Organized with meticulous planning by Thabile Dume (principal) and her team of dedicated teachers, the event promised a day of friendly competition and team spirit.
As the participants arrived, the atmosphere buzzed with excitement.

Students wore their house colors proudly, parents and teachers cheered them on from the stands.
The sports day featured a variety of events, catering to every student’s talents and interests. From the classic relay races and tug-of-war to the more unconventional sack races and three-legged races, the day was filled with laughter and enthusiasm. Parents and teachers were encouraged to participate in some events, adding to the fun and fostering a strong sense of community.
“I couldn’t be prouder of our students and the sportsmanship they displayed today,” said Thabile Duma the school’s Principal. “It’s heartwarming to see them cheering for their teammates and encouraging one another to do their best.”
Thabile and her team ensured that the sports day was not only about competition but also about building character and fostering a sense of unity among the students. Points were awarded not just for winning events but also for showing sportsmanship and teamwork throughout the day.
“I believe that sports teach our students valuable life lessons,”Thabile stated. “It’s not just about winning; it’s about supporting each other, learning from both victories and defeats, and pushing oneself to improve.”
As the sun began to set on the memorable day, the closing ceremony took place. The Red House emerged as the overall winner, but the true victory was the sense of camaraderie and sportsmanship that permeated the event. The Inter-House Sports Day at the Amanzimtoti Rugby Club had brought the school community closer together, leaving lasting memories and inspiration for the students to carry forward.
With gratitude to Cliff Malan and his team, the school bid farewell to an unforgettable day, knowing that the spirit of unity and triumph would linger long after the cheers had subsided.
