Athletes participate in water polo challenge

The annual Roedean School South Africa Prestige Cup made a splash in February.

Hosted by Roedean School (SA), the Prestige Water polo Cup is an outstanding fixture on the Gauteng schools’ calendar.

According to Roedean School marketing coordinator Antonia Dorfling, the games which took place from February 19–20, were live-streamed on the SuperSport Schools app, and parents and learners could watch on the Roedean School App.

“This exciting tournament is more than just about winning, it’s about making a lasting impact and leaving a legacy. Each of the top 10 participating schools partners with an under-resourced school to share and pass on swimming and water safety learning and coaching,” SuperSport Schools posted on their Facebook page.
