TMSHS Intraschool and Interhouse Sport
There are three school sports carnivals/trials throughout the year. These are Swimming, (Years 7 – 12), Cross Country, (Years 7 – 12) and Athletics, Years 7 – 12). Participation is one of the key focus areas with students competing in Holt houses earning points toward the Champion house for each carnival as well as the Overall House Champion at the End of the Year. Students will also compete for individual Age Champion honours. From these carnivals, students can be nominated to represent Tamborine Mountain State High School and compete at the Broadwater District Trials.
Our sporting houses
Our sporting houses are based on the first letter of students' surnames
YARGA = A-E
CURTIS = F-K
WAIBURRA = L-R
HOLT = S-Z
Pollock Cup
Students also have the opportunity to participate in some additional intraschool sport events. Throughout lunch breaks the Sport Captains run round robin sport competitions for the students, culminating in Teacher vs Student game at the end of term. The result for each Student vs Teacher competition throughout the year is collated and the Overall winner (Teachers or Students) is announced as the Pollock Cup Champion. The Pollock Cup is named after a TMSHS staff member who has excelled in sport and has represented Australia in Touch Football.
Broadwater (District) Sport (10 – 19 year olds)
The Broadwater District has three major sport trials linked to our 3 School Carnivals; Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics. Tamborine Mountain State High School take a bus to transport or students to and from the Cross Country and Athletics trials. For the Broadwater Swimming Carnival transport is to be organised by parent/caregivers. Nominations for these carnivals are made by the school based on results at the school event. Generally, the top two place getters for athletics, top 10 for Cross Country and top two place getters for swimming progress through to these events if they are meeting qualifying guidelines.
There is also a wide range of Broadwater sport trials throughout the year that can be attended by students. These trials begin within the first 2 weeks of the school year so generally Students or parents must submit their nomination to the Sport Coordinator for any Broadwater sport trials prior to the end of January where possible. These trials are held at various venues and times throughout Terms 1,2 and 3 with most beginning at 3.30pm. Students cannot participate in these trials they have been nominated by the school and a Medical and Parent Consent form is completed and handed to the convenor on the day of the trial.
Travel to these trials is to be organised by parents/caregivers. Students can leave school at 2.30pm (sign out at Student Services) if required, to make the 3.30pm trials.
The TMSHS Sport coordinator will always be your first point of information regarding Broadwater Trials.
South Coast (Regional) Sport (10 – 19 Year Olds)
Through the trials, if students qualify, they can be selected to represent the Broadwater District at the South Coast regional trials. Students will be notified if they are selected for South Coast competition, which then leads to state, and national competitions.
