We are the Bingham Lions and encourage all students and staff to be active.
Every student is involved in some type of sport at Bingham Academy; it is an important part of our well-rounded curriculum and extracurricular program. In school, all students are afforded a PE class opportunity, including higher level elective PE in High School in the form of IGCSE PE and Sport Science. PE classes focus on skill building and introduction to game play in many different sports.
In our extracurricular sports program we offer basketball, volleyball, and soccer for U12, U14, U16 and U19 age groups, and our teams compete in the local ISSAAA league. For all ages there is cross country and every student including our youngest KG1 students, participate in our annual track and field school competition called “Field Day”.
Sport has proven benefits including improved physical health, mental health and positive socialization. Besides these advantages, sport at Bingham brings us closer together. Whether teammates learning to collaborate, older students coaching younger ones, cheering each other on in our league games, or forging stronger relationships between students and coaches, we have seen sport bring us together over the years. We are the Lions…We are Bingham!
