With an abundance of sporting opportunities, nearly all of our students choose to play one or more sports at Pembroke. Our focus is nurturing an inclusive and supportive sporting culture that leads to personal best performances and important and lasting benefits to mental and physical health. Our Sports Program allows individuals to experiment with new sports while encouraging seasoned competitors to improve skills and achieve at higher levels.
We are immensely proud of our students and old scholars who perform at elite levels, representing both their state and country in a wide variety of sporting disciplines.
Boys and girls are equally involved in sport at Pembroke, and the School supports gender equity in the range of sporting activities available.
Teaching staff are heavily involved in Pembroke sports as coaches or managers, supported by highly accredited head coaches. The Heads of Sport facilitate the overall management of our Sports Program.
Our Athlete Development Program provides an opportunity for Middle School student athletes to hone their skills within the curriculum program, in addition to their chosen co-curricular activities and participation in elite level sports beyond the School.
