At Mabel Park State High School, we are proud to have built a thriving Netball Excellence Program of more than 100 students across Years 7–12. Our program is founded on grit, determination, and legacy, while celebrating the rich cultural diversity that defines our school community. For our athletes, netball is more than a game—it is a pathway to personal growth, confidence, teamwork, and, for many, the pursuit of elite competition. Mabel Park Netball teams proudly compete in high-profile events including the Super 7's, Titans Netball Cup, INFQ Indoor Championships, Metropolitan East Finals, Vicki Wilson Cup, and the Cougar Showdown Tournament.
