SPORT AND RECREATION

CAC Bindoon offers a variety of recreational and sporting activities that take advantage of our rural environment.
Whilst sport is an integral part of CAC Bindoon's curriculum, many additional activities are provided after school hours. Along with our 25 metre swimming pool, basketball, netball and tennis courts, cricket pitch and football oval, students can join either the Pony Club or Cattle Club.

The annual Athletics, Swimming and Farm Skills events are highlights of CAC Bindoon's calendar. These competitions provide an opportunity for our students to demonstrate their sporting and other abilities such as farm skills (which include fencing, rope tying, sheep judging, wool classing and tractor driving) and cattle or pig judging.

The Years 8 to 12 sports program offers a variety of experiences in team sports including basketball, cricket, tee-ball, hockey, volleyball, tennis, squash and swimming. All year levels compete in our swimming and athletics carnivals and students have the opportunity to be selected for inter-school competitions. Our students are also able to join sports clubs in Bindoon, such as tennis, football and basketball clubs.

PONY CLUB

The CAC Bindoon Pony Club provides students with an opportunity to receive instruction in riding and equine management. Students do not need to be able to ride to join Pony Club and can have the use of a College horse for a small fee each term. Alternatively, students can agist their own horse on campus if prior approval is given by the Principal - agistment application forms are available from the school office. Pony Club members are able to attend local events such as gymkhanas, country shows, campdrafts, cutting events, endurance rides and hunts.

CATTLE CLUB

The CAC Bindoon Cattle Club runs during Term 2 and 3 and teaches students the skills required for preparing and parading stud cattle. Currently two cattle studs are operated at CAC Bindoon - a Devon Stud and a Simmental Stud. Each Cattle Club member is assigned a beast for the year and is responsible for its daily care, including grooming, feeding, mucking out stalls, etc. A number of local shows are attended as well as the Perth Royal Show and our trophy and ribbon collection is evidence of the standard of our cattle and our students.

CADETS

Mr Murray Kaye runs emergency service cadets for bushfire prevention. Students partake in the program on Monday Nights at the college.
