Physical Education
Our focus on the holistic development of students means we offer a wide variety of sports - at a host of locations.
When students are not assigned Health and Physical Education lessons on our rooftop basketball courts, or dedicated gym on the ground floor, they are playing sport at any number of city or inner-city parks and venues.
