Physical Education

Sport is part of the timetable, not an afterthought

The Department of Physical Education runs organised coaching through the year, not merely during tournament season. Trials are held in September, teams train in the morning and evening slots, and the college sends squads to inter-collegiate and university competitions in eight disciplines.

Facilities centre on the floodlit multi-sport ground and pavilion, supported by an air-conditioned gymnasium, an indoor games room and a matted wrestling hall. Kit, coaching and travel for representative teams are provided by the college.

  • Floodlit ground with spectator pavilion and six-lane track
  • Air-conditioned gymnasium with strength and cardio equipment
  • NIS-qualified coaching staff and a visiting physiotherapist
  • Sports scholarships and hostel priority for representative players
