SECONDARY SPORT
St Martins is a member of the South East Secondary Schools Sports Association (SESSSA) as well as the state-wide SSSA (Secondary Schools Sports Association). The major role of these organisations is to promote a variety of sports to secondary school students as well as the organisation of Interschool sporting competitions.
Depending upon the strengths and weaknesses of particular year levels, teams from St Martins are nominated to enter a vast variety of sporting events.
The following list summarises the events that we have entered in previous years:

As well as the numerous Interschool events St Martins is involved in, there are also a number of secondary school events that are run annually.
Athletics Carnival
The Secondary Athletics Carnival is a major focus of Term 1 and is generally held in Week 7. Students from Years 7 – 12 spend the day competing in their age groups in a full range of athletic events as well as some more laid-back novelty events. The day culminates in Championship Sprints, House Team Relays, and a Staff v Parents v Students race.
Swimming Carnival
This is traditionally held on the first Wednesday of Term 1 and involves all students from Years 7 – 12. Students compete in House teams and are encouraged to compete in as many events as possible. There are also a number of novelty events that allow all students to gain participation points.
