Sport and Extra-curricular

Sport is a constantly growing part of life at St James. Students have the opportunity to develop a variety of sports skills during weekly Physical Education lessons and through our extra-mural programmes.

Sports Programs

The current range of sports we offer includes: athletics, hockey, soccer, cricket, netball, volleyball and swimming.

While we don’t have our own sporting facilities, we partner with community resources to ensure students have access to prime venues and amenities. Using St James transport, we hold swimming lessons at Sutton Park Swimming Pool and host other activities at DLI Fields, Currie’s Fountain, and Hoy Park.

Sporting Events

Our school participates in many internal and external sporting events. This includes the Durban Interschools Athletics and our annual St James Interhouse Athletics Day.

After School Chess

Our chess team is a well-established extracurricular programme, led by experienced coaches. Throughout the year, students have the opportunity to challenge themselves in internal and external chess tournaments.

School Houses

When joining the St James family, each child is welcomed into one of our two sports houses, fostering camaraderie and friendly competition.
