Chesterhouse Sport Page

Since 2004 much has been done to develop a relevant and competitive sporting programme at Chesterhouse. With the input of staff, volunteer and professional coaches the level of skills, and the competitiveness of our teams, has improved substantially. Our sports teams play in a variety of Cape leagues. They have coped well with the demands of this competitive environment having notched up some impressive results for a small school. With the growth in numbers, the variety and depth of our sporting programme will continue to grow.

Team sport is compulsory and all our students are encouraged to participate in the games programme. At Chesterhouse, we believe that sport has much to do with developing confidence, self esteem and an ability to work with others. Sport is played for the benefit of our students and plays an important part of our curriculum.

Much has been achieved, in a relatively short space of time, to developing a higher profile for sport at Chesterhouse. Our sports programme is more than just students and coaches attending practices and matches, it is part of our overall desire to equip our students with the life skills necessary to deal with the pressures of today’s competitive world.
