Sport

Equally important are sport and gymnastics. We see them not only as ways of acquiring physical skills, but also of learning to co-operate in teams. Experiencing competition teaches our girls important lessons in winning and losing.

In the early years, emphasis is on improving co-ordination, developing ball skills and the ability to use a variety of equipment. From Year 2, all girls go swimming weekly and older girls compete in swimming galas.

In the Prep Department, netball and hockey are the main winter games and the older girls have many opportunities to take part in matches and tournaments. In summer, the main sports are athletics, tennis and rounders.

Throughout the year, we run a range of after school sports clubs offering girls the opportunity to develop their skills in a number of specific disciplines.
