Sports

At St George’s College North Sport and Physical Education are key elements in the holistic education of our students. We aim for each learner to develop a lifelong passion for sport and exercise and develop it a healthy habit in the future.

We have a student centred learning environment, safe and inclusive, where each students’ own individual needs and interests play a protagonistic role in the development of each child. Everything we do is built around the fundamentals of ‘play’.

The main objective of the Physical Education Department is to offer our students a wide range of physical activities that may enable them to increase their motor skills and stimulate team spirit in a respectful and friendly environment.

We offer a comprehensive sports programme which is coherent and consistent with each of our students needs, built upon a synergy of respected sports values and the IB student profile.

We facilitate motor skill experiences that generate significant learning opportunities which promote creativity, the ability to take decisions, critical thinking and resilience.

The organization of both internal sporting events, such as the rich and varied interhouse programme of competition, and inter school competitions on a local, national or international scale, are an important part of the learning process. In addition, we offer a comprehensive offer of educational camps where students live significant experiences in contact with nature.

The Physical Education Department organises, on a regular basis, both local and international sports tours that aim to enrich cultural exchanges in all aspects, as well as being a valuable sports experience. These trips take place every two years and the most visited destinations are South Africa, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Chile and Uruguay.
