Senior School

The sporting programme develops further in the Senior School and, as pupils gain experience, more choice becomes available for the two, weekly, 90 minute games afternoons. The major sports remain the same, with the inclusion of basketball for the boys. In addition to this, pupils have access to a health and fitness option, which caters for anyone wishing to improve physical endurance, in place of the sport specific sessions. We are proud to offer a valuable alternative that continues to promote the benefits of exercise and cultivate characteristics such as teamwork and perseverance. Most importantly, pupils are equipped with the necessary tools to maintain an adequate level of cardiorespiratory fitness, which is a vital indicator of overall health.

Competitive sport in the Senior School progresses and intensifies, as aspirational players and performance squads pursue excellence within our major sports. A programme of extra physical, technical and tactical based sessions become available to push elite performers and ensure that our top teams are set amongst the most revered schools in South East Asia. This effective formula has been the driving force behind a string of successes, and, subsequently, has built an impressive reputation of sporting excellence.

Senior Sports Overview

Performance sports – The Performance squads will compete in our major sports in tournaments around South East Asia and will have specific sessions designated to them weekly.

Active sports – We aim to better support the diversity at the College with the choices available each Season, whilst still remaining true to our British heritage as a College sports programme.  Whilst fixtures will still be important in active sports, the central goal will be for every pupil to understand and enjoy the health benefits associated with being active on a daily basis.

Prep School

In the Prep School we are looking to develop strong athletes who are ready for a life-long love of sport. We aim to enthuse them through fun and games while instilling FUNdamental basic movements. From here we give the children opportunities to try different activities and they learn the key skills to perform. As they continue through the school we develop opportunities to compete against other schools and clubs both at home and abroad in a broad range of sports and games. Below are phases that we work through although the pupils will develop through these at their own pace. Our key sports are SWIMMING, Football, Rugby, Touch, Hockey, Cricket and Athletics with many development sports such as Basketball, Badminton, Cross Country and Climbing.

Phase 1 (Activate)

In Pre School to Year 2, we hope to instil an enjoyment of physical movement and develop the pupils physical literacy. Pupils are to progress through the fundamental skills in the table below through play and structured learning activities that are FUN.

Phase 2 (Discovery)

In Year 3 and 4 we hope to use their developed fundamental movement skills to play competitive sports. Initially, identifying specific skills, we will incorporate them into game play to develop game awareness and an understanding of sportsmanship.

Phase 3 (Progression)

In Years 5 and 6 we hope to focus on honing skills and developing match play. We continue to develop the basics with agility, balance and coordination at the heart of everything we do. This progresses into competitive fixtures and opportunities to try different sports.

Phase 4 (Train to compete)

In Year 7 and 8 the children will continue to development their movement skills and understand more about how their body works. Sportsmanship will be continued with the added principles of leadership. Competition in selected sports will be greater and excellence pushed in all disciplines.
