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 Stage 2 & 3 students.
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 sometime in the early 2000s.
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.
