Building Character Through Sport
As the Athletic Director of our school, I am driven by a powerful vision that goes beyond physical fitness and athletic skills. I believe in the transformative power of sport to shape character, mould student-athletes into well-rounded individuals. Integrity is at the heart of my approach. Values of fair play, honesty, and ethical conduct is something that I strive to instil in our student-athletes, both on and off the field of play. By understanding the importance of integrity, we cultivate individuals who grasp the essence of sportsmanship, carrying this trait with them beyond graduation and into their future life experiences.
Resilience is another key pillar in Sports, and in our athletic program. I encourage our student-athletes to embrace challenges, learn from failures, lose with grace and approach victories with humility and respect. Through perseverance and determination, students develop the mental fortitude to overcome obstacles, and emerge stronger and more resilient.
Volleyball has always been a passion of mine as both a player and coach. This type of team sport offers invaluable opportunities to cultivate teamwork and collaboration. As coaches we emphasise the significance of collective effort, cooperation, and effective communication among our players. By working together towards a common goal, our student-athletes learn to appreciate the strengths and contributions of each team member, fostering a spirit of camaraderie and unity that extends beyond the court, into other facets of their lives.
I believe in promoting a culture of respect, valuing diversity and honouring sportsmanship, honouring sportsmanship, and treating others with dignity. Through sport, student-athletes learn to appreciate and embrace differences, fostering a community that celebrates inclusivity and mutual respect.
Through our commitment to integrity, resilience, teamwork and respect, our student-athletes, in all of the different sports, are leaving their mark. I am proud of our team’s recent achievement, including championship victories in PRC, ACAMIS and SCISAC Basketball, Football and Volleyball tournaments. Together, coaches and athletes can embark on a journey of character development through the incredible power of sport!
