School culture and holistic development

Sports: forging relationships and voicing school culture
Central to the Crawford International ethos is the principle of “voice and choice,” which empowers students to explore their interests and talents in a supportive and nurturing environment. Through sports, students not only develop essential life skills such as teamwork, leadership, and resilience but also forge lasting friendships and memories that will accompany them long after they leave our school halls.
Inter-Crawford showcased the depth of talent and passion within our school community, demonstrating how each Crawford International school is united by a common dedication to fostering student well-being and success. From Kenya to Ruimsig, students embraced the opportunity to connect with peers from diverse backgrounds, learning from one another and celebrating their shared love for sports.
