Newsletter 18: 2013 Soccer The u 11 B team reached the finals of the Challenge cup but were unfortunately beaten by Glenstantia 5 -1 in the final. Congratulations to these boys.

Interhouse Athletics Run Outs On Friday, 14 June 2013, we had the Interhouse Athletics run outs. The fastest four children in the house will compete in the relay and sprint events at the Interhouse Athletics to be held on 26 July 2013 at 08:30. Should your child like to compete in High Jump, Hurdles, Long Jump, Middle Distance or Shotput, they will be able to put their name down on a list outside the Sports Office. The field events will be held on Thursday 25 July at 13:00. Some children are unaware of the distance of Middle Distance events and perhaps they should train for these events during the school holidays. It would certainly benefit your child for the Athletics season should he/she be fitter. These events are voluntary. U 9 and u 10 – 600 m U 11, u 12 and u 13 – 1200 m U 14 – 1500m
