Sports At HGS
Our Approach
At Habib Girls’ School, we strongly believe in the value of sports and physical education. Participating in team sports gives our students a wide range of key 21st century skills, including teamwork, resilience, leadership, and problem-solving skills—all valuable and necessary skills for life. Physical education is unique in its ability to teach students several pro-social skills and at HGS, we urge our students to do their best—not only at the national sports level, but at the international level too!

Sports Offered at HGS
We place great value in physical activity and provide our students with an array of sports to participate in
Hockey
Hockey was introduced a few years back with the intention of highlighting the national game of Pakistan as a regular part of the sports program of the school. Each year through inter and intra school competitions, Habib Girls’ School is playing its due role in increasing the interest in the game at the secondary school level.
Volleyball
HGS has a wonderful track record in Netball with the team remaining unbeaten champions for more than 10 years. A popular sport in the school, the players go through strenuous trials to make it to the school team.
Throwball
Throw ball has been one of the main games to be played in school. Since 2000, the team has been winning various Inter school tournaments, with players from HGS being selected for the Provincial and National teams. The school has teams at 3 levels for Throw ball: Under 11, Under 16 and Under 19.
Netball
The school is represented by the Under 16 and Under 19 for Netball. Since the 90s, the school team has won laurels and since the inception of the High school, both teams have been in the forefront, winning medals.
Table Tennis
Table tennis is a popular international sport which garners a lot of interest among both male and female players. At HGS, students are encouraged to play from a very young age with the intention of making it to the school teams. The senior and junior teams have been performing amazingly under a highly professional coach.
Taekwondo
It was initially started as part of the extra-curricular activity and now has acquired a lot of interest both at the junior and senior levels. Students of ages 9 to 15 are learn the art of self-defence under professional trainers and display their skills at major sports events of the school.
Head Teacher’s Welcome Message
“
Sports has always been an integral part of the school year at Habib Girls’ School. Preparing and training for the Inter-house and Inter-school sports has developed a spirit of camaraderie and healthy competition among the students. The Sports Captain with her team of House Captains, leads from the front and it’s not just as a player but also as an organizer of the various sports events throughout the year.
I am very proud of the legacy of achievements in the field of sports by Habibians, some of whom have gone on to represent Pakistan in the international arena. We, the sports faculty, vouch to continue to provide these wonderful opportunities to our students who have never let us down. They create a beautiful balance between academics and sports practices and come out as winners in both. Long live Habib.
