Athletics
Contrary to the common belief that athletics is often associated solely with individual events, this perception does not hold to be true at Bishop’s College. Our athletics team emphasizes the significance of collective effort and team building. We strongly believe that the strength of the team lies in the unique abilities and contributions of each team member, while simultaneously empowering individuals to reach their full potential.
Our dedicated coaches are committed to pushing the limits of every athlete, motivating them to unlock their inherent capabilities. To achieve this, we have athletes from grade 3 onwards that train diligently at the school grounds. Through hard training, we strive to strengthen our team and achieve remarkable results.
We take immense pride in organizing the Annual Inter-House Senior Athletics meet where students compete in a spirited showcase of skill and teamwork. Beyond internal competitions, our athletes proudly represent Bishop’s College at Interschool meets throughout the year, including Divisional & Zonal Meets, Provincial Meets, All Island Meets & Junior National Championships.
