It is no secret that they are one of our province\u2019s top performing high schools academically and perhaps one of their secrets to their success is their successful holistic approach to education, balancing academics with sport and other activities,\u201d said Maynier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In sharp contrast to the gloomy weather, the mood among RGHS learners and staff was positively sunny after finding out that they were in the running for the shared $250 000 (about R4 564 537,50) cash prize. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>School principal Michael Gates said it was an honour to be named one of the Top 10 Schools in the world supporting healthy lifestyles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis competition is open to all applicants, and we eagerly participated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 1894, RGHS has a strong reputation for academic excellence with their matric graduates often appearing on the Western Cape Department of Education\u2019s Top Learners lists. With the aim of balancing their academically driven focus, the school implemented a sports policy which made sports compulsory for Grade 8 and 9 learners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The policy allows learners to choose from a wide range of sports, including both competitive and social options. The athletic instruction provides one structured and one unstructured sports lesson every 10 days, meaning learners have both organised and creative opportunities within the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gates said being active and engaging in physical activity were crucial for academic, social and mental success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe believe in the transformative power of an active lifestyle. Every one of our learners is encouraged to embrace a healthy way of life where exercise becomes an integral part of their daily routines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the school took immense pride in their high-achieving competitive teams who shine on the sports fields and courts at a competitive level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cToday, we celebrate our success, but tomorrow, we will continue inspiring generations to promote healthy lifestyles,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>T4 Education, a global organisation committed to providing engaging tools, initiatives, and events for teachers to improve education, launched the contest to showcase excellence in schools through a prize competition format. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the contest, all 50 shortlisted schools will be invited to share their best practices through events on the T4 Communities app or School Transformation Toolkits that showcase their \u201csecret sauce\u201d to innovative approaches and step-by-step instructions on how others can replicate their methods to help improve education everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, two Western Cape schools reached the Top 10 \u2013 Pinelands-North Primary School and West End Primary School, both for the category \u201cOvercoming Adversity\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pinelands North went on to achieve a Top 3 position.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur schools in the Western Cape have so much to offer in terms of \u2018best practice\u2019 around the world, and we know that Rustenburg Girls\u2019 High is no exception. They will certainly fly the South African flag high,\u201d said Maynier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A second South African school, SPARK Soweto in Johannesburg, was also named as a Top Ten contender, in the category \u201cCommunity Collaboration\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Top 3 finalists for each of the five World\u2019s Best School Prizes will be announced in September followed by the winners in October. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The winning school in each of the five categories will receive an award of US$50 000 (about R912 785).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The School Transformation Toolkits from last year\u2019s
