Southcity travels to grow and gain

Beautiful weather and a good atmosphere ensured a lot of fun was had by all at the recent annual open day.

RECENTLY, 63 Southcity Christian College pupils from the rugby, girls’ hockey, boys’ hockey and netball first teams took part in the annual Treverton College sports festival in Mooi River, where they had the opportunity to play against schools from around the country. These trips away are a great opportunity for sportsmen and women to grow, learn and improve. Southcity’s netball teams improved tremendously with every game.
