Sports

All of Scholastica's campuses have outdoor space for sports. In the Senior Section Uttara and Mirpur campuses, there are outdoor hard courts on which students can play basketball, volleyball, handball and football. The two STM Halls in the two campuses are also used for sports during PE class and after-school.

The Mirpur campus has an outdoor swimming pool which is available to older students from any campus to learn how to swim (as a beginner) and to practice swimming as well. Students are taught various strokes and are given opportunities to improve their fitness. A qualified swimming instructor is in charge of conducting all swimming classes.

In addition, students in some campuses are able to access a nearby field for their physical education activities.

To avail of its services, students are required to register with STS by filling out a Bus Admission form, which is available at the Campus Front Office, Central Collection Booth and Central Student Records Department.

Stringent safety measures are in place to ensure students are transported to and from school comfortably and securely.
