Harry Pereira, S.J., Fr. Benjamin Fernandes, S.J., and Fr. Robin Selwyn, S.J., in the 1970s and 1980s saw the place of sports in the full development of youth.

Through the efforts of Fr. Lawrie Ferrao, as principal, the gymnasium was upgraded with a treadmill. The Donnelly field was completely redone with new turf and sprinklers. After that the carpentry room next to the Donnelly gym was renovated and part of it made into a changing room, and the toilet facilities repaired. The grounds facing Waroda Road were revamped and floors tiled, for weddings and other gatherings. It is also called "The Backyard Lawn".{{citation needed|date=January 2016}}

The school has won inter-school tournaments, participating in the Ahmed Sailor Cup in field hockey. The school has a grass hockey ground (Donnelly Gym), two basketball courts, an outdoor badminton court, two football grounds, two smaller grounds, a swimming pool and a gymnasium. The hockey ground is used to play state-level tournaments.
