Athletics is a mass participation sport with a lot of enthusiastic and energetic children participating. The children work hard at improving their techniques for the various track and field events. Our coaching team enjoys the challenge of encouraging all our young athletes to reach their full potential. The athletes also motivate each other to do better and there is some healthy competition to see who can run, jump and throw faster, further and higher. Our annual sports day is usually held mid-November and is enjoyed by all. Our better athletes participate in the zonal, regional and provincial meetings held in Term 1. We have started special team training for these athletes where the groups are smaller and specialised training can take place.

Cross Country at our school is a rapidly growing sport with a large group of committed runners attending the late afternoon practices on Mondays. The runners enjoy being together and encouraging each other. Friday afternoons are race days and we compete against many bother schools in league races at various exciting venues around the Cape Peninsula. It is always lots of fun to coach such an enthusiastic bunch of runners.
