The preparatory school team competed with an average of four schools in their non-competitive events. Spokesperson for the school Zeenath Sathiah said, “With athletics season being our shortest sport season our prep pupils put their minds together in working not just as a team but as a family during each practice session and meeting”

Head of the preparatory school’s athletics, Reece Prinsloo, said he is happy with the performance of their athletes and believed that they held the Christ Church flag high.
