Wide range of opportunities
We are delighted to provide the opportunity for our students to engage in a wide range of sports and other activities. The school is privileged to have teachers and coaches who give generously of their time and expertise in the promotion of these activities. The extra-curricular aspect of education is a growing part of the school and this year has seen further growth in this area. Sport is an essential part of a student’s schooling. It teaches team skills and fair play. It promotes leadership and of course there is lots of fun involved too! Sport also allows students to excel in an area other than the classroom which is really important. After school sports are available for all students from Monday to Thursday making the best of our facilities.
