At St Mark’s students are encouraged to get involved in a range of sporting opportunities. We want students to enjoy getting active in physical pursuits that develop great skills, promote physical fitness and instill in students positive attitudes around teamwork and fair play. Having the grace to compete at high levels while displaying our school values through sportsmanship is key. We often coach students to achieve “personal bests”. That is, strive to be better than the last time. As part of the school leadership programme, Year 8 senior students take on the responsibility of being “Sports Leaders”. They serve the school community in their work to facilitate sporting opportunities for younger students.
