Thanks to the Sports Development Foundation and other funders, Christel House students will have every opportunity to build their character through sport — on the court. The construction of a J$9M multi-purpose court, designed for netball, basketball, volleyball and pickleball – yes, pickleball – is where they will hone their skills and put their character to the test.

The court has already been put to good use: an exhibition match following the handover ceremony between CHJ teachers and the Sunshine Girls, saw our teachers lose 4-1 to Jamaica’s National Netball Team.

In addition, PE teacher, Colleen Richards has already taught volleyball basics to several classes. She also hosted a netball training camp in July in anticipation of the September season.
