Speech & Debate
In living memory Eastern Goldfields has never won an A grade competition. Many students criticise the lack of a school run sporting program as many south-west schools have (such as Australind)
Eastern Goldfields has also competed in rugby union games against rival high school John Paul College (Kalgoorlie), this competition began in 2006, and is held annually with both the Yr 11 and 12's and the year 8-10's representing their own 15 man squads.The rugby union competition is bitterly competitive and since its creation has been a frequent staging ground for fights and brawls.Eastern Goldfields has beaten JPC in every match so far.
Frequent attempts have been made at instigating inter-school cricket and football competitions between the two high schools but none of the competitions enjoyed much longevity.
