Darwin Region facilitates interschool sports day for 42 schools. Students aged from 9 -19 are all eligible to attend the various interschool sports days on offer. Darwin Region also facilitates the trials, selections, trainings and development of teams participating in the School Sport NT (SSNT) 12 Years & Under Championship program.

Interschool Sports days

The focus for interschool sports days is participation at any level. “Come and Try” philosophy is promoted at all of the days on offer. Schools may nominate as many teams as they wish. Some sports will be split into two separate days to allow for large numbers. There is also an opportunity to nominate in either division 1 or 2 for many sports. This allows students to compete against others who are of similar ability and it allows the competition to be more even. Approximately 20 different sports are offered to both Primary and Middle/Senior levels. The cost to students who wish to attend these days is $5 for all sports.
