Anglican College is a member of the North Coast Independent Schools (NCIS) Sports Association. The member schools come from across the Northern Rivers region extending from Tweed Heads to Kempsey and West to Armidale. NCIS provides an avenue for students to progress to State representation via the Combined Independent Schools (CIS) system and All Schools.
Students at EAC are placed into one of four Houses. Inter-house competition takes place between these Houses to select teams to represent the College at regional (NCIS) level.
Primary and Secondary students are involved in a weekly sporting program that compliments the classroom Physical Education Personal Development and Health Curriculum and the Representative Sport Program.
Primary Students are involved in a range of activities including martial arts, little athletics, dance and intensive swimming and team sports.
Secondary Students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of sports including the following.
- Basketball
- Cross Fit
- Field Sports
- Futsal
- Gym Classes
- Golf
- Lawn Bowls
- Martial Arts
