Sports & Extra Curricular Activities

We offer a wide range of extracurricular activities, as we believe this enables all students to discover and pursue interests beyond the classroom. In term one the sports are: swimming, basketball, cricket and volleyball. In term two: football, netball and cross-country. In term three: hockey, rugby and athletics (in which we have been Midlands Champions in nine of the last ten years).

In addition to this we offer many other activities such as chess, community service, orchestra, choir, golf, scholar’s cup, debating and JETS(Junior Engineers, Technicians and Scientists). There are also supervised prep sessions each afternoon.

Our students regularly represent the school in national competitions together with Scholar’s Cup (most recently in Malaysia); National Schools Quiz (South Africa); CFO competition (South Africa); and  Adventure Race (held regionally).

Competitive activities are encouraged wherever possible, both in school (interhouse competition), and in competition with partner schools.  

Baobab College is proud to deliver the Duke of Edinburgh's International Youth Award, with Year 10 students taking part each year in bronze award activities which include the adventurous journey, skills, physical activity and communty service.
