Sport day

On Sport Day (Friday), students wear their sport uniform and comfortable sport shoes. The school delivers inclusive, well-planned, and enjoyable physical activities for all students.

PSSA sporting program

Mortlake Public School are proud members of the Western Suburbs PSSA (WSPSSA). Visit the WSPSSA website to explore the sports played in our zone, access rules for each sport, and view individual team draws.

PSSA is a program that offers students the chance to represent their school in competitive inter-school sports, promoting teamwork, skill development, and sportsmanship.

The competition provides students in years 3-6 with the opportunity to participate in winter and summer sports.


Mortlake Public School's senior softball team had an outstanding 2024 season and represented the school in the PSSA Grand Final.


Our Sports House System

At Mortlake Public School, every student is proudly placed into one of our four Sports Houses: Macarthur, Phillip, Wentworth, or Parkes. This system plays a key role in school life, fostering a strong sense of community, teamwork, and school spirit.

We aim to keep family traditions alive by placing siblings - and even children of former students - into the same house whenever possible.

The house system adds excitement and friendly rivalry to school events such as swimming, athletics, and cross country carnivals. It’s not just about competition - it's about connection, pride, and being part of something bigger.

Swimming scheme

The school offers an intensive swimming scheme to children who are unable to swim 50 metres. Preference is given to children in Year 2.
