Sport
Senior Phase sport at Penryn is offered to enable scholars to develop their character in the following way:
• The ability to work in a team,
• The will to win (as opposed to winning itself although this frequently happens as a result),
• The opportunity to be good at something thereby developing self esteem,
• Achieving a healthy body and mind.
All scholars in Grades 10 and 11 are required to do two sports per year, one of which has to be a winter team sport. Grade 12's are expected to play a winter team sport, and be fully committed to the sport programme where they have had a role to play in the years leading up to their matric year. Scholars are expected to practice and play in uniform and according to guidelines on commitment and communication.
