At Cleveland District State High School the Health and Physical Education Department aims to provide all students with maximum opportunity to succeed in sport by offering students a huge range of sports both intra and inter school, and an array of competitions in which to participate. HPE curriculum supports the Bayside Soccer academy by 8, 9 and 10 soccer development classes integrated into the HPE program and Advanced Soccer Principles course in Years 11 and 12. Recently the department has begun developing a health and fitness laboratory involving the purchase of several computers and software packages, including biomechanical and diet analysis software. The introduction of this student-centred interactive laboratory into the current junior and senior Health and Physical Education programs will undoubtedly improve students’ knowledge of the benefits of health and fitness and encourage them to live healthy and active lives in the future.

Cleveland District SHS is affiliated with Bayside District sport. Students have the opportunity to participate in District swimming, cross country and athletics as well as a weekly interschool sporting program - Year 8/9 students on Tuesday afternoons and 10/11/12 students on Wednesday afternoons.
