Head of sport at the school, Kerdrick Haggard said it had been a while since the learners had participated in sports and under the Covid-19 circumstances, athletics was one of the safer activities.

“We have hosted a penalty shoot-out for soccer and netball… We did an entire CrossFit at the beginning of the year. We had grids all over the field and the learners were each given their own lane to do their set of six CrossFit stations which was our first big event,” he said.
