“This is our first-ever inter-house since the outbreak of Covid-19 and we are happy and excited to get the learners back on track, as a child in a classroom is not the same as a child outside the classroom,” said teacher and athletics coordinator Lindiwe Mmekoa.

“We believe that we are set and ready to compete with other schools in Randburg. We will choose our top learners who will be able to represent us in the next term.”

Some parents also stretched their legs while taking part in races.
