Sports

Students of the school have been provided with facilities to engage themselves in a variety of sports. Gateway College Negombo has recorded substantial gains in Basketball, Swimming, Tikowndo by winning a number of tournaments. Outstanding individual performances in Swimming and baseketball have paved the way for the popularity of both games resulting in continuous improvement of the squads. 

Our approach to sports is two fold; while we strongly encourage all students to take part in at least one sport, students with outstanding skills and talent are provided with coaching at the highest professional levels so that they can reach not only national but international levels too. The school’s morning exercise programme, Physical Education that is part of the school curriculum and the Beginner’s squads in many sports contribute towards making all our students healthy and balanced individuals.

The Department of Physical Education and Sports at Gateway consist of officials and trainers who have excelled in their area of activities at national or international level. Over the years, they have helped several of our students to win at both national and international levels. Every year, we have an annual colors nite with the distinguished patronage of key sports personalities to recognize the achievements of our stars in sports and to motivate them. Further, scholarships are awarded to students who receive recognition at national level.

While we continue to compete at inter international school level, the school is increasing its focus at performing at provincial, national and international levels. In the recent past our squads in athletics and cricket have taken part in several international competitions in countries such as India and Thailand. In the coming years, we intend investing in developing the in house infrastructure in sports so that we would not have to depend on external venues for training of our students.
