Sport

Sport is an opportunity for students to learn new skills in a fun and supportive environment. There are many reasons for children to be involved in sports; meeting new friends, getting exercise, improving physical skills, and having fun!

At Stanley Bay, sport provides students with valuable learning experiences that emphasize sportsmanship and fair play. Sport is an opportunity for children to develop an understanding that competing means not only striving to win but doing so in a way that models respect and integrity.
​
As part of the class programme children will have regular opportunities to participate in fitness and sports activities. We also offer a variety of sports within and beyond the school, this could mean representing the school at Interschool events or participating in an extracurricular sport.
