Redlands is a member of the Independent Schools Association (ISA), also competing against the Athletic Association of the Great Public Schools of New South Wales (AAGPS) in some sports. The school offers both representative and non-representative sports, with students been required to compete in one representative sport a year (either Summer or Winter).
In the Senior School, many students participate in Basketball and Netball, with the boys and girls 1st's basketball teams recently winning their isa competition in 2009. And in 2010 the boys 1st XV rugby team and girl Ist Netball team winning their grand finals.
The school's rowing program has encountered several challenges in recent years, with the arson attack on the shed at Tambourine Bay forcing the programme to move to North Shore Rowing Club for the 06-07 season, also situated on Sydney's Lane Cove River.

Famous quotes containing the word sport:
“How long, then, Catiline, while you abuse our patience? How long is this madness of yours to make sport of us?”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
“Rabelais, for instance, is intolerable; one chapter is better than a volume,—it may be sport to him, but it is death to us. A mere humorist, indeed, is a most unhappy man; and his readers are most unhappy also.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Sweet Auburn, loveliest village of the plain,
Where health and plenty cheered the labouring swain,
Where smiling spring its earliest visit paid,
And parting summer’s lingering blooms delayed,
Dear lovely bowers of innocence and ease,
Seats of my youth, when every sport could please,
How often have I loitered o’er the green,
Where humble happiness endeared each scene.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)
