Spirit of the Games Values

We ask all of the brilliant young people competing in the School Games to live by six crucial values - Determination, Honesty, Passion, Respect, Self Belief and Teamwork. 

These six values identify what school sport and competition should be about:

Determination

Keep going no matter what. Determination is about the journey you go on to push yourself and achieve your dreams. Have the mental strength and self discipline to overcome obstacles, commit to your goals and keep working everyday to become the very best you can be. Don't hold back!

Team work

Treating everyone equally, supporting each other and working together to have fun and achieve. Celebrate each other's success and be a positive team player.

Self-belief

You've got to believe to achieve. Have the self-belief and confidence to succeed and reach your personal best.

Honesty

Be honest with others and with yourself. Have the courage to do the right thing and what you know is right. Let the best person win, not the best cheat!

Passion

Giving it 100 per cent. Put your heart and soul into the game and never give up. Passion makes you enter the race and passion makes you finish it.

Respect

Show respect for the referee, for the opposition, for your team mates, for yourself and for the game. Accepting victory and defeat with grace, treating others politely and with understanding. Have respect every day, in every sport and for everyone.
