Inter-school sport is offered in Townsville schools by Townsville School Sport. Weekly inter-school sport is divided into 3 seasons over the school year. A variety of sports are offered each season and schools make their own decisions as to what they will offer based on student interest, teacher qualifications and resources.
Inter-school sport in Townsville is divided into Thuringowa (Thursday) and Townsville (Friday). Heatley is in the Thuringowa district. Draws and venue maps can be found on the Townsville School Sport webpage under the header District sports.
Decisions about participation will be made each year. Considerations will include student behaviour, student attendance, parent payments and costs to the school.
