At Noosa District SHS students have a number of avenues to access sporting competition throughout their school life. This includes internal sporting competitions during the different carnivals as well as lunchtime activities that are offered based on student and staff interest. In addition to this, the school also offers numerous inter-school competitions throughout the year for those students who wish to test themselves at a higher more competitive level. Noosa Dsitrict SHS is also part of the North District and Sunshine Coast representative sporting pathways.
Intra-school
At this level the school is organised around four houses, Cooroora, Eerwah, Pinbarren and Tinbeerwah. Students are put into one of these houses and then have the chance to compete in swimming, cross country and athletics carnivals throughout the year. These carnivals cater for a diverse range of abilities with novelty, participation and competitive events open to all interested and capable students.
Inter-school
At the next competitive level students can then go on to compete at district (against the local high schools in the North District), regional (involving all school on the Sunshine Coast) and state level. Multiple opportunities exist in other sports to also compete at the above three levels.
Students need to listen to notices for these chances and contact the relevant teacher organising this sport. Some of these sports include rugby league, cricket, basketball, touch, soccer and volleyball. Students in years seven, eight, nine and ten, also have the chance to take part in the North District interschool sports competition. This is conducted in Term 2 of Years 9 &10 and Term 3 for Years 7 & 8 and includes the sports of basketball, netball, soccer, touch and volleyball. Noosa District SHS has had a proud history in this competition.
