Sports

Our vision is to foster ‘enrichment through sport’ and we strive to offer the best sporting opportunities possible to our students. Last year over 90% of students competed in interschool sport at the College and it is our aim to provide a top-quality sports experience for all students regardless of ability. Our philosophy is based on assisting students to become the ‘best they can be’ in their sporting area. A big part of assisting students to achieve their potential is providing specialised coaching to as many teams as possible and, in this regard, the College is very well placed with staff expertise.

The Preparatory School provides many exciting sporting opportunities for students. Our sports programme is directed by our Head of Preparatory Sport, who ensures it reflects current trends, meets the needs of students, and provides a pathway to the Secondary School.

Sport is compulsory in Years 4–8, as is participation in our annual athletics, swimming, cross-country and duathlon events. We offer a range of sports and students have the opportunity to attend inter-school sports competitions at local, regional and national level. A strong sports exchange system, and an annual sports tour are other highlights.

Our Athlete Sports Programmes are designed to educate student athletes with high performance sports preparation, while encouraging academic excellence, balance, wellness and the development of good character. The focus is on the development of the whole student – physically, academically, emotionally and socially. These programmes are designed for students who are determined to work hard to achieve their sporting goals. A further key focus is on the student’s development of organisation, planning and leadership qualities.
