Sport
Langley Park is one of the few state schools that plays hockey, and is one of the top three hockey schools in the country, having competed in the last four national finals. In 2010 the under-16 team were crowned National Champions, the first comprehensive school to achieve this.
Langley teaches a wide range of sports, including rugby and hockey, from Year 7.
The new buildings for the school will provide private hockey facilities for the school that are currently being shared with Langley Park School for Girls. Other sports include cricket, tennis and rugby.
After the new school building is completed, the old buildings will be knocked down and will be replaced by a modern sports hall and facilities.

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)
“Americans living in Latin American countries are often more snobbish than the Latins themselves. The typical American has quite a bit of money by Latin American standards, and he rarely sees a countryman who doesn’t. An American businessman who would think nothing of being seen in a sport shirt on the streets of his home town will be shocked and offended at a suggestion that he appear in Rio de Janeiro, for instance, in anything but a coat and tie.”
—Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
“Drag racing is a sport of egos, and it’s all male egos.”
—Shirley “Cha Cha” Muldowney (b. 1940)
