Sports & Games Club

Four houses, one field

What this club is for

Purpose

To invite every student into physical activity and healthy competition, and to develop the corporate spirit and character the school looks for in its students.

What it aims to develop

  1. Participation for all

    A place on the field for every student, not only the athletically gifted.

  2. House-level team play

    Team play built around the four houses, so every child belongs to a side.

  3. Fitness and coordination

    Stamina, coordination and basic fitness, built through regular P.T. periods.

  4. Sportsmanship

    Learning to win and lose well, and to respect the other side.
