Coorparoo State School prides itself on its commitment to school sport. Students have a choice of a number of sports throughout the school year. The school currently boasts National, Queensland, Regional and district school team representatives in a variety of sports. Coorparoo has a sports committee composed of teachers and parents that advances projects connected with school interschool and recreational sport.

District, Regional and State Sports Representation

Coorparoo is one of 30+ schools that make up the Lytton District. This term we will hold in-school trials to identify students to send to Lytton Trials. If students are successful in gaining selection in a Lytton team, they will then compete to make it into our Regional side (Met East). Selection in a Met East side will mean students have the opportunity to compete in State Championships and potentially make a State team.

Students born in 2015, 2014 and 2013 are eligible to attend in-school trials for team sports. It is highly important that students attend in-school trials on the dates and times specified on our various social media platforms QParents/Website and Facebook page. Information is also communicated to students at school. If a student is absent due to illness on the day of an in-school trial/or is currently injured, please email the morning of the trial before 9am (mcarp16@eq.edu.au), so we can take this into consideration when making our selections.

Selection in Lytton teams is highly competitive, so there is an expectation that students trialling have had/are having experience playing the sport they are trialling for. Most Lytton trials are for U12 teams (Netball and Rugby League are the exception as there are U11 and U12 teams selected). Whilst 10 Yr old students are invited to attend trials, they need to be aware that they will be competing against 12 Yr old students in most cases.

Met East Swimming Trials (students born 2013, 2014 and 2015)
We are calling for paper nominations to select students to attend the Met East Swim Trials (Tuesday 4 March). Any times submitted must be swum at a recognised swimming event (Club/ Brisbane/ QLD/ Swimming Australia). The times submitted can be long or short course, but must have been swum since 1 September 2024. Nominations need to be in by Monday 10 February at 9am. If you are considering nominating, please email Megan Lopez (mcarp16@equ.edu.au) as soon as possible, so I can send you a list of the events and qualifying times.

AFL Trials (Girls and Boys born in 2013, 2014 and 2015)
There will be a Boys and Girls AFL trial to select students to attend the Lytton Trials on Tuesday 4 February at 1st Break on Carey Field. Please come down at the start of 1st Break. Bring your lunch, hat, water bottle and appropriate clothes to trial in (an AFL jersey and footy boots would be ideal). You MUST bring a mouthguard-you will not be able to trial if you do not bring this. Please sign up at the PE office so we know how many students will be attending.
Note: Lytton Girls trial date is Wednesday 19 February and Lytton Boys trial date is Monday 17 February
