On 22 February 2017 about 8 families with approximately
14 children of different ages from the Swartland Group joined the greater Cape Town group of homeschoolers taking part in the SACSSA Athletics under the Cape Home Educators banner at the Jan Burger Sports Park in Parow North.

Some photo's of the day
Of our group 4 qualified to take part in the Provincial Athletics meet on 3 March 2017. Of the whole Cape Home Educators group, homeschoolers qualified for 196 events!
On the day of the Provincial meet, 50 homeschoolers took part and went home with 28 gold, 26 silver and 13 bronze medals.
Only 2 of our students took part in the Provincial Athletics meet on a much cooler day, both winning Gold in their respective items. (Turbo Javelin and 600m)
Congratulations girls! These two not only share the memory of winning gold but have also forged a lifelong friendship which now spans over 1000km!
