2012 Junior School Summer Programme
JUNIOR SCHOOL CRICKET FIXTURES
At Chesterhouse, we place strong emphasis on sport ensuring each child is enrolled in a summer and winter sport. We take part in sports leagues and competitive matches across the peninsula.
In Key Stage One our sports offerings are skills based. We expose children to a variety of winter and summer sports. Through participation, children learn different skills and this allows them to make an informed choice when they are older. The emphasis in this Key Stage is on participation, enjoyment and in learning a variety of skills rather than competing.
Our Director of Sport ensures that we are part of the schools’ leagues across the Cape Peninsula and beyond and our children begin playing matches in their respective leagues from Year 3. We introduce our children to friendly matches from Year 1 and Year 2 so as to prepare them for competitive matches.
We employ external expert coaches who work alongside our staff to ensure the best sports tuition for our children.
Our children can choose from: cricket, tennis, hockey, netball, swimming and rugby (offered as a skills programme and not as a competitive sport).
Physical Education classes as part of our curriculum
At Chesterhouse we offer Physical Education lessons as part of our curriculum during the school day. Within our philosophy of Healthy Bodies create Healthy Minds, we strongly believe that children must be exposed to physical activity. Not only do they learn valuable game skills and how to manipulate and handle different tools and equipment, they also get exposure to our swimming pool and our tennis courts/ netball courts.
