Sports programme
Kastelli specialises in football, ice hockey, swimming, athletics and tennis. Our sports programme accepts 20 - 35 new students; three to five students per year for each sport.
Training in physical education is provided in the form of specialization courses. Twelve to twenty courses of sports training are available for the students in the sports programme. The number depends on their options in other subjects.
When students are selected for the sports programme, they get points for the average grade in their comprehensive school leaving papers and at the most twenty points for their sports results. In addition, they get at the most four points for aptitude, which is defined on the basis of the sports programme, an aptitude test, a psychological test, and an interview.
The brightest stars of our sports school so far are Janne Niinimaa, the world champion at ice hockey in 1995, Southampton goalkeeper Antti Niemi and Susanna Pöykiö who won the silver medal at the European Figure Skating Championships in 2005. Just a few to mention.
