Sports and Cultural Activities

The Academy offers a host of Extra-Curricular Activities, which pupils are encouraged to participate in.

Benefits of participating in extra mural activities include;

  • The physical and health aspects, which have a direct positive impact on one’s mental health
  • Increased confidence and self-esteem
  • Improved social skills, including team-building, communication, dealing with setbacks and defeats
  • Development of leadership skills
  • An understanding of healthy competition and true sportsmanship

Over the years, our pupils have achieved numerous awards and accolades in their respective activities, with the Academy taking part in a number of inter-school tournaments. Our pupils excel year-after-year at the Eisteddfods in both English and Afrikaans, receiving a number of Prestige and Gold certificates in the various categories.

Pottery, Wiggle & Jam, Soccer Starz, and Dancing lessons are provided by external parties, who offer these activities on the Academy premises.  If for some reason, there is not enough interest in a particular Extra-Curricular Activity, the Academy may decide not to offer that activity until there is increased interest.
