“Our biggest aim for the Winter Sports Festival is to showcase Midrand Primary School’s ability to host tournaments and to show parents the school offers good education as well as good sports.
“We are an old school – 25 years old – but we still want people to associate Midrand with the school.”
He added, “We also want a lively relationship with the schools around us so we all can benefit by closing the gap between model C schools and our school and to let our school dominate in the sports arena.”
