Sports Update 30 March 2023

What a term it has been! We have had some incredible results and achievements from the various sporting codes this term. The growth in numbers for our Social Sports were beyond our initial programme and we had to split classes and even turn students away to a different sport, because the classes were just too full! We are super excited to see how the Winter Sport Programme grows. 

Thank you to all the coaches and teachers-in-charge for your time and effort this term, and thank you to the Sports Department for pushing through the most demanding and strenuous term of the year. Well done.
