Sports

The different summer sport activities offered to learners are cricket, swimming, tennis and athletics. Winter sports consist of rugby, hockey and netball. Learners are grouped into three different teams for each sport: the A team, B team, and C team. Which team a learner is placed in depends on their skill and overall team play abilities.

The school houses Rietvlei, Blouberg and Atlanta compete in multifarious competitions during inter-house athletics held in the month of November. The top athletes of the day then go through to District North Athletics Championships where they are selected for the Western Province Championships.

Culture

Classes for music, art and drama are offered. Art activities can be further developed after school if learners join the Art Club. There are two choirs, a Junior Choir and a Senior Choir.
