Sports  

There is a range of sports programmes students participate in during the summer and winter months.  The sports include...

• Tee ball for the younger students.  Tee ball happens at Carters Park down Guppy Road on Saturday morning during the summer months.  Senior students who wish to play softball can do so through the local club
• Cricket is run through the school and we always appreciate parent involvement and coaching
• Hockey is a very important sport at Arthur Miller.  Younger and older students are encouraged to participate
• Rippa Rugby and Touch are offered after school and during the winter season if sufficient students are interested. We always participate in the local school tournaments
• Rugby on Saturday is run by local clubs
• Soccer is offered after school in term 2 and 3.  Students can also play on Saturday mornings at local clubs
• Netball runs during the second term and sometimes there is opportunity for additional games in term 3.  Junior students can take part in Saturday morning ball skills during Term 2
• Canoe polo is sometimes offered depending on interest and coach availability
• Indoor cricket is offered locally and we often have a team in - we rely on parent support for this as it is on a Friday afternoon after school 
• Sometimes indoor basketball is offered locally after school and A.M.S. puts in a team dependent on parent transport and parent team managers; and 
• Karate is run from our school hall on Monday afternoon after school.  All ages are encouraged.
