Sport

The ÐÔÊӽ紫ý Sport program offers students a wide range of sports to choose from, combined with carnivals, sports days and inter-House competitions.

Sport is an integral part of the holistic education at The ÐÔÊӽ紫ý School. The reasons for playing sport in a school are many and varied. Sport is only one avenue whereby a student can gain a range of skills. The expectation that boys put commitment to the School first derives from the clear value to their personal and educational growth of building collegiality among the boys.

Students are encouraged to participate at a level that they are comfortable with, whilst challenging their fitness and building their skills. Sportsmanship and fair play are paramount. ÐÔÊӽ紫ý is regularly represented and recognised at state, national and international levels across various sports.
