Sport

Peponi School’s sports programme continues to evolve and maintain a top-tier position in Kenyan Association of International School Sport Organisation (KAISSO). Our recent history is marked by successful campaigns across a number of sports and levels of competition in hockey, tennis, swimming and cricket. We have continued to expand to a wide of range of sports during our games afternoons, which allows all of our pupils to explore personal interests and appreciate the bene ts of both individual and team pursuits.

Despite the challenges faced by our young sports people in the years gone by, we have witnessed a growing passion for sports amongst all as they have found and reignited their spark. All have exempli ed a willingness and inspiration to participate and compete week-on-week, and with particular reference to the development of our after school sports programme, which continues to a ord every pupil additional time in their pursuit of sporting excellence.

Our continuation of competitive xtures at the commencement of the Michaelmas term was a welcome opportunity, particularly for our senior year groups with the introduction of senior netball for the rst time in our history. Even so, our junior year groups have set the standard of excellence, with multiple competitive endeavours throughout multiple campaigns, proving to be a highly successful cohort of young athletes.

Michaelmas also welcomed the brand-new Talented Athlete Programme, where our top young athletes at Peponi are presented with new and varied challenges aimed to challenge and stretch their sporting ability.
