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 view the CCS Sport Guidelines below.
These guidelines outline the rationale for sport at CCS and set clear expectations for all participants. They provide a framework for promoting fair play, ethical behaviour, and respect among athletes, coaches, support staff, officials, and spectators.
