Overview
Athletics, the perfect way to start each year at Bishops, with a demonstration of skill, speed and endurance. Every year a handful of boys select athletics as a main sport, together with those who join for the benefit of either a good cardiovascular workout or as pre-season training for sports such as rugby and hockey. All the varying levels of fitness and technique are catered for by our coaches.

Bishops holds three meetings a year - Relay Sports and Sports Day (including Heats Week, which culminates in Sports Day) during the first term, and the recently-introduced Bishops One-Hour Meeting in the fourth term.
The school also takes part in the annual Triangular against Rondebosch and SACS a few weeks after Sports Day, hosting it every three years. Next year's Triangular will be at RBHS.
We participate in the inter-zonal meetings during the first term in order to qualify for the Western Province Championships, Western Cape Championships and the South African Championships.

Vision
Bishops is one of the leading schools in South Africa as far as sport is concerned and our reputation for sporting excellence is world-wide. In keeping with the ethos of our school, we believe that sport plays a vital role in the development of young men. In particular, we believe that participation in a team sport enhances the educational experience. To this end, it is a school rule that all boys must play an official school sport during both summer and winter terms.
