Athlone Primary School Pietermaritzburg

Monday was a fantastic day out for our Grade 7s!😎☀️

Our learners had an absolute blast on their fun paddle outing, enjoying plenty of laughter, teamwork and a little bit of friendly competition along the way!

It was wonderful to see them embracing the adventure, supporting one another and simply enjoying time together outside the classroom. These are the moments and memories they’ll treasure long after their school days are over.

Here’s to friendship, fun and unforgettable Grade 7 memories!

What an incredible morning of sport. We won some and we lost some, but most importantly our boys and girls showed such team spirit. We are so proud of how all our children played today. Here are a few pictures of some of our Hockey boys.

The Senior Primary athletes brought the energy, excitement and determination to the field this week! 🏅✨

There were fast feet, fierce competition, loud cheers and plenty of proud moments along the way. From personal bests to supporting a friend across the finish line, our learners showed us what true sportsmanship is all about. ❤️

A day filled with courage, perseverance, laughter and unforgettable memories! 🎉

Well done to each and every athlete — you made us proud! 👏🏆
