Sports

The notion of working together through sport and reinforcing the themes of teamwork, enthusiasm, humility, fair-mindedness and competitiveness is seen as a key strategy. In sport we emphasize that our games are played with other teams to promote the development of good relations amongst all schools and especially amongst the students.

Students are supported in striving for their personal best - the Magis - in all their endeavours.

The school’s sports policy is intended to:

  • assist each student’s growth through the discovery of their personal talents.
  • Encourage students to contribute to the school community
  • Facilitate staff/student relationship in an area other than the classroom

In this spirit the co-curriculum area of sport provides the school with opportunities to foster community involvement of students, parents and staff. Sport provides opportunities for students, parents and staff to experience a sense of belonging to a faith-filled Christian community.
