TREVERTON PREP: GRADE 1-7

As significant adults in our children's lives, we allow them to try every sport. We need to encourage them to find the sport(s) they love, and to inspire and believe in them enough to give them the confidence to do just that little bit more. Winning and losing is momentary; the willingness to get up, dust oneself off and try again is life-long!

At Treverton, we train hard, pursue sportsmanship, strive for excellence, and do our best. Although the score line may not always reflect this — know that our focus is more on the long-term benefits. Learners engaged in team sport codes have improved communication skills (both verbal and non-verbal), an increase in confidence in their decision-making, and an improvement in adaptability, patience, persistence and taking of responsibility. Treverton offers team sports codes to all our learners; we encourage and expect every one of our learners to be involved in a team sport in both summer and winter as part of the all-round education of a child.

Unique Benefits of Sport at Treverton

There are several significant and unique benefits of sport played at Treverton due to the location and our easy access to the natural environment. Exposure to life sports such as trail running, orienteering, mountain biking and hiking will become life-long loves, where healthy family and work relationships can be fostered. These sports can develop healthy long-term habits that maintain a better work-life balance. The measures of success in these sports codes are determined by personal best achievements and position and by longevity, happiness and enjoyment. Often, increased self-confidence, trust, determination and resilience are character traits evident in learners playing sports.
