Sport

Growth through Participation

The concepts of teamwork, fitness, personal discipline, companionship and competition are all essential ingredients for the world of tomorrow and, as such, they are fostered at St Paul’s through participation in sport.

Sport is an essential part of the all-round development of students at St Paul’s. The physical activity involved in participating in sport makes a positive contribution to the health of indi-viduals, helps to develop confidence through improvement and achievement, and teaches important group-dynamic skills through teamwork. Involvement in sport has the potential to help individuals succeed within an environment of fair play. The challenge and enjoyment involved in training and competing make a significant contribution to the overall pride our students have in both the School and their Houses.

With almost all of our activities coached or managed by academic staff we believe that co-curricular interaction helps foster positive relationships, which have significant benefits in our classrooms.

The School also recognises the many potential rewarding career opportunities available to professional athletes, coaches, sports administrators and allied vocations.
St Paul’s is proud to have among its alumni many successful national and international sportsmen and women playing and/or coaching, many of whom return to the School to share their experiences and expertise.

Through the efforts of a highly committed staff we offer a wide range of challenging activities.

❝Students are encouraged and mentored to experience individual success and the power of teamwork.❞
