Sport at Kristin
The lessons learned by participation in sport, are invaluable for personal development. For all students we aim to foster a lifetime love of sport and healthy living through fun and learning. Whether a student is participating as an individual or as part of a team, sport provides them with a unique sense of place, where they begin life long friendships, learn to conquer their fears, and build strength of character.
Approximately 75% of our students participate in sport. Our highest participation sport is Football however many students are now choosing to explore their talents in less traditional codes, and with significant success.

Sports Plus Programme
A mentoring programme for elite athletes who are at Representative level and need to keep a good sport/academic balance:
Kristin have discovered that the challenge confronting many athletes is how to maintain the balance between sporting and academic commitments. This programme helps our athletes manage school work more effectively, without compromising their sporting objectives, and encourages them to succeed both on and off the sporting stage. Each student, along with their parents, Deans and Sports Plus staff, go through a structured planning process to ensure this balance is achieved.Click here to download the Sports Plus brochure.
