Our Sport and Movement

At our school, movement is woven into the very fabric of our educational approach. During school hours, our curriculum naturally integrates rhythm and motion, helping children embody wisdom through active learning, games and eurythmy. Our sports program builds upon this foundation, offering more traditional sporting activities. 

For Classes 4 to 7: Two one-hour sports lessons per week
Our sports program places a strong emphasis on developing specific skills in the sports focus of the term. These sessions include team practices, game strategies, and opportunities for inter-school competitions. Through this, learners can deepen their understanding of the sport while building teamwork and resilience.

Sports Attire
To ensure comfort and safety, learners must wear the designated school sports uniform on their sports days: a school T-shirt, shorts, school hat or cap, and trainers (tekkies) with socks. This attire promotes ease of movement and a sense of collective identity.

We warmly invite parents to get involved in this journey. Join us for inter-school events to cheer on the learners, volunteer to assist with logistics during sports days, or participate in discussions about how we can continue to improve and grow the program. Your involvement is invaluable in fostering a sense of community and encouraging a positive sporting culture.

True to Waldorf principles, we emphasize sportsmanship and skill development over competition. Our approach nurtures physical abilities, teamwork, respect and personal growth. Through these sporting activities, students have the opportunity to explore various sports in an environment that celebrates effort, cooperation and individual progress. We believe this balanced approach not only enhances physical well-being but also contributes to the holistic development of each child.
