Sport

Buckridge Private School values the nurturing of learners in all aspects of developmental spheres in order to enhance  personal skills, talents and our impact on society. This we achieve through the effort and time we give to extra-mural activities and sport. 

This creates not only physically fit learners but also individuals  who are willing to persevere through difficult mental and physical challenges to achieve success.
