Sport started off very well this week with impressive attendance. The warm water in the swimming pool has been welcomed by all.
Sport will continue throughout the assessment weeks that start on Monday 7 November.
Sport attendance and participation will still be compulsory for all Grade 8s and 9s. There will be a revised sports programme sent out nearer the time with session starting at 13h00.
Congratulations to two of our staff members who completed the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon on Sunday. Both Ms Viljoen and Ms Smith really did us proud. Rest well!
