Saints students enjoy an extensive choice of co-curricular activities which caters for a wide range of talents and interests.

We offer our boys numerous opportunities to participate, persevere, progress and perform across several learning environments incorporating competitive, cultural, service and academic enrichment activities.

Each activity is designed to extend each student's understanding of himself: his capabilities, his perspective and his appreciation of the value of his commitment and contribution. These are underpinned by strong values which support success through involvement, enjoyment, growth, teamwork, leadership and social skills all fostered to enhance overall psychological development.
