Athletics is held in the first and last term. In the first term we
have Inter House Athletics, where the learners qualify to be part of
the athletics team. Other athletes may also attend practises in
order to improve. The school team participates at the Inter School
Athletics Championships, where athletes stand to qualify for the
Germiston team and even the Gauteng Championships. Our athletes are
required to play by the rules, show pride in their school and be
respectful to their competitors. We hope you will join us for the
fun and excitement of the Athletics Season.

Dancing is an energetic and self-expressive activity
for our budding ballerinas, cheerleaders and
hip-hoppers! So far this year our dancing boys and
girls have learnt the basics of many dance forms.
They are so brilliant that they can even make a
human pyramid! Dancing is a fun way for children of
all ages to stay fit, build self-confidence and
express themselves.
Come along and enjoy the vibe.
