Badminton is a fun and rapidly growing sport in New South Wales. PLC Sydney Senior School students can compete in the Harden Classic and the IGSA Badminton competitions.
The Harden Classic, named after our retired Head of Sport Ms Belinda Harden who introduced Badminton to PLC Sydney in 2009, is a PLC Sydney-only competition. It features our top Year 7, Junior, and Senior players competing to be crowned Champion toward the end of the season.
