The compulsory Sports Hour resumes in Term 4 from Monday, 16 October. There will be no Sport Hour for the first week of school, except for the Grade 3s whose Sport Hour is during the school day.
The private extra-mural service providers normally offer 8 lessons per term, starting in the second week of term and ending in the second last week. The 4th term is however shorter so some private extra-murals might only have 7 lessons or some might start in the first week back. They have been asked to liaise directly with you, but if you are unsure, please check with them directly.
Well done to all our runners who participated in the PGSGU Inter-Schools Cross Country competition, held at RGHS on Thursday 12 October. The girls did exceptionally well, finishing 5th out of 8 – a big improvement from 7th place last year even without many of our runners who were away on Shocking Pink Tour. Congratulations to our U10 team who finished 2nd in their age group and especially Catherine Davidge who finished 2nd in the U10 race.
Our very own Alison Smith will be participating on Sunday. She is one of 6 runners who are on the ‘Cape Town Marathon Hall of Fame’ for having completed 11 Cape Town marathons since 2012. Many of our parents are also competing so lets get out there and support them. For those of you who live near to Micklefield, the route goes right past our school so wear some pink and line the streets to cheer them on!
Rehearsals have started in earnest for the Grade 7 House Plays that will take place at the end of term.

The Western Cape Shocking Pink Tour has been a fantastic balance of musical performance and fun. The girls had the privilege to share their talent and love of singing with other schools in the province and at the same time enjoy the beauty of the Cape.
