Touch Rugby

Congratulations to Amelie Visser (Grade 12) on her selection to attend the South African Women’s Rugby Training Camp.

Amelie will join some of the country’s most talented rugby players at the national training camp. Being selected for this camp is a remarkable achievement and a testament to her dedication, perseverance, talent, and commitment to the sport.

This opportunity marks an important milestone in Amelie’s rugby journey and reflects the countless hours of hard work she has invested both on and off the field.

Hockey

On Friday, 24 July, Rustenburg took on St Cyprian’s in our final league game of the season. The entire day was evenly contested with a mixed bag of results. The standout teams were our U19B team, who narrowly won 2-1 to complete a league season with only one loss in nine games. Our U16A team won 3-0, securing their place on top of the league for now, with only one school able to possibly catch them in the race for the title. 

Congratulations to all of our learners who participated in a very good weekend of matches. All results are below.
