Sports at JIS
At JIS, we prioritise students’ health and fitness, encouraging an active lifestyle through sport and outdoor activities. Physical education is delivered by Sports International Services Ltd., providing a comprehensive programme for all students.
The P.E. curriculum is integrated into the PYP curriculum as much as possible. Students learn to explore their own skills, capabilities and understandings through sport, adventure based activities and also outdoor explorations in the local forest (Tai Po Kau country park) located opposite to the school. Students are encouraged to aim high and achieve a great deal through physical activity.
Each week, students participate in one swimming lesson, one gymnasium-based lesson, and one outdoor P.E. lesson.
In addition to the core programme, an extensive extracurricular schedule is available to students in both the international and Japanese sections of the school. This includes a wide range of sporting activities, allowing students to further explore their interests and develop their skills. The school may be small but we enjoy considerable success in a range of team and individual events around Hong Kong. Some of our swimmers are chosen to represent at district level and our teams have done well in a variety of sports.
JIS students actively participate in various competitions and fun events throughout Hong Kong during the school year, fostering teamwork, sportsmanship, and a lifelong appreciation for physical activity.
