Junior School Sport Highlights
Hockey
It has been a long, challenging and incredibly rewarding hockey season, and we are immensely proud of what our girls have achieved. Their commitment, hard work and determination throughout the season have been exceptional, and their performances have demonstrated the growth and development of our hockey programme.
Our U10A team had an outstanding season, finishing top of their pool with the highest points in the Daisy League. They also qualified for the quarter-finals of the Northerns League, an incredible achievement for the team.
The U11A also enjoyed a highly successful season, finishing second in their pool with the second-highest points in the Daisy League. Their excellent performances saw them qualify for the Northerns League quarter-finals.
Our U12A team finished top of their pool and third overall in the Daisy League, narrowly missing out on a place in the quarter-finals. Their season was a wonderful reflection of the girls' resilience, determination and continued improvement.
We are incredibly proud of all our hockey players and the dedication they have shown throughout the season. Every training session, match and challenge has contributed to their development, and their achievements are a testament to the hard work of the girls, coaches and families who have supported them.

A special thank you goes to the parents who travelled to support the girls. Their encouragement and presence made the experience even more memorable. The girls also enjoyed some time away from the courts, including a visit to the Valley of Waves and a dinner at Spur, creating wonderful memories alongside their sporting experience.
Squash Success
We are delighted to congratulate Diketso Tlhapane and Charlotte van Woerkom, who have been selected to attend the National U13 Squash Training Camp, taking place from 23–27 September 2026.
Each province was invited to nominate its top three players from the U13A IPT team, making this a significant achievement for both girls. They will have the opportunity to train alongside some of the country's top junior squash players and gain valuable experience at national level.
A special congratulations goes to Diketso Tlhapane on achieving a South African Top 10 ranking. This is an outstanding accomplishment and a reflection of her dedication and commitment to squash.
Celebrating Our Girls
From hockey pitches and indoor courts to tennis courts and squash championships, our girls continue to demonstrate that sport is about so much more than results. It is about perseverance, teamwork, discipline, resilience and having the courage to challenge yourself.
We are incredibly proud of every girl who represented our school this season. Congratulations to our players, coaches and families on a wonderful season of sport. We look forward to seeing our girls continue to grow, develop and embrace every opportunity that comes their way.
