Sport At Hermannsburg

Cricket

Although age groups may be combined from time to time, every player has the opportunity to show his mettle in this challenging game of skill and strategy.

Swimming

The first term is the traditional swimming season – our focus here is on supporting individuals to achieve success in their strokes and providing competitive opportunities for them.

Hockey

Boys’ and girls’ hockey is offered from Primary School to High School level. The level of competition is high and the teams perform well against many larger schools. Individuals are regularly selected for representative district and provincial teams.

Rugby

We offer Rugby 7s here at Hermannsburg; a growing game in South Africa and internationally. This allows for important skills development for the game of rugby, but removes much of the danger inherent in 15-man rugby, and it makes it possible for our small school to keep competing against other schools.

Athletics

The main focus of athletics is in the third term. Athletes who excel are afforded the opportunity to compete at zonal and provincial level, and may also attend the KZN and ‘Menlo Park’ meetings during the first term.

Soccer

Soccer has become an increasingly popular sport and matches against other schools are organised in the third term.

Tennis

This sport is open to all age groups and caters for boys and girls wanting to play tennis on a social basis.

Netball

Owing to high demand, we introduced Netball to our sporting programme in 2020, and look forward to seeing the sport grow as our girls develop their skills and teamwork.

Volleyball, Handball and Basketball

These sports do not form part of the general sport curriculum, and are usually offered only in preparation for, and participation in, the biennial Sport Olympiade of the Southern African German Schools.

Fitness Programme

With the Covid-19 disruption on contact and team sport, we have developed a fitness programme that all our scholars take part in.

Trail Running, Mountain Biking & Orientation

These sports are available to all our scholars and are fantastic outdoor activities to make use of our open countryside. We provide mountain bikes for those who don’t have their own.
