THE DEPARTMENT RUNS a fully fledged sports programme throughout the year.
The programme is designed in such a way that each and every child is afforded the
opportunity to reach their full potential in sport.
The department is headed by the Director of Sport. Each sport is run by a
teacher-in-charge. Every member of the teaching staff is expected to coach at least one
sport every term. In addition the department has fulltime sports coaches who are involved
in the coaching of our various sporting disciplines. Every member of the department is
encouraged to continually up skill themselves by undertaking coaching courses regularly.
Our students play in specific age-groups; namely U14, U15, U16, U17 and seniors.
Every student must be involved in at least one sport every term. The sports are grouped
into two main categories: compulsory and optional, with each student signing up for at
least one compulsory sport per term.
COMPULSORY SPORTS
Rugby
Hockey
Swimming
Tennis
Cricket
Athletics
Basketball
Cross country
OPTIONAL SPORTS
Golf
Softball
Squash
volleyball
soccer
The sports programme allocates slots for practice for each sport every week. Athletes are
expected to attend all practice sessions and fixtures unless they have been issued with a
medical excuse note from the sanatorium. The students are expected to be correctly dressed
for both practice and fixtures.
The sports department also runs a physical education department. The lessons are
timetabled together with the school academic time table. In forms 1 and two students are
introduced to the basics of physical education as well as the basic skills and
techniques of the compulsory sports. Physical Education is offered as one of the
practical subjects options at form 3 and 4. The students sit for the IGCSE examinations
at the end of the two years.
OUR GOAL
To engage in an athlete-centred, coach-directed egoless pursuit of excellence.
