Steelpoort Academy expects many medals after interhouse

The interhouse athletics started with a bang at Steelpoort Academy on Thursday.

Proud parents witnessed an athletic spectacle, as learners jostled for medals and the opportunity to represent their school in upcoming athletics competitions.

Marianie Kleinhans, a teacher at the school, noted that the children performed exceptionally well. “There is massive athletics talent at our school. The learners smashed various school records.

This year they raised the bar. We are hoping for many more medals when we compete against other schools,” she said.

The athletes were divided into three categories; the blue, red and yellow teams. The pupils competed in field races, shot put, high jump and long jump.
