Meet Our Sports Leaders


For those who don’t know me, my name is Scott Steinhardt, and I have worked at LORDS for the past 8 years in Year 6. I am a very passionate sportsperson and can’t wait to get involved more in LORDS Sports. A little bit of my background is that I majored in Health and Physical Education at University. I have coached several sports for both club and representative teams in soccer, futsal, cricket, volleyball, and touch, and I enjoy being outdoors.

Ms. Kate Nankivell is the Secondary School Sports Coordinator. She is a dedicated educator and passionate advocate for health and fitness. Growing up in regional NSW, her love for physical activity was nurtured by her parents' support for her interests. A keen field hockey player, she retired early due to three ACL ruptures, but this challenge has only strengthened her commitment to an active lifestyle. She is now a devoted gym enthusiast who has recently embraced running and has several fun runs on her calendar. Additionally, Ms. Nankivell enjoys swimming, cycling, and learning to play golf.

Her happy place is the beach, where she loves to run and swim, often enjoying an acai bowl afterward. A fan of rugby and a kindness campaigner, she is also a car lover and travel enthusiast. Ms. Nankivell is committed to providing a diverse sports program for Year 7-12 students, ensuring every student can access and enjoy physical activity. She emphasises competition etiquette, respect, and fair play, fostering camaraderie and a positive culture. Ultimately, she hopes each student will discover a lifelong passion for health and fitness, inspiring and nurturing them to embark on their journeys toward personal growth.

In the Secondary School, we offer a range of sporting activities. Our inter-school sports program allows students to represent the school in various competitions, as we are a member of the Association of Gold Coast Colleges (AGCC) and the South Coast Pacific District.

Our co-curricular program includes signature sports such as Futsal, Netball, and Kokoda, as well as Touch Football and Basketball. We also offer a Running Club and Rugby 7s, with Track and Field set to be added in 2025.
