We nurture the development of strong athletes and leaders through participation, sportsmanship and discipline. As a complement to the academic curriculum, the sports programme increases students’ physical and emotional fitness, creating young women who believe in themselves both inside and outside of the classroom.
 
Our athletes are given many opportunities to grow and improve. We offer  students a variety of winter and summer sporting codes, all taught by a team of highly qualified coaches. Students can participate at all levels in each sporting code, ranging from leisure/novice to competitive leagues.
 
The sport offerings include, but are not limited to:
 

Aerobics
Dance
Karate
Sports Conditioning
Volleyball
 
Athletics
Fit for Life
Netball
Tennis
Yoga
Cross Country
Hockey
Soccer
Touch Rugby
 

We promote healthy competition through the House structure. Each student is assigned a House. Every term, or sometimes more often, sporting events are held and the competition is organised by House.
 
There are four Houses represented by African animals and colours:
 
Amabhubesi - The Lion - Yellow
Mangau - The Leopard - Green
Izindlovu - The Elephant - Blue
Ditshukudu - The Rhino - Red
 

 

 
  

  
 

 


 
Our Department encourages students to live healthy lives by educating them about healthy eating and exercise. We also hope to inspire students to motivate their peers and communities to build a healthy foundation through wholesome living. The programme has a leading fitness expert, who is well-equipped to guide students on their physical journey. We have also enlisted the services of a highly qualified dietician who is available for consultation when necessary.
