A Highlight of the School Year

Our annual Sports Tours are a highlight of the school year taking our students from the Birkenhead School sports field to locations such as South Africa, Canada and Sri Lanka.

During the tours the students play netball, hockey, football and netball matches against local schools and visit local charities and attractions to broaden outlooks and spark passions and interests.

Sri Lanka Cricket Tour

In July 2024 a group of students travelled to Sri Lanka for the School’s Cricket Tour. The group travelled around the island combining cricket matches with seeing the many highlights that Sri Lanka has to offer.

South Africa Netball & Hockey Tour

The sports tour saw students spend 2 weeks in South Africa in July 2023 taking part in netball, hockey, football and netball matches. The students visited Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town where they took in the local culture as well as visits to a water park, Door of Hope charity and an elephant sanctuary and the highlight of watching the Netball World Cup.
