They get to play sports fixtures against other schools which is a great experience and teaches the boys good sportsmanship and they know they are ambassadors for the school which demands their best behaviour and manners at all times. The school prides itself on having a family-like feel and it does genuinely care for each boy which in turn teaches the boys respect for each other.
