It is hoped that students will gain physical, emotional and social benefits through participation in sport. Students are expected to wear their correct sports uniforms for their chosen activities.

As part of their weekly timetable, students participate in representative / interschool or recreational sporting activities. Sports days are Tuesdays for Years 7-8, Wednesdays for Years 11-12 and Thursdays for Years 9-10.
Alexandra Hills SHS has representative teams that compete against other schools in Bayside District and Metropolitan East sport. This can involve weekly bus travel to neighbouring schools or off-campus sporting facilities. Summer Season interschool sports include touch football, basketball, volleyball, baseball, softball and squash. Winter Season interschool sports include netball, rugby league, football, AFL, volleyball and tennis.
Students who are not involved in interschool sports participate in recreational activities including dance, cricket, soccer, basketball, netball, powerwalking and yoga. The school also offers activities at various venues in the community and utilises the expertise of a number of outside instructors. Some of these activities, including powerwalking, ten-pin bowling, baseball, netball and gym involve students walking off-campus under the supervision of teachers.
Weekly sports selections (interschool or recreational) will be available for parents to view on their student’s timetable and online via Q Parents.
During the year, students also participate in special athletic events including Athletics Carnival (on-campus), Swimming Carnival (involving bus travel), Cross-Country Carnival and DASH Day / Fun-Run (where students may navigate a course that goes outside the school boundary, under the supervision of teachers).
