Sports at Freshwater Senior Campus
As NBSC Freshwater Senior Campus is a Stage 6 school (Years 11 and 12), sport is not part of the curriculum, however, we do encourage all students to get involved in the different avenues of sport within the school.

Sport Carnivals
Athletics
The athletics carnival is held at the beginning of Term 2 and is 'whole school' providing a great opportunity to bring Year 11 and Year 12 together. Students compete for their 'year group' to win points and potentially win the 'bird'. Students that place will represent Freshwater Senior Campus at Warringah Zone and potentially Sydney North, CHS and All Schools.
Swimming and Cross Country
In 2025, school swimming and cross country carnival were not run. Students registered their interest to represent their school at the Warringah Zone Carnival. Students were then provided with an opportunity to potentially represent Sydney North, CHS and All Schools.

Communicate challenges and achievements to teachers.
Meet with students and SLO every month during faculty hubs (every second hub) to check in/ support learning/ create study timetables.
