All pupils in Mother Teresa Mission Higher Secondary Schools participate in some or the other sports
activity. Our school prides itself on the wide range of sports accessible to the students in the Junior,
Middle and Senior School. Sports and physical and mental well-being are very important to today’s students
providing them with a positive foundation for their academic work. Sports can expose a student to
self-discipline, practice and preparation, teamwork, goal setting, success and failure, and resilience.
In Kindergarten and Junior School, students participate in physical education classes throughout the school
day to help improve their gross motor skills and coordination. They develop basic understanding of game
rules and strategy, while focusing on improving their own personal fitness, strength, coordination and
teamwork skills.
Middle School students participate in mandatory PT periods that emphasise teamwork, commitment, and
sportsmanship. The school offers various sports programs running throughout the whole school year. Middle
School teams participate in competitions regularly. As a part of the Middle School philosophy regarding
sports, competitive cooperation and gaining valuable sporting experience is the aim. All students are
welcomed to try out and participate and all athletes who are committed to the practices, contribute to
games.
Our Senior School Sports facilities are accessible to all and tailored to meet the aims of our pupils. The sports our senior students participate in depend on their interests and expertise develop over the years. We are proud to field competitive teams in all major team games, as well as badminton, athletics, tennis and boxing, although this is no more important than providing opportunities that will promote lifelong participation in sport. The role that competitive sport plays in developing character, confidence, resilience, teamwork and leadership is widely celebrated, as are the sporting achievements of our increasing number of pupils who compete at Inter-House, Inter-School, Regional and National level.
