The objectives of our Sports programme are that children should, through physical education, enhance their physical development, stamina, strength, mobility and control. They should also experience achievement and confidence through physical activity, learn teamwork and most of all, enjoy sport.
Formal sports include football, rugby, basketball, cross country running, rounders, track and field sports, tennis, volleyball, hockey, cricket and netball.
House matches are run termly. There are traditionally four houses competing for the annual shield with usually one or two matches per week in seasonal sports. The Sports department arranges inter-school matches in several sports for both boys and girls. We also participate in ISA* competitions, tournaments and championships. Football fixtures are played against other schools with U14s and U16s teams. We also participate in the ISA's U14s rugby and hockey tournaments.
Students are also encouraged to take part in extra-curricular sports clubs. Our students generally make up a substantial and noteworthy portion of some local football teams playing evenings and weekends. We also field a team of students playing table tennis against adults in the local table tennis league. Good sportsmanship is taught at all levels and always encouraged.
