The King's School Robin Hills Sport

Sport

The King’s School Robin Hills is a Christian School that is committed to educate and equip the children of God’s people to make a difference. Our teachers are committed to help learners to be conformed to the image of Christ. Extra-mural activities and sport specifically offer another dimension to the development of children and contributes to relationship building between learners and teacher.

Sport not only offers learners the opportunity for healthy use of leisure time, but also teaches good sportsmanship skills, including the ability to support their team on and off the field.

Sport also contributes to the development of self-esteem of learners. Sport, as an extra-mural activity forms an integral part of TKSRH education process.

Team Selection

The following criteria will be applied with regard to selection of teams:

Practices must be attended;
The strongest core of the team will be kept for all matches, if they attend practices, weaker players will be swopped around;
We want to give everyone a fair opportunity, but we need to create a winning attitude in our sport, at the same time we want to reward players who are committed. If we were to swop stronger players for weaker players we would discourage our talented players. We do however want to build our weaker players and give them an opportunity to take part in a team sport. All this is in the interest of raising excellence in our sport.
