SPORTING ACTIVITIES

Evidence suggests that youngsters benefit most from their school years when they involve themselves in the activities of the school. Organised sport plays an extremely important role in this regard. For this reason we expect our pupils to take part in at least one winter and one summer sport, unless a medical condition precludes participation. Sport at Graeme is conducted under the supervision of the teaching staff or carefully selected outsiders. We expect our pupils to participate in accordance with the highest standards of sportsmanship in the tradition built up over many years.

Sports offered at present include:

• athletics
• cricket
• cross-country
• tennis
• squash
• swimming
• waterpolo
• hockey
• rugby
• weight-training

The staff are heavily committed to the coaching and administration of sport. The school also runs a sport-for-life programme as part of its physical education package with the boys being introduced to volleyball, badminton, basketball and soccer, amongst other sports.
