Each
year, the four House groups at Dakabin State High School compete in various
sporting carnivals which take place throughout the year. The school hosts an annual Swimming Carnival, Athletics Carnival
and a Cross Country event. Students
choose to participate in these carnivals as a representative of their allocated
school house group, either Bradman, Cuthbert, Elliott or Fraser.
From these carnivals' students are then able
to qualify for and participate at district, regional, State, and in some cases,
National carnivals. Student
participation and success at the school carnivals also culminates in an ‘Age Champion’
for each age group, which is recognised with an award
