Purpose and our identity

The purpose of this handbook is to set out the necessary guidelines and processes to make participation in sport at ACG School Jakarta successful for all involved.

At ACG School Jakarta we value sport and physical education as we see the connection and importance of physical activity and sport as an essential pre-requisite for academic success and overall wellbeing. We encourage students and teachers to participate in sport to their best ability and will provide opportunities and exposure to a range of physical activities for students of all ages and abilities to engage in. We view sport as a learning opportunity to support many holistic and lifelong skills that support our students to be well-rounded, physically skilled, commit to effort, be healthy, have a sense of independence and be socially capable.
