In Middle School, there is an increased focus on student engagement in competitive sports.

In Term 1 and Term 2 each year, students are expected to trial for a competitive sports team that will compete in the weekly Bayside District competition, standalone Christian School Sport Association tournaments and other events held by sporting organisations. Where a student is not selected for a competitive sports team in these terms, a sport rotation program will be delivered to fast-track skill development in preparation for future opportunities. In Term 3, every Middle School student will participate in the “Spring Shield” House Sports Competition, and in Term 4 a Recreational Sport program is offered to all students. Sport team trials and selections in each of these terms are solely for students wishing to participate in a range of National Sporting Organisation tournaments. If selected for a school sports team in any term, training is compulsory.
All Middle School students are expected to participate in House Carnivals for swimming, cross country and athletics, all of which are focussed on participation and having fun. High-achieving students at these carnivals will progress to Bayside, Metropolitan East and Queensland carnivals as part of the school sports pathways and compete at Christian School Sport Association carnivals.
