Sport is central to the Marist College Ashgrove curriculum not just because boys enjoy them, but because they embody many qualities in which the College believes.
Learning to win and lose, to lead and be led, to push oneself to and perhaps beyond one’s limits, to think as part of a team, to know when to strive for more and when to acknowledge defeat; these are all part of learning to be human. Consequently, Marist College Ashgrove aims to give every boy the chance to benefit from learning through sport by playing and being taught the sport of his choice at the level appropriate to his abilities and interest.
Marist College Ashgrove offers a variety of sports and sporting competitions throughout the year. All students participate in a summer sport and a winter sport of their choice and benefit from working with the College’s experienced coaches as well as a comprehensive strength and conditioning program.
