Cocurricular Activities

Students are encouraged to extend themselves beyond the classroom, through the wider cultural, artistic, intellectual, outdoor and sporting opportunities St Paul’s College provides.

St Paul's College offers a wide variety of cocurricular activities that complement the student's academic (curricular) programs. 

Cocurricular activities help students build character, confidence, self-esteem and valuable relationships. 

As a member of the Sports Association for Adelaide Schools, St Paul's College provides opportunities for high-quality competition between member schools in South Australia while fostering fellowship and interaction between member schools through sport.

In 2024 St Paul's became a 36ers High Performance Academy School. Click here to read more
