Sports
Sport holds an important place at Florimont and teaches students to discover and develop their personal strengths through competition and teamwork, and plays a part in ensuring an all-round education.
We have high academic expectations of all our students, and our tutorial support programs empower them to achieve their true potential – both on the field and in the classroom.
We encourage our students to develop a sporting culture and motivate them to participate in sporting and physical activities on a daily basis in class or through extra-curricular activities.
Our sport programs allow students, throughout their formative years at the Institute, to familiarize themselves with a full range of sporting activities such as athletics, gymnastics, team sports, climbing, orienteering races, water sports, combat sports and fencing.
