School Sports Victoria
Harvester Technical College a membber of School Sports Victoria and competes against approximately ten other schools from the Western District. We have competitive and talented students who have performed extremely well when competing against other schools, often with a much bigger student pool to choose from.
Students often try-out for upcoming sports during during break times or after school. With a huge range of sports to choose from including Volleyball, Cricket, Basketball, Tennis, Soccer, Futsal, Table Tennis and Rugby Union, there is sure to be a sport for most students.
Sport & Health
At Harvester Technical College, all staff value the importance of physical activity and the enormous benefits associated with being both fit and healthy. All students, in their structured timetables, have a weekly Sport & Health lesson where they are expected to participate in a range of sports, from traditional sports such as Australian Rules Football and Soccer through to the not so traditional sports such as Ultimate Frisbee and Tree Surfing.
Whilst the emphasis is to encourage students to move and to participate practically in all sports, students are also required to complete a theory-based component of the subject which covers a range of topics including nutriton, physical health, and drug and alcohol education.
Sport also plays an important role in our House System. We have four house teams, being Red, Blue, Green and Yellow. Sport gives all students the opportunity to get together as a whole school community and compete for house points in various sports.
