We offer soccer for our learners. The age groups are under-16 boys and over-16 boys. Interest in soccer is growing as more and more Under-16 boys are interested in playing.

  •          Basic jump with 2 feet together.

Netball

Athletics

We have athletics taking place on an annual basis. This is the main sporting code of the school. We have an annual Fun Day where the entire school participates. On this day our sports team will be selected to compete at the Western Cape trails. In 2022 we had one learner namely Ju-wyne Witbooi participating in the 2022 Games that took place in Mpumalanga.

Table-Tennis

Table tennis is a summer code that takes place in the 1st and 4th term. This year we had 3 learners making the Western Province team.

Drilling

We participated in the Drilling Competition at Lavender Hill Cares Sports Complex. The team consist of 18 Drilling Cadets. This code is an annual event on our school calendar. We are currently the only LSEN school participating in the Western Province drilling competition.

Educational Outings

Educational outings are linked to the curriculum and we try to have one at least once a term. It is a fun and practical way to experience the curriculum. The learners then can interact with the public and to experience and appreciate the use of public spaces.

Socialisation and expressing talent

Learners enjoy showing their appreciation of singing and dancing, modelling, and reciting prose. Learners are comfortable on stage, and they are given the opportunity to shine. These are fun times, and many hidden talents are brought to the fore. These are the occasions when everyone’s hearts burst with pride.
