Sports as part of our Curriculum

We lay a strong emphasis on sports and the physical development of our students. The sports curriculum is designed and planned to develop and enhance strength, speed, endurance, agility, control, balance and flexibility. Sports are a compulsory part of the school’s curriculum and an integral part of our girls' development.
