“The school is participating in the Gauteng Provincial Championships for the first time. We have already achieved history by doing so, so any further success is a plus for us,” said Ruan de Lange, Sports coordinator.
“Given that some students attending the provincials are rugby players, it is a very poignant sensation. This demonstrates their degree of adaptability and passion for athletics.
“As we go along, I am learning more about the hammer throw, but I don’t know much about it.
“Our athletes participate in hurdle races, long and high jump, and other events,” said De Lange.
