VEREENIGING – The Dick Fourie Stadium came alive with vibrant energy on January 24, as Fundamental Private School hosted its inter-house athletics competition under clear, sunny skies.

Learners, divided into their respective houses, competed fiercely in various events, showcasing athletic talent and team spirit.
