These are essential components of James Hope College for students and staff alike. These include sports, intellectual activities and cultural celebrations. These activities take place on weekends and in the evenings, after school hours on weekdays.
JHC facilities are designed to enable students gain an increasingly rich variety of experiences and develop not only their skills in performance, creativity and craftsmanship, but also to develop their critical and appreciative faculties as members of an audience.
On Saturdays, students engage in sports like lawn tennis, volleyball, badminton, table tennis, basketball, netball, football, hockey and athletics while a few hours on Sunday is reserved to train pro-student players, offering them an opportunity to join the official school team.

Residences
The College residences for students are designed to be a home away from home. This is important if students are to feel safe and develop to the best of their abilities. For this reason, our purpose-built residential facilities have the right balance of mod-cons and amenities to ensure homeliness, safety and pastoral care.
An experienced House Parent runs each residence. An Assistant House Parent assists the House Parent. Their roles are to provide a seamless link between the academic and pastoral spheres of each student’s life. They are in a position to monitor, guide and report on the progress of each student in their house.
Religious Services
Religious activities at James Hope College is interdenominational. As we cater to students’ Anglican, Pentecostal Christian, Islamic or Roman Catholic faiths.
Medical Care
The wellness of students is of paramount importance. At JHC, we have a well-equipped Medical Clinic, staffed with qualified school nurses to deal with medical situations in the event that a student requires medical attention. Students with more needs are transferred to the resident hospital in the area.
