Golf

Golf, a noble sport is incorporated in the Physical Education Classes. Mrs. Muriel Thomson, PGA Professional from the Portlethen Golf Club, Aberdeen, has volunteered to teach the children this noble sport and has also very generously gifted a number of golf kits to the school.

She has also arranged for coaches from the IGC to train the children. An added advantage is that the school is located opposite a golf course that belongs to the army and the authorities have granted permission for the students to make use of it. Students were taken class-wise and taught the basic strokes in golf. The students with the aptitude for golfing were identified and selected for further training in the following years.

While learning Golf, children also learn calculation and precision. They also learn that sports are common for all and no sport is meant only for one particular class or group of the society.

 

 
   
Cricket  
Cricket has been an established team sport for hundreds of years and is thought to be the second most popular sport in the world. More than 100 countries are affiliated to the International Cricket Council, cricket's international governing body. The sport's modern form originated in England, and is most popular in the present and former members of the Commonwealth including India.

Here at Montfort the sport is followed with a passion among the children. By participating in this team sport, students develop the concept of community. The sport also promotes individual mental, social, physical and spiritual growth and development. They understand that the concepts of team spirit and sportsmanship cannot be over-valued. It is through these ideals that meaningful participation in community becomes possible for a child.

We also have teams that are coached in Football, Volleyball, Badminton, Basketball, Rugby, Athletics, etc.
