QMS Athletic Programs - Senior School

Be Curious. Be Brave. Be Kind. Be You.

At QMS, all students are encouraged to be active, explore new sports, and develop into well-rounded student-athletes. Our student-centered programs cultivate courageous, compassionate, and confident leaders through meaningful, community-based athletic experiences. We challenge our students to reach their potential by committing to their sport, teammates, coaches and themselves.

Royals Basketball

Our goal is to foster lifelong physical activity and athleticism, with our sports programs serving as a foundation for this journey. QMS offers both competitive teams and non-competitive club options, working closely with the Duncan and Cowichan Valley community to enhance our programming. Our coaching staff not only teach technical sports skills but also instill core values such as teamwork, kindness, courage, and self-reflection.

Students engage in a variety of physical education classes during the school day, while our co-curricular sports program runs after school from Monday to Friday. Within this program, students have the opportunity to try out for the Royals Athletic competitive teams, which compete in the Vancouver Island Secondary Schools Athletic Association (VISSAA) and British Columbia School Sport (BCSS) systems.

Service & Leadership

At QMS Athletics, we offer students the chance to take on leadership roles within our athletics department and to volunteer at school events. Our senior athletes play a vital role by assisting with coaching and refereeing for younger grades. This mentorship fosters a strong sense of school culture and camaraderie, building connections and community among students.
