Sports Program
Here at Emerald State High School, we are extremely proud of our sporting teams, and everything they have been able to accomplish over the years. Our students show great dedication to their respective sports, and our staff are extremely generous in giving their time to coaching and supervising students on their sporting excursions. For a school in a town in a rural area, we compete well above our weight and regularly achieve fantastic results across a range of different sports. We love giving our students every sporting opportunity possible, and regularly participate in competitions at home and away.
