School PE & Sport

Sport is such a powerful vehicle for developing our children's confidence and self-esteem. Our vision for P.E., competitive sports and extra-curricular activities, is to offer the widest range of opportunities to our young people in order to allow them to experience new and exciting experiences that help them to stay healthy physically, socially and emotionally.

Mr Boardman works closely with our class teachers to provide opportunities within P.E. lessons for our children to experience a broad and rich curriculum. In addition to this, we participate in a wide-range of competitions and festivals (such as Badminton, Athletics, Cross Country, Triathlons, Golf, New Age Kurling, Football, Tag Rugby, Boccia and Netball) that offer our children the chance to represent St. Michael's in community events, showing great pride in their school.
