Outline

Tradition is one of the defining characteristics of St Mary’s School and it is upheld strongly in our sporting achievements. More than 85% of the Senior School girls represent their school in athletics, swimming, diving, waterpolo, rowing, hockey, tennis, squash, netball and basketball teams. They enjoy notable successes in these sports and many girls are selected annually to both Provincial and National sports teams. The School also has an active Equestrian participation. Girls who do not play for a team still enjoy the experience of team sports and the thrill of the games.

The opportunity to play sport is seen as a vital part of the growth of all individuals. Sport and the experience of playing in a team are microcosms of society. Our coaches strive to teach our girls life lessons through the medium of sport. We pride ourselves on knowing every girl by name and we get to know them in a relaxed environment.

The St Mary’s sports coaches are passionate about their sport and have proven themselves in their field of expertise. As with anything, our success will not be measured by getting to the top but rather in our ability to remain there!
