Interhouse Athletics Day

As the sun rose on Saturday morning 3 February 2018, we knew it was going to be a stunning day for Athletics and it didn’t disappoint!  In full song and with huge excitement, Coornhoop, Liesbeek and Tafelberg paraded around the field…the day had begun.  With the smell of boerewors braaing in the air,  the first races got under way. It was wonderful to see the parents cheering their children on and many, many photo’s being taken.  A highlight was definitely seeing the Grade R’s running with bean bags on their heads and egg and spoon races.  The Grade 7’s hosted the tuckshop for the day, as a fundraiser towards their tour to the Garden Route later this year.  Thank you to everyone for supporting them.  The main event of the day was of course the Relay event.  The races were closely contested by the houses, with lots of encouragement shouted from the sidelines.  A huge congratulations to Tafelberg who were the winners on the day with 332 points, followed by Coornhoop 315 and Liesbeek with 302.  Thank you to everyone for all their support, I know the learners loved having their parents there!
