“It is incredible to see our scholars pushing their limits and creating bonds; the spirit of determination and resilience is thrilling and beautiful to witness.

“Three sporting codes – hockey, netball, and soccer –are diverse and welcoming so our scholars can find their potential sport and, of course, maintain learners’ physical well-being, which is vital and instils discipline, perseverance, and teamwork.”
