The Foundation Phase Inter- House Gala took place on Thursday 12 March. It was a fantastic effort from all the swimmers and especially the life savers who swam on not the warmest of days. Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable day with the children showing off their skills either in the stroke races or fun races. The great and dedicated parent support were fully entertained on the day with Umgeni coming out as the overall winners. Thank you to all staff and pupils for all your valuable help on that special day.

Mini- Cricket Fun Day

We will be holding our Mini- Cricket Fun Day on Saturday 28th November. It will be an opportunity for dads or moms to play in a mini- cricket match against their sons. Each child will get a chance to bowl and bat against their parents and vice versa. Depending on numbers, we usually have 8 players in each team where children and parents will bat and bowl in pairs. Each pair will have about 8 – 12 minutes (also dependent on numbers) to bat and bowl.
