We firmly believe that sport plays a key role in the education process in the life of a child.
We therefore strive to involve all our children in the various sporting activities that we offer, as we are of the opinion that a healthy body is vital in the forming of a healthy mind. Our children take part in a wide range of sporting activities. Among others, we offer rugby, hockey, swimming, athletics, cricket, netball, tennis, soccer and many more. We have just started a hand ball team and, with a coach that is a formal South African hand ball player, we are hoping to have much success with this exciting new venture As we are situated in the foothills of the southern Drakensberg, we also use our surroundings to our advantage when it comes to sporting activities. Our children take part in numerous adventure sports such as canoeing, cycling, hiking and the like. Equestrian sports are very popular at St Patrick’s. Our children are involved in show jumping, dressage and Polo Crosse. One of our boys has just been selected to represent the South African polo Crosse team in Australia next year. We are incredibly proud of all our sports stars and those who achieve a high degree of sporting excellence, but we simply also encourage our learners to enjoy their sporting activities and so cultivate a healthy lifestyle |
