Extra-mural activities
Michael Mount offers a wide range of extra-mural activities, ranging from art and drama, to basketball, swimming, volleyball, and more. Our High School students also have the opportunity to join the Student Representative Council and can choose to participate in debating and Model UN conferences. Because there is no overwhelming pressure on our students to excel in a certain field, they are able to naturally gravitate to that which interests them, making them far more content and successful in their choices.
Sports
The variety of after-school sports offered by Michael Mount provides the students a healthy balance from their academics. The progression of each sport matches the child’s physical abilities and emotional needs at each age.
In the spirit of inclusion that is characteristic of a Waldorf education, any student wanting to participate is given an opportunity to practise, play, and excel. In this way, Michael Mount forms confident, effective teams who represent their school with pride – precisely because they are steeped in a spirit of support, inclusion, and teamwork.
