Sport at His Church School
His Church School encourages all learners to participate in school sports as it not only promotes essential values such as teamwork, leadership, discipline, resilience, sportsmanship, physical fitness, time management, and respect for authority, but also instils Biblical values such as compassion, humility, integrity, and stewardship.
Integrating these values into sports activities fosters the holistic development of learners' character, guiding them to adopt Biblical values both on and off the sport field.
