Sport
The school has many sports facilities. It has two large gyms, three tennis courts that double up as all weather playing spaces for sports such as netball. It also boasts an all weather astro-turf for the school football and hockey teams, which see much success in regional and national competition. Rugby is played on the main school playing field, along with athletics in the summer, and on the other two rugby pitches adjacent to Tenby junior school. The rugby team has been on several tours to Canada and the hockey team has also been on tour to Florida. Skiing trips also are frequently organised by the school.

Famous quotes containing the word sport:
“Drag racing is a sport of egos, and it’s all male egos.”
—Shirley “Cha Cha” Muldowney (b. 1940)
“For generations, a wide range of shooting in Northern Ireland has provided all sections of the population with a pastime which ... has occupied a great deal of leisure time. Unlike many other countries, the outstanding characteristic of the sport has been that it was not confined to any one class.”
—Northern Irish Tourist Board. quoted in New Statesman (London, Aug. 29, 1969)
“Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence: in other words it is war minus the shooting.
”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
