 | Athletics promotes sportsmanship and team-building skills that benefit our student-athletes the rest of their lives. By providing opportunities for students to develop time management skills, self-discipline, and commitment, athletics complements the School's academic programme.
St. John's athletics teams compete in the Greater Vancouver Independent Schools Athletic Association (GVISAA), which is recognized by BC School Sports, the Independent Schools Association (ISA), the Independent Schools Elementary Association (ISEA), the Canadian Association of Independent Schools (CAIS) and provincially at the Single A level. St. John's teams compete at the single A level and participate in tournaments both locally and nationally. |
"I’m mostly in sports clubs like, basketball, track and field and soccer and running club. I really like to get physically active. I like these clubs and teams because they really bring friendship and teamwork all together. It brings us closer to our friends and our teachers and we just all have a good time."
