We offer a wide range of optional extra-curricular sporting activities ranging from gymnastics, dance and tennis for Pre-Prep to a more comprehensive programme of morning, lunchtime and after-school clubs for girls in the Prep School.
In both squads and clubs, our coaches help the girls to learn skills and apply tactics appropriate to their age and ability. During these activities, the girls develop their commitment to personal and team goals as well as learn about the responsibility associated with being part of a team.
Although results are important; more emphasis is placed on the the opportunities that competition presents. Exposing girls to the emotions associated with winning and losing is vital for them to learn about sportsmanship. We expect our girls to show exemplary behaviour, manners and courtesy at sporting events; as well as being gracious in both victory and defeat. Most importantly, we hope that being involved in sport helps to develop the girls’ self-esteem and confidence in all areas of their education.
