Montrose learners level up at fourth annual esports showdown

Montrose Primary turned up the heat in their fourth inter-house esports tournament with Rocket League joining Minecraft for the first time.

Montrose Primary School was buzzing with excitement as learners geared up for their fourth annual inter-house esports tournament on July 26.

The digital competition, which has become a much-anticipated event on the school calendar, saw players going head-to-head in Minecraft and, for the first time, Rocket League.

“This year, we wanted to allow more learners to participate, so we introduced Rocket League alongside Minecraft,” said Ronel Sauer, Montrose’s Girls’ Sports Coordinator and Esports Manager.
