Since 1900 the schools have been competing in sporting competitions, including the Head of the River rowing regattas, the APS Combined Swimming & Diving Championships and the APS Athletics Championships. The headquarters of the APS is situated on Morrison Street, Hawthorn, Victoria.

In March 2005, the APS member schools formed a set of guidelines regarding the awarding of sporting scholarships to students, following criticism of recruiting practices employed by the schools.
