These achievements were made possible through the dedication of TP Stratten’s coaches.
The school thanked the management and sponsors for their support. Without them, this achievement would not have been possible.

The school’s slogan was “against all odds.” Coach Mofokeng said the secret to their victory was through praying and having God as the head coach.
