Congratulations to all pupils who were awarded for their contributions to our winter sporting programme. Assemblies such as these give us the platform to acknowledge the efforts and passion that our pupils display in the sporting sphere.

One of our Kingswood Junior musicians, Victor took part in the Makhanda National Music Competition last week. There were five competitors in the preliminary rounds (mostly from Gqeberha). He proceeded to the semi-final round on Saturday morning, where he was chosen to perform in the final prestige concert on Saturday evening.
The anticipated hype around the K-Day fixture was played out in front of a packed audience on Saturday. Both teams gave their all from the very start in a brutally intense encounter.
