Athletic Programme<br />
High School<br />
The athletic department at <strong>ACS</strong> Hillingdon provides an exceptional educational experience<br />

individuals and as team players. <strong>ACS</strong> Hillingdon is a full member of the <strong>International</strong><br />
<strong>Schools</strong> Sports Tournaments (ISST). This organisation offers tournament competition at<br />
the end of each season. On the rare occasion where teams do not have sufficient<br />
numbers, a programme may be cancelled.<br />

Eligibility<br />
Any student may participate in athletics, but eligibility to play games and travel will be<br />
determined with regular consultation of faculty and the Principal, based on academic and<br />
behavioural considerations. <strong>Student</strong>s with two or more 2s and/or any grades of 1 will be<br />
placed on Academic Probation. <strong>Student</strong>s on academic or social probation may not be<br />
allowed to play on <strong>ACS</strong> Hillingdon sports teams.<br />
No student over 19 on September 1st during the school year to follow that date will be<br />
allowed to participate in ISST competitions.<br />
A student may participate only if he/she and parents have signed the ISST rules and<br />
guidelines.<br />
All <strong>ACS</strong> Hillingdon school rules must be observed at all times to maintain eligibility.<br />
Hosting Responsibility<br />
During the year there will be various sports trips to American/<strong>International</strong> <strong>Schools</strong><br />
abroad. On these trips students will be housed with the families from the host school, and<br />
in return <strong>ACS</strong> Hillingdon students are expected to house visiting athletes. Please note that<br />
High School students who participate in sports are required to house visiting athletes each<br />
season that they are on a team.<br />
