Mansfield State High School has traditionally competed in summer and winter interschool sport competitions against other schools coordinated by the South District Secondary School Sport Association.
A range of challenges have emerged over the last few years resulting in limited playing time due to travel time, limited availability of venues, the opportunity to field only one team per age division and rising costs. This results in restricted opportunity for our students to play sport and does not provide value for money.
After discussions at a regional level, a consensus to discontinue interschool sport in 2025 has been reached, offering students instead the opportunity to play in alternative sporting pathways, for example, Gala Days and other competitions such as:
- All Schools Touch
- Volleyball Schools Cup
- Vicki Wilson Cup (netball)
- Futsal Championships
- Bill Turner Cup (football)
Students may also have additional opportunities to play sport through the Mansfield Sports Group (MSG) for Touch, Futsal, Basketball, Volleyball and Netball.
