For private tennis lessons, please find the BVTS Micklefield Tennis Academy information in the Adana App under Documentation, Sport/Extra-murals. We are wanting one coaching style for our girls so we can build our teams to be strong and competitive.
Please see the Edana App under Documents, Sport/Extra-Murals for the letter with all the winter sports information and dates. In order for the programme to run smoothly and efficiently, please follow the info on the letter. There are a lot of logistics and many outside coaches so we need your support in making sure your daughters are at their sport practice and match correctly.
Fixtures lists for both hockey and netball have been sent home with all Grade 3-7 pupils this week. These are also available on the Edana App. Please be aware that the venues for netball and hockey matches are finalised between the two schools nearer the actual fixture. Schools need to establish what facilities are available at each school and it also depends on whether the fixture has been allocated as a home or away match for each particular school. The exact time of the matches and venues will be on the team sheets that will be sent via the class Whatsapp every Monday after practice for Netball and every Tuesday after practice for Hockey.

We will be running the following compulsory netball clinics. All girls who play netball need to attend their specific Saturday.

Saturday, 20 May: U10 and U11 – At Micklefield from 08.30 – 10.30

Micklefield launched our Sport Focus Year with Mr Murray Anderson, an Olympian and Springbok Hockey player and teacher at Bishops Prep. Amongst many other international matches and achievements, Murray played in the Summer Olympics in 1996. He inspired our Gr 3-7 girls to train hard, to give of their best, to push beyond their comfort zone, to always be a team player and above all, enjoy their participation in Sport.
The Grade 3s had a fantastic adventure in Strandfontein Bird Sanctuary. They took great delight in putting their knowledge into practice, easily identifying all the birds they had learned about. An enormous ‘thank you’ to all the parents who were able to take us on a game drive around the ponds to spot the birds.
Grade 00s – 3s were treated to an amazing show: Wanda the Musical, performed by a talented cast from the Ticket to The Moon Youth Theatre Company. Relevant themes such as bullying, girl power and loving yourself for who you are, were woven into the show in a vibrant and entertaining way. What a treat in the first week of Term 2!
