We have come to the end of the Sports year for most of our learners. Please note that On-the-Move sessions will continue on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The sessions will be available for you to log up extra kilometres before the end of the year. The sessions will take place from 12h15 to 13h00. Come and join in the fun. New learners are also welcome.
First Squad Hockey and Water Polo sessions will also continue. Read more details below.
Good luck to each and every one of you as you head into the exams.
School Sport
Hockey
From 15 November, a group of 30 players was invited to join a post-season outdoor hockey squad that would train throughout term 4. Training sessions have been going very well, and it has been great to have time to focus on technical skills that we don’t have the time to work on during the season.
Training sessions take place once a week and will continue through the exams. These sessions are not compulsory. Those who have been attending these sessions however have already shown huge improvement. It is exciting to be able to start our preparations for 2022 already, in the hope that all our proposed tournaments will go ahead.
