The past few weeks saw Parktown High School for Girls learners take part in a lot of sport. According to the marketing and communications manager at the school, Kerry Liss, the girls participated in a variety of sports activities including canoeing, hockey and netball.
“We are very pleased that seven of our canoeing girls made it down to SA Champs and competed against paddlers from all over the country. They all raced in a few events and put themselves to the test. They raced over three days and returned home proud of their results,” said Liss.
She added that the U14 and U15 hockey teams got up early on their first day of holiday to play in the Redhill Junior Hockey Festival.
“Our teams were unbeaten for the day and had a lot of fun. Well done to all the girls who played” Liss said.
The netball 1st team participated in the St Andrew’s Netball Tournament from 4 April to 7 April. It was a challenging weekend playing against the toughest schools from all over South Africa.
Simultaneously, on 4 April, the netball 2nd team played their first league matches against Hyde Park High School in the lead games and won all matches played by U14 to U16 teams.
Liss said, “What a great way to start the season! Well done to all the netball players on their hard work and focus; keep it up ladies.”
