Padua Sport

The Sports Program at St Anthony’s Catholic College is committed to fostering an environment where sportsmanship, diversity, and inclusivity are central to the student experience. Through the promotion of core values such as confidence, respect, resilience, and perseverance, the program aims to equip students with vital life-long skills. At Padua, we believe that every student, regardless of athletic ability, has something meaningful to contribute.
