BCC SPORT
Here at Brindabella Christian College, we offer a wide range of options for students of all ages and ability levels to participate and enjoy playing sport. We do this with a team of staff who love sport and through professional links with local sporting organisations and competitions to provide the best opportunities for our students. We encourage all students to give sport a go, learn new skills and explore their sporting passions so they have the best chance to achieve everything they want to in the sporting arena.
We believe that sport is such a valuable part of a student’s educational program as well as an integral part of their well-being during their time here at the college. Sport teaches them valuable life lessons such as teamwork, discipline, self-esteem, humility, social skills, respect, confidence and the benefits of a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
