The blue side of Praga. Sapphire is the community that stands for strategy and composure: it competes, celebrates and serves throughout the school year alongside classmates, teachers and families.
Communities
Our colours
Blue identifies Sapphire in every competition, flashmob and Community Day. The shirt is worn with pride from preschool through to graduation.
Annual scoring
Every activity counts. Points accumulate across the three terms and the cup is awarded at the end-of-year ceremony.
Every year group together
A preschool student competes on the same side as a senior. Older students lead, younger ones learn.
Supporters and family
Families are part of the community too. On Community Day the stands turn blue.
What a community means at Praga
Every student belongs to one of the four communities for their entire school life. It is not a temporary group: it is an identity that stays with them from enrolment to graduation.
Competing teaches more than winning
Communities exist so students learn to work as a team, lose with dignity and celebrate with generosity. Results pass; the character formed there remains.
Real leadership
Older students organise the younger ones, build the choreography and hold up team morale. For many it is the first genuine leadership role of their lives.

Frequently asked questionsHow is my child’s community assigned?
Assignment aims for balance across the four communities. Siblings are usually placed together so the family lives the year in one colour.
Can a student change community?
No. The community stays with the student throughout their school life: that is precisely the value of belonging.
Do families take part?
Yes. On Community Day the stands fill with families wearing their community colours.
