Extra-Curricular
Our extra-curricular program is secondary to academic work as our primary focus is on preparing our learners for their educational futures. Therefore, our role in extra-mural activities is one of encouragement with emphasis placed on participation and enjoyment as opposed to pressurising our learners to perform and achieve outstanding results.
SPORTS AND RECREATION
While our main focus is on academic excellence, we offer various sporting activities for our learners to participate in which are largely determined by interest. We currently offer soccer (boys and girls), netball, equestrian, touch rugby (boys and girls), athletics (track and field) and non-competitive archery and swimming.
CULTURAL ACTIVITIES
We participate in eisteddfod and public speaking events throughout the year and pay specific attention to the World Scholars Cup - 2016 and 2017 saw our learners travel to Thailand and Cape Town respectively, representing South Africa at the finals.

ANNUAL TOURS
Over the past ten years, our learners have had the opportunity to tour various places both locally and internationally. Previous destinations include Durban, Cape Town, Thailand, Singapore, England, Scotland, Wales, Italy, Barbados, and Trinidad & Tobago. All tours have currently been placed on hold owing to Covid-19.
CAMPS & EXCURSIONS
Throughout the year our learners go on various educational outings with the intention of exposing them to new experiences while broadening their horizons in the process. Previous excursions include visits to The Apartheid Museum, Constitution Hill, Maropeng & Cradle of Humankind, The SABC, ABSA Towers, Gautrain, Pretoria prison, SAA Museum, and Sci-Bono Discovery Centre. Camps include Grade 10-12 Maths camp, Grade 11 Leadership Camp, and senior Geography and Life Sciences camps. All excursions have currently been placed on hold owing to Covid-19.
GENERAL ACTIVITIES
Other activities throughout the year include the Grade 12 Matric Farewell, the selection of a Leadership Body and Representative Council of Learners (RCL), CANSA Shavathon/Sprayathon, Walkerville Soapbox Derby as well as various school entrepreneurial days and social fundraising events. We also visit many different charity organisations and raise funds where possible to assist the greater community. All charity events have currently been placed on hold owing to Covid-19.
