Paul’s is renowned for its sporting prowess and the large attendance and enthusiastic support given by its members at intercollegiate and social fixtures. Internal social matches – including the time-honoured tradition of ‘Tip’ (touch football) before Formal Dinner – also take a valued place in the College’s weekly rhythm.
The intercollegiate competitions are the sporting heartbeat of college life at the University of Sydney. Across the academic year, men compete for the Rawson Cup and women for the Rosebowl, with colleges facing off across eight sports — cricket, rowing, swimming, rugby, soccer, basketball, tennis and athletics — points accumulating after each event until the final standings are settled.
With eight sports spread across both semesters, the competition runs deep into the academic year
and draws the whole College out to support.
Our state-of-the-art sporting facilities support individual training, team practice, and active participation across the College community.
One of the most popular facilities at St Paul’s is the TAG Family Gymnasium, a spacious and fully equipped fitness centre featuring a cardio room and dance/movement studio exclusively available to residents. Residents can also enjoy a Billiards, Pool, and Table Tennis located in various recreation rooms around the College.
The College Oval is available to all students for casual games, personal training, or just relaxing.
