This week our children enjoyed a special assembly with a focus on the importance of sport and what it means to be a good sportsperson.  They listened to reflections and watched some role play about what it means to be a good sportsperson.  The children discussed the idea that excellence in sport is a talent and not all people are gifted with this quality.  Therefore, inclusion and understanding are very important when people are participating in either competitive or friendly sporting activities.  Sport promotes sound self-esteem and team spirit and helps children to become confident in lots of different ways.  At Stella Maris School children learn about the benefits of sport and how to promote these important qualities.
