Athletics
Glenlyon Norfolk identifies three girls sports and three boys sports as the ‘major’ sports of the School: Girls Field Hockey, Basketball, and Soccer; Boys Rugby, Basketball, and Soccer. In these 6 sports the school provides a fully supported program at all age levels, with the explicit goal of being competitive at the Provincial level.
Other sports are encouraged and supported, but affected by changes in the availability of coaches or the enthusiasm and ability of a particular group of students. The goal for these sports is to be competitive at local and Island level, though higher aspirations are encouraged.
Since 1986 (the year of amalgamation) the Gryphons have won Vancouver Island Championships and Independent School Championships 38 times in 14 different sports and Provincial Championships as follows: Boys Rugby (‘95), Tennis (’98, ’03), Climbing (’99), Girls Soccer (’03, ’05, '10), Boys Soccer (’05,'07,'09,'10,'11), Boys Basketball (’07), Golf (’07, ’08)
