WOLVES ATHLETIC
THE STRENGTH OF THE WOLF IS IN THE PACK
At BWYA, we believe that a strong co-curricular sports programme, as part of the school’s overall curriculum, can help prepare students to both enjoy and be successful in life. BWYA sports teams stress hard work, leadership, camaraderie, sportsmanship and fair play while promoting and fostering a desire to learn about, and learn from, sports.
THE MIGHTY WOLFPACK PHILOSOPHY
The success of our programme is dependent upon the expertise and dedication of our coaching staff, and the spirit and network of cooperation that links our coaches with the BWYA administration, parent community, and the fine BWYA student-athletes themselves.
In summary, we believe that:
- Co-curricular sports are an integral part of BWYA’s overall curricular program.
- Every student should have the opportunity to become involved to some extent.
- Coaches and student-athletes should, at all levels, develop and exhibit accepted attitudes of good sportsmanship, good citizenship, and dedication.
- Our values, and the health and well-being of our program’s participants, are more important than the winning and losing of athletic contests.
