Camp Hill State Infants and Primary School has a long
and strong sporting tradition. Our school grounds have extensive facilities
that enable our students to be active participants in a diverse range of
physical activity.
All students are encouraged to participate in this
dynamic program. The school Physical Education
program is diverse and includes:
Sports Carnivals
Students at Camp Hill SIPS compete in a variety of
school sporting carnivals. The following carnivals are enjoyed annually by
students, with the P-2 junior carnivals operating on separate days to the Yr3-6
senior carnivals:
Cross country carnival;
Athletics carnival;
- Swimming carnival.
Students in the Years 3-6 senior campus, are allocated
to one of three sports houses. This promotes a
healthy team and group spirit. The house names and origins are:
McIlwraith (yellow)
after Sir Thomas McIlwraith (1835-1900) - former Premier of QLD
Moore (green) after Arthur Edward Moore (1876-1963) - former Premier of QLD
Wilson (blue) after Sir Leslie Orme Wilson (1876-1955) - former Governor of QLD
House captains and vice
captains, two for each house, are elected by grade peers at the beginning of
each school year.
All of our events are well supported by families and
friends and cater for all needs of children.
