We are looking forward to a few fixtures in the coming weeks. To minimise the number of players on campus at the sports venues, we have limited the number of teams playing at any one time. We will be making use of the opposing schools’ facilities as well as our own.
Having said the above, please note that all players and coaching staff will be screened before all matches. Players have to arrive with masks on as well as all their own equipment. Players are welcome to play with their masks on or off, whatever they feel comfortable doing. Please do remember that the NO SPECTATOR rule still applies. We ask that all players depart the campus immediately after their match.
Good luck to all the teams participating.
All learners who have represented our province at a regional or national tournament in a sports code this year must please get in touch with Mrs Scott on scottr@rghs.org.za before Wednesday 25 August.

HORSE RIDING
Trinity Simmons (Grade 9) had her best ride ever at the Regional competition on Saturday 8 August. Unfortunately, she was eliminated for using the incorrect crop which her coach did not inform her of. Trinity is congratulated on reaching this level as well as her perseverance in this adverse situation.
