The purpose of sports at St. John’s International School, both within the curriculum as well as after school, is to promote the physical, mental, moral, and emotional wellbeing of the student-athlete. 

 


We encourage a winning spirit without losing sight of the ideals of athletic competition.

Students enjoy their sport in PE lessons, team training, through after school activities and during play and free time. The range of sports on offer is purposefully diverse to suit those who prefer individual sport and others who prefer to participate as part of a team.
 
We have an impressive of on-campus facilities including: 

  • 2 Indoor sports arenas
  • 1 Outdoor full-size Astro-turf football pitch
  • Baseball / Softball diamond
  • Climbing wall
  • 2 multi-use grass areas
  • 3 Tennis Courts

Swimming takes place at Waterloo swimming pool only a few minutes away where students thoroughly enjoy some water slides fun at the end of their swimming class.
