Beyond promoting physical fitness, school athletics teach life skills like discipline, teamwork, and resilience. A greater variety of sports creates more opportunities for students to develop these skills while building peer connections and a sense of belonging. While competitive sports encourage student-athletes to strive for excellence, recreational sports foster inclusion, exploration, and enjoyment.

DISTINCT EXTRACURRICULAR FEATURES
What makes Stanstead College’s extracurriculars distinct: established strengths and current initiatives
School prefects serve as liaisons between students and the faculty and administration and are expected to model appropriate behaviour and represent the school properly at all times. It is a great honour to be selected and an outstanding opportunity to develop responsibility and leadership skills.
Students who take part in Community Service visit residents in nearby seniors' homes, walk the dogs at an animal shelter and work with young children at local after-school programs. It is a way to help the community and discover the two-way benefits of helping others.
Stanstead College's structured athletics program encourages teamwork, fair play, confidence, perseverance and, above all, health. Each term, students participate in one of many athletic options and have opportunities to compete against other schools and in tournaments. Regular practices take place after school four weekdays out of five, promoting skills development and physical fitness.
