Sport at Sunnybrae

Sport can provide a sense of belonging to a group and a community. Team sports encourage and develop leadership skills, cooperation, commitment and an ability to work with others to achieve a goal. Respecting the Fair Play Code  is always a critical element of our sports programme.

This year we have teams representing Sunnybrae in netball, hockey, basketball, touch and flipperball. All sports except flippaball are played in our Sunnybrae Sport uniform.  Check out the latest sport newsletter here.
