Sporting Life

Penryn’s focus is to ensure that all our teams are competitive on the field and play to win and at the same time accepting a loss with dignity.

Our aim is to expose our scholars to an array of sporting options and to foster a curiosity for trying out new activities and instilling the desire to participate when and where ever possible. We believe that real excellence is a by-product of finding one’s passion and a feeling of inclusiveness. By virtue of this ethos, our scholars enjoy sport and naturally excel, within and beyond their sporting life.

Penryn is proud to be the only school in South Africa that offers falconry, as well as an array of sports that are well-suited to the adventure-based lifestyle of the Lowveld.
