General Excellence Scholarships (Sport)

Sport plays an integral role in the social, emotional and physical development of our students at Caulfield Grammar School. We are dedicated to creating a sporting culture that focuses on enjoyment, participation and community. 

Students compete in both the prestigious Associated Public Schools of Victoria (APS) and Associated Grammar Schools of Victoria (AGSV) Sport competitions, as well as a range of sport-specific regional, state and national interschool competitions. There are also opportunities for students to participate in House Sport, sports camps and tours both within Australia and internationally. 

General Excellence Scholarship recipients are required to commit to training and competition in APS Sport through to the end of Year 12, be fully involved in and provide leadership in activities related to their discipline, both curricular and co-curricular, as well as all-round participation in life of Caulfield Grammar School.  

Successful applicants will receive part remission of tuition fees through to the end of Year 12 – typically between 25% and 75%. Offers will consider family’s financial means (details to be provided by shortlisted applicants at the interview stage).
