Athletics takes place during the 1st and 4th terms. Our first meeting, Sports Day, is held early in the year to identify and encourage potential athletes. This is a colourful event of rivalry between the two houses, Arnott and Daly.
The athletics team trains in the summer under the watchful eye of the coaches. Youngsters who perform well, progress from having been chosen to represent the Camdeboo team, to the next level of selection, the Karoo and then the Sarah Baartman team. The final round of trials is for the selection of a team to represent the Eastern Cape at the National Inter Provincial meeting held each year.
