Prospectus - Sport

The schools sporting programme is meaningless unless it is seen as an important part of the educational process. Sport gives the pupils opportunities to gain values and skills that will be of benefit throughout their lives. What we seek to convey is an outgoing, healthy, physically active life style where enjoyable physical reaction is the norm, where the place of competition is understood and where the countless sporting values are carried over into one's personal life.

Sports are a way of life for a vast majority of scholars at a school. To compete with the school colours on, no matter what level of competition, gives the individual a sense of belonging and a sense of pride knowing that they have contributed to the sporting life of the school. Learning to be humble in victory and graceful in defeat, camaraderie, pride in oneself and one's school, expressing different emotions, forming long lasting friendships, boosting one's self esteem and being exposed to different levels of competition are just a few of the values and skills that pupils are exposed to at school.

Developing a sense of team work, and the correct values of sportsmanship and decision making skills are critical elements of the sporting programme.

In conclusion sport will remain an important part of the school system for many years to come, as it is not only teaches pupils life skills but exposes them to a healthy life style.

It is compulsory for pupils to take part in sport and a wide choice is available. Exemption on medical or other grounds may be granted by the Headmaster.

While participation in sport is physically beneficial it is also important that enjoyment is a major feature. Each class, has regular Physical Education periods as part of the normal education programme. 		  Grayston News
