Uniform and Equipment
On scheduled sport days, students must wear their College Physical Education uniform to and from school. They are encouraged to apply sunscreen for outdoor activities, wear their College cap and bring a water bottle to all sessions. The College supplies appropriate sport equipment for each team.
House Carnivals
House carnivals provide an opportunity for all students to participate in events across the four Premier Sports (Swimming, Athletics, Chess, and Cross Country).
It is another way in which students can connect, try something new and represent their House with pride.
SSV Premier Sports Team
At the completion of House Carnivals, students will be talent identified from their performance data, to join the relevant Overnewton Premier Squad. Overnewton Premier Squads train before school for a maximum of 10 sessions across the SSV Championships preparation period. The Overnewton Premier Team will be made up of Squad members and will compete in the SSV Premier Sports Championships.
Melbourne Victory Talented Player Program
Overnewton is proud to be the first football partner school of Melbourne Victory Football Club, offering students an unparalleled opportunity to combine academic excellence with elite sporting pathways. Through access to professional coaching, high-performance training, and exclusive A-League experiences, students refine their technical skills, tactical understanding, and love for the game.
Beyond the pitch, the program fosters qualities of resilience, leadership, and teamwork, equipping students to thrive both in football and in life.
