Physical activity is an essential ingredient of a Sanawarain's life. The daily routine itself requires movement between dormitories, classes, dining hall, hobby and game locations spread over the 139 acre site at different levels.
All children start the day with half an hour of PT. During the early Spring Term, this takes the form of 'Hodson Run', 3-5 kms around the school site, culminating in the fiercely fought Hodson Finals in April. During the rest of the year the children practice their mass PT movements, preparing for the Inter - House and Tattoo for the Founder's Celebration in October.
NCC is compulsory in the senior classes and the School maintains a high standard of parade.
In addition to these compulsory activities, each child also has the option to pursue a wide range of sporting activities, both as team games and as individual pursuits, within the school time-table.
