Sports Forum (College)

A pillar of Mount Kelly’s five-year strategy is to embed in young people a life-long appreciation of participation, performance, health and wellbeing through sporting activity. Our Sport Forums look at how Mount Kelly develops individual and team success and how we measure this; not by statistics and results, but by the quality of the play, pleasure derived from competing, friendship, sense of fulfilment, team spirit and lifetime love for sport. With Bobby Skelton, Assistant Head Co-Curricular and Director of Sport, and Colin Broughton, Head of Sport (Prep).

Katy Kelly, Head of Physical Education and Director of Outdoor Education provides parents with an understanding of the ethos and strategies of our teaching, and the power of outdoor education on the learning journey.
