Exta-mural Activities

Games and other less physical activities provide a very large portion of the social side of school life. They healthily and profitably occupy a part of the learner’s leisure time and teach valuable lessons of give and take, called sportsmanship.  Indeed, sport may be regarded as a preparation for life.

For these reasons it is compulsory for all Grade 8 to 11 learners to take part in at least one summer and one winter team sport.  They are also encouraged to get involved in the cultural extramural programme.  Learners in Grade 12 are also required to participate in at least one extramural activity in each season. Participation is recognised for Life Orientation.

Learners who are heavily committed to formal and organised activities such as dancing or surf-lifesaving may request to be excused from further participation at School.  A certificate outlining the nature and extent of the commitment must please be supplied.

Learners who fail to honour their extramural commitments (e.g. practices or matches) without excusing themselves correctly will be given detention.

Subject to limitations imposed by time, numbers of interested learners and the availability of appropriate facilities and coaches, we offer a variety of games from which learners may choose.
