Sport
Middle 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 &Mac246; 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 8 and 9 are required to do two sports per year, one of which has to be a winter team sport. Scholars are expected to practice and play in uniform and according to guidelines on committment and communication.
