A comprehensive range of team sports reflects the importance of physical development as well as social and emotional learning.
By participating in team sports, students develop co-operation and responsibility.

The College organises transport for away games and hospitality complements the sporting competition at home.
All students in the Senior School must complete one season of ISA team sport per year.
