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:
““Justice” was done, and the President of the Immortals, in Æschylean phrase, had ended his sport with Tess. And the d’Urberville knights and dames slept on in their tombs unknowing. The two speechless gazers bent themselves down to the earth, as if in prayer, and remained thus a long time, absolutely motionless: the flag continued to wave silently. As soon as they had strength they arose, joined hands again, and went on.
The End”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“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)
“I wish glib and indiscriminate critics of industrialists had some conception of the problems that have to be met by factory management.... General condemnation of employers is a favorite indoor sport of the uninformed intelligentsia who assume the role of lance- bearers for labor.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
