Home St Peter's School Sport Sport, Sporting Activities

Sport is an integral part of the school’s ‘Body, Mind and Spirit’ education philosophy. Physical activity elevates the brain function to a higher level and as such we designate sport as an academic subject.

At St Peter’s, we offer every opportunity for student participation in competitive sporting activities at all ability levels. Students are required to participate in at least one chosen summer and winter sport. We believe that being involved in sport encourages the competitive spirit and emphasises the importance of teamwork. Sport should also be fun and entered into within a spirit of fair play.

Through our comprehensive sports programme, with each sport staffed by qualified teachers, specialist coaches and managers, St Peter’s caters to athletes who want to challenge their limits and strive for greater success at training and during competition.

Each year we field very competitive teams in core sports such as rugby, netball, tennis, cricket, soccer and hockey. Some students are also involved in other more specialised and individual sports such as squash, clay shooting, waterskiing, kite-surfing and gliding.

A number of popular sports have been elevated to Academy status, with St Peter's providing highly specialised facilities, equipment and coaching. Academy sports include Golf, Tennis, Swimming, Equestrian and Rowing

Wherever possible, we offer team sports for both boys and girls and across the entire age range (11 years to 18 years).
 
Teams train after school, in most cases two afternoons per week. Transport to all away games is organised by the School. The support and help of parents is welcomed and encouraged across all the codes.
