Education, like life itself, is about much more than academics, students need to leave school with a range of knowledge and skills. Our duty is to identify an individual’s strengths and then help foster their passion for various activities be they in the classroom, or the sports field. Participation in sport helps build friendships, teamwork and a sense of camaraderie. Relationships built around mutual interests develop into friendships and memories that endure.
We aim to give our students a love of sport and prepare them for lifelong physical activity. Physical Education is an integral part of our curriculum across all years.
