About
Wilderness boasts an extensive offering of sport and recreation opportunities to all girls competing across several competitions.
Wilderness is an Independent Girls School Sport Association (IGSSA) member school, and most of our Senior and Middle School sports compete in the IGSSA competitions.
Sport allows all our students, whether captain or team member, to develop qualities of commitment, teamwork and competitiveness as well as a positive attitude to personal fitness.
The benefits of exercise and physical activity are well documented for the social, emotional and health benefits for children and young people aged 5-17. The Australian Government and Department of Health recommend 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day for overall health and wellbeing, which Wilderness actively promotes.
