ATHLETICS


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.

D A N C I N G



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.
