JEFFREYS BAY – Global Leadership Academy’s Athletics Day 2026 was marked by strong participation, visible effort, and excellent team spirit.
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.
Building on this momentum, 77 learners represented GLA at the Paul Sauer Kouga Athletics Meeting on 31 January.
Athletes competed with determination and commitment, earning an impressive medal tally of eight gold, 11 silver, and 10 bronze medals.
Athletics at GLA continues to focus on participation, development, and learning, laying a solid foundation for future progress.
