Beecroft Zone Interschool Sport
General Information:

Affectionately known as PSSA Sport since the beginning of time......

Beecroft Zone offers Interschool Sport to its Member Schools on an opt-in basis each Summer and Winter for Stages 2 & 3, as well as Cluster 3 Sport for smaller schools in the north-west area of the Zone.

Due to the shear size of the Beecroft Zone, combined with the traffic on Pennant Hills and New Line Roads, Interschool Sport was split into 3 clusters:

• Cluster 1:

  • • Epping PS, Epping North PS, Epping Heights PS, Epping West PS & Roselea PS.

• Cluster 2:

  • • Beecroft PS, Cherrybrook PS, Pennant Hills PS, Thornleigh West PS, Normanhurst PS, Normanhurst West PS, West Pennant Hills PS & John Purchase PS.

• Cluster 3:

  • • Galston PS, Middle Dural PS, Glenorie PS, Arcadia PS, Annangrove PS, Hillside PS & Dural PS.

In recent years Clusters 1 & 2 have amalgamated to form an 11 - 14 school competition, Dural PS has moved into this and Cluster 3 is still going strong.
