Tennis
Maggie Krieg (Grade 12) recently participated in the TSA Interprovincial Tournament held in Pretoria from 8-12 January 2025. As a member of the Western Cape Disas Team, Maggie competed alongside her teammates against some of the best talent from across the country. The team performed well throughout the tournament, securing 5th place out of 16 teams.
On Tuesday, January 28th, our first tennis team had an outstanding performance, defeating Herschel’s second team 12-0 in a dominant display. The third team also secured a strong win, beating St Cyprian’s fourth side 6-4. Unfortunately, our fourth team was unable to overcome St Cyprian’s fifth team but fought hard nonetheless. Overall, it was a day of mixed results, with impressive victories from the first and third teams!
Swimming
On Thursday, 2 January, our talented swimming team competed in the first swimming gala of the season at Herzlia High School. The team shined and finished 5th place out of 12 schools with 107 points.
The swimmers who represented RGHS displayed solid performances across a range of events. The team included Isabella Webber, Imani Magotsi, Ellen Hodgkinson, Jade Jarvis, Reese Edwards, Tamryn Van Aswegn, Aeshah Hendricks, Rebecca Nilsson, Daria Davids, Josephine Endres, and Sanaa Talip. Each member contributed to the overall success. We commend the team for their achievement and wish them all the best for their upcoming gala at Fish Hoek this week.
Indoor Hockey
As is the case with every year, the indoor hockey trials for grade 8s took place in the first week of term 1 – with the hurried preparation to start matches in week two.
With little preparation at the start of the year, our teams were able to equip themselves more than adequately against an array of opposition ranging from Milnerton High School, Pinelands High School, Fairmont High School, Wynberg Girls’ High School and Bergvliet High School.
While there were interruptions to the matches on the day, all teams were able to play their matches and produce some very good results.

Touch Rugby
Our touch rugby teams took to the field for the first time in 2025. Some bright young talent was on display for the first team, who made a bright start by beating Springfield 3-2. An up-and-down afternoon for the second team saw them record a resounding 6-0 win, which was followed by a 5-0 defeat, which they will look to turn around in their next fixture. The third team put on a strong display against Springfield’s second team, registering a 1-1 draw. The fourth team were not in a charitable mood, dispatching the Wynberg third team 5-0.
There are no touch rugby matches this weekend, due to the school carnival.
