At St. John’s Preparatory School,

our sports programs are more than just about physical performance and competition.

We believe in building a strong, inclusive sports culture that reflects the values we hold dear—respect, empathy, and integrity. Through sport, we nurture not only the body but also the mind and character, ensuring that every athlete leaves the field as a better person.

Our Core Values

Respect

Respect is the foundation of everything we do. Whether it’s in how we interact with teammates, coaches, or opponents, we believe that respect fosters a healthy and positive environment. Every individual’s contribution is valued, and every effort is recognized. Respect is the key to good sportsmanship, ensuring that the spirit of the game is upheld at all times.

Empathy

We promote empathy as an essential aspect of teamwork and sportsmanship. Understanding and supporting each other, on and off the field, makes us stronger. Empathy allows our athletes to see things from the perspectives of others, ensuring a culture of inclusiveness and mutual support. It’s through empathy that we build a true sense of community in our sports programs.

Integrity

Integrity is the backbone of fair play. We hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards of honesty and fairness, both in victory and defeat. Our athletes are encouraged to compete with dignity, always honouring the rules of the game and demonstrating ethical behaviour. At St. John’s Preparatory School, winning with integrity is just as important as the outcome itself.

The St. John’s Way

By focusing on these values, our sports programs offer more than just competitive training—they offer life lessons. We aim to develop well-rounded individuals who succeed not only in sports but also in life. At St. John’s Preparatory School, sports are a pathway to personal growth, leadership, and lifelong friendships, all guided by the values of respect, empathy, and integrity. We do things the St. John’s way!
