The purpose we see for sport at Cornerstone Christian School is to encourage the development of sport as a Godly pursuit impacting:
- Children’s physical development, of their bodies that God has created.
- Children’s spiritual development, in doing their best for God.
- Children’s mental development, in learning to make right, instant decisions.
- Children’s spatial development, in being aware of things happening around them, to others and to themselves.
- Community building.
Please note that students will need to use their school email and password to access some of the information on the sports website.
Please view the CCS Sport Guidelines here: CCS Sport Guidelines
These guidelines are set out to establish the rationale for sport at CCS and state the expectations for participants involved in sport at CCS. It serves as a framework for promoting fair play, ethical behaviour, and respect among athletes, coaches and support staff, officials, and spectators.
