Colombo - School Report Question and Answers

Describe the physical education resources at the school. Is there a gym? A swimming pool? Are there playing fields or tennis courts available?

PHE is a component of the curricula through Grade 10 (MYP5). At that point, the facilities are available for the kids and there openings in their schedule that they can stay active. There are also after school sports and athletics for all ages. The pool is available for the kids on the weekends, too. Swimming is required for younger kids. The playing fields are well-maintained and offer a full soccer field or multiple smaller ones. The school just put in a new indoor course surface and there is also a newish outdoor court. Kids are required to wear hats to help protect them from the sun when playing outdoors. - Oct 2024


There is a gym, swimming pool, and field - and lots of great space to play. While OSC has some of the best facilities in the country, they are nice but not top-of-the-line when compared with some other schools my kids have attended. That said, the school regularly hosts SAISA (international) tournaments and the facilities are safe, accessible, and adequate. - Sep 2024
