This Sporting Life

Many students enjoy playing one or more sports, many also really like watching sports. Numerous ‘how to play’ books are available in the library, as well as a large number of novels for general reading or to support the English class ‘This Sporting Life’, where the theme is explored through a range of written, visual and aural texts.
