Sports Overview

Our school views sports as more than just activities – they are integral to our students’ holistic development. Rooted in our core values of respect, integrity, generosity of spirit, a growth mindset and agility, our sports programmes empower every girl to embrace teamwork, resilience, and the pursuit of excellence, while cultivating a lifelong passion for health and fitness, both on and off the field.

Sports and physical education at St Mary’s DSG offer avenues for personal expression, combining physical challenges with mental effort and emotional growth. Through sports, girls explore their physical capabilities, experience the joy of play and develop self-discipline, self-respect and respect for others. The sports programme emphasises personal and collective development, instilling values such as fair play, teamwork, cooperation and competitive skills.

Our mission is to provide inclusive opportunities where every girl can thrive, whether through mastering a skill, enjoying camaraderie or building the confidence to tackle life’s challenges. Beyond the field or court, these experiences prepare students for a lifetime of wellness and involvement, developing qualities that serve them well in all areas of life.

In a supportive environment, sports in both the Junior School and the Senior School truly celebrate character, community and personal growth.
