Classes participate in Soapbox Derby for charity
Soapbox Derby facilitator Jan Botha discussed how the derby is structured.
The classes at the Trinityhouse Little Falls Preparatory School competed against each other in a Soapbox Derby competition on Saturday, 8 September, to raise funds for charity.
The fun-filled day had the learners dressed in different colours representative of their classes and using their endless energy to race around the school grounds in the go-karts, in full view of the crowd of spectators made up of their peers and parents.
Soapbox Derby facilitator Jan Botha discussed how the derby was structured. “The Soapbox Derby is a competition between the classes, with the class that performs the most rounds in an allocated time frame being declared the winners,” he said.
He added that it is always a fun encounter for the children as this kind of sport teaches them how to interact with each other and work as a team.
