It gives us great pleasure to announce the recipients of Summer Sports Awards for the 2020–2021 season.

In 2020, a decision was made to not to give awards in the Winter or Final Colours Awards assemblies. The reason for this was a lack of inter-school, provincial and national competitions for students to compete in.

In 2020, we awarded Certificates of Sporting Excellence to our Matric students who had been outstanding in their chosen winter sport. A similar system has therefore been applied to summer sports for this season.

The Boys’ and Girls’ College Colours Committees have had another extremely difficult decision this year, after a season in which only certain summer sporting codes have been allowed to compete locally, at a provincial level and at a national level, for various reasons and sporting changes around the pandemic.

Congratulations, One and All!
