Tennis

Our Tennis teams continue to make steady progress in the Schools Tennis League. As the season gains momentum, our players have competed against strong and well-prepared opposition, consistently displaying resilience, focus, and a healthy competitive spirit.

Encouragingly, the teams have represented the school with pride, demonstrating excellent sportsmanship and teamwork both on and off the court. Their commitment to training and willingness to challenge themselves early in the season has contributed positively to their overall growth and performance.

We congratulate all our Tennis players on their hard work and determination thus far and look forward to their continued development as the league unfolds.

Indoor Hockey

PGSGU:

This week, we had our PGSGU Indoor hockey. The first team girls were spectacular having drawn 3 and losing 1. The highlight of the day was a 3-3 draw with Herschel, who scored from a short corner after the final whistle to draw level. Herschel went on to win the event showing just how competitive our team was. Congratulations team.

Water Polo

As we wrap up our season, our u19 learners dominated their League Division at the Old Petrians Tournament, which was held in Johannesburg last weekend from 19-22 Feb 2026.

From early morning risers to thunder striking surprises, talent shows explored with a turbulent flight endured. We are proud of our first team athletes bringing back the Shield after 4 years. Thank you to all the parents who supported us at the Tournament.
