St John's College

Sports at St John’s Pre-Preparatory are focused on fun, participation, and the development of fundamental movement skills. Boys are introduced to various activities designed to build physical confidence and coordination while learning the values of teamwork, fair play, and good sportsmanship.

Physical Education lessons and afternoon sports sessions emphasise gross motor development and age-appropriate strength and conditioning. Movement is taught through small-sided, game-based activities, encouraging exploration and skill development in a joyful, energetic environment.

The six main sports introduced are:

  • Athletics

  • Cricket

  • Hockey

  • Rugby

  • Soccer

  • Swimming

The focus is not only on physical development but also on building friendships, understanding teamwork, and learning how to win and lose with grace. Manners, etiquette, and respect are nurtured throughout, reinforcing our aim to develop well-rounded boys who are confident in themselves and considerate of others.

As we say at the Pre-Prep: It’s not how big you are, but how big you play.
