POLOKWANE – Mitchell House College’s soccer and tennis teams, with the school choir and Marimba Band, travelled to St Peter’s College in Johannesburg recently to take part in a weekend of sport, music and new experiences.

The learners competed against top schools and showcased their musical talents in a celebration of youth talent.

The tour promised not only competition but also valuable cultural exchange and camaraderie.

Ahead of their departure, college head Claude Goeminne wished the group well.

“We wish our soccer and tennis teams, our choir and Marimba Band team, alongside their coaches and conductors, all the best for the event at St Peter’s College. Go and make us proud, enjoy every moment and embrace the new experiences,” Goeminne said.

Bowl division champions

And proud they certainly made the school, with the college girls tennis team crowned bowl division champions at the festival.

Goeminne congratulated the team on their fantastic finish to the tournament, displaying great skill, determination and teamwork throughout.

Alumni support on the sidelines

There was an extra special cheer on Saturday as Mitchell House former girls first team tennis player and Matric Class of 2021 alumna, Makopa Maponya, came through to support the girls on the sidelines.

“Nothing quite like seeing our alumni cheering for their alma mater.”
