This year saw the highest level of learner involvement to date, with colour teams competing with pride and enthusiasm across both track and field events.

Despite challenging windy conditions, several school records were broken, highlighting moments of individual excellence and perseverance on the day.

These performances reflected the commitment and focus of our athletes under testing circumstances.

Congratulations are extended to the Orange team for securing back-to-back victories, as well as to the Red and Yellow teams for their competitive spirit and positive energy throughout the event.

The school also thanked event sponsors, Chery Kelston Motors Jeffreys Bay, Beesland Butchery, and Fountains Mall, for their valued support of school sport.

Appreciation is also extended to the parents who assisted at food stations and those who provided gazebos, contributing greatly to the smooth running of the day.
