Sport
At the Preparatory School the emphasis in sport is on involving the
girls in a variety of sports on different levels. Sport is compulsory
from Grades 3 to 7 and the girls may choose to participate at a competitive
level (in a team) or on a social level. Grade 2s are permitted to take part
in Cross-country and Swimming.
Social sports practise one afternoon a week where skills are taught in an interesting and fun-filled way. Team sports practises take place twice a week; one afternoon is for practising and on the alternative afternoon the teams play league matches against other schools.
During the past few years Herschel has had many victories on the sports fields. This is due to the enthusiastic participation of the girls and their coaches. Winning is kept in perspective. The emphasis is on playing to the best of one's ability and on teamwork. Herschel strives not only to teach the girls the skills of a sport but also a love for the game.
