Nurturing healthy bodies and minds

OUR OUTSTANDING
SPORTS PROGRAMS

Sport is an integral part of our Australian education. At AISM, we believe that healthy bodies will nurture healthy minds. All students at our school participate in sport at some level. We want to provide opportunities for students to enjoy and appreciate the benefits of physical activity, competition and sportsmanship.

Our sports programs are about commitment, teamwork and enjoyment at all levels of competition. All our coaches have extensive knowledge and passion for their sport. Some Co-Curricular Activities are offered by well-known sports coaches in Malaysia and others are offered by our own in-house specialist sports teachers.

Leadership and sport

Participating in sports helps our students practise and learn leadership and teamwork skills. Students are encouraged to assist the Physical and Sport Education department in the running of school carnivals, speaking at formal assemblies and manage lunchtime games for house points. The sport leaders have an important role to play in developing house spirit.
