[edit] Athletics

The school does generally well in sports events including Rugby and Netball. There has been an emphasis on Girls' sports lately, in particular the Year 11 Girls rugby team who for the last couple of years have reached the national Finals,[citation needed] only to be conquered by Cardinal Newman. They do nothing for other sports, such as basketball.

[edit] Choir

The All Saints Catholic College Choir recently achieved a bronze medal at the World Choir Games in Austria, having only been together a year.[citation needed] The students met choirs from all over the world and competed against the very best in their category, mixed youth choirs.
