The work on our full-sized Hockey Astroturf has begun.  There is great excitement in the air about the prospect of our students being able to train and compete on a world-class hockey facility. 

 

Today we launched our fund-raising drive for the hockey Astroturf that we will start building later this month. We have a fund-raising target of R500 000, which is a huge challenge, but one we can meet together as the full school community. We already have R50 000 towards this goal!
