We are unbelievably excited for the 34th edition of the Saints Sports Festival. This year we look forward to welcoming eight sporting codes to our beautiful school for a jam-packed, fun-filled Festival.

The fun begins with the Prep Festival from 6 – 8 April 2017 and ends with the College Festival taking place over the Easter weekend (12, 13, 15, 17 April 2017). There will be wonderful entertainment and, of course, captivating school sport. We hope you are ready.

The Festival will be "cashless" with the help of our sponsor Standard Bank: we will be using contactless "Tap & Go" cards. If you don’t have a contactless "Tap & Go" card (from any bank), Standard Bank will issue prepaid contactless chip and PIN branded MasterCards at the Festival every day. Note: All credit and debit cards will be accepted for payment at the Festival.

Recovery centres

We will also have recovery centres at the Festival which our hard-working players can use. These will be run by InSide Active. The services available at the recovery centres include ice baths, sport massages, strapping, stretching, Pepto Pro recovery drinks, and more. There will also be three specialist practioners available namely, physiotherapists, biokineticists, and sport massage therapists.
