Rand Park High School hosted dozens of Grade 6 learners in mini-games of netball, touch-rugby and hockey at the school’s popular Winter Sports Festival on August 7.
Teams were managed by the school’s Grade 11 and 12 learners. The senior players were tasked with guiding the youngsters and ensuring that they enjoyed a morning of great sport and team spirit.
Eager participants were divided into mixed teams which allowed them to meet players from other primary schools and make new friends.
Participants were encouraged to try out a sport that they may not have played previously, which they did enthusiastically.
It was a morning filled with new experiences, new friendships, and good fun.
The festival also benefitted the senior learners who managed, coached and mentored the Grade 6 players and joined in the fun by playing the sports that they love.
“We are very proud of our senior learners for welcoming the junior players and for making sure that it was a memorable day for each participant,” said the school’s marketing and communications officer Heather Robinson.
“We are also very grateful to Graeme Hamilton Reid of Chas Everitt for the sponsorship provided and to The Academy of Sound Engineering for providing outstanding sound and music for the duration of the festival.”
