Organised sport and clubs began in 1919 with the formation of the Junior Technical School Students' Association. Clubs included the Rifle Club, Wireless Club, Senior Cadet team, Photography Club and Bugle Band. Sport was the Associations main concern.

Students from the district competed against each other in football, cricket and tennis. The number of schools increased and more sports were introduced.
