Team games – Being strong together

All students at the Kurpfalz Boarding School are part of a team. They belong to either the Sharks, the Falcons, the Panthers, or the Grizzlies. Each team is led by a student captain and supported by a mentor from the management team.

At least once a month, the four teams compete against each other in game rounds. There are intense sporting competitions or exciting challenges that require skill and strategy. Of course, the students can also showcase their knowledge in classic trivia games. Throughout the entire school year, the teams collect points to win the team play cup. The regular matches and team events are highlights of boarding school life.

Developing common goals

As a team member, each individual must learn to integrate into their team, contribute, and fight for the points together with others. In the team, one must stand by each other, not be discouraged by setbacks, and pursue the set goals with perseverance. Motivation, ambition, and fairness are essential.

Our team mottos:

  • Sharks – “Shark attack!”
  • Falcons – “Watch out!”
  • Panthers – “Dangerous vibes!”
  • Grizzlies – “Wild by nature!”
