Eleven schools battle for Cluster 3A glory
Avianto Estate Private School and Laerskool Muldersdrif were recently joint hosts of a Cluster 3A athletics event.
Avianto Estate Private School recently welcomed 11 schools to Muldersdrift who went head-to-head in a mammoth Cluster 3A Athletics Meeting.
What was one of the very first major athletic events to take place in 2023 saw hundreds of young athletes from across Mogale City compete in various items including high jump, shot put, long-distance running, sprints, long jump, and even hurdles.

The 11 participating schools were Avianto Estate Private School, Lesego Primary School, Kingswood Academy, Kings School Muldersdift, Unity, Muldersdrif, Vine Christian School, Khululekani Thuthuzekani, Tsholosego, and Enthuthukweni. Age groups involved were U7s through to U13s.
Mandy van der Walt, Avianto Estate Private School marketer explained the event was also jointly hosted by Laerskool Muldersdrif.
“The host school wanted to use our facilities because they had water problems in their school and it was our first time hosting the event. What stood out for me is seeing schools from different communities working together to make the event a success.”
Mullies school principal Herman Byleveld added, “Due to the heavy rainfall in December, parts of our sportsfield did not drain well. Parts of our field were not suited for use and therefore we approached Avianto, which is close to our school. We also have a good relationship with Avianto. Avianto is a beautiful facility and they are very helpful and accommodating. It needs to be mentioned that Curro Krugersdorp, Hoërskool Bastion, and Hoërskool Monument also offered to host this event.”
Mullies’ sportsfield has been adapted in the meantime and they are looking forward to hosting numerous sporting and cultural events again.
The athletics season has since been in full swing across town with many events taking place since then including the Krugersdorp championships. Let us know what your school is up to on the athletics field by sending us an email to krugersdorpnews@caxton.co.za
