Athletics:
Athletics is a summer sport for boys and girls.  All learners participating in athletics are expected to be dressed in the prescribed athletics wear.
All learners participate strictly according to their age groups. If there is no item in their age group, they are allowed to participate in an older age group.
During the fourth term we have an inter-house athletics meeting for track and field events. The learners are chosen for the school team during this meeting.
During the first term the Foundation Phase Athletics Evening gives all u/6 to u/9 learners the opportunity to participate.
 Practice times: Monday, Wednesday & Thursday 07:00 – 07:30
Cricket:
Cricket is a summer sport for boys from ages under 7 to under 13.
All boys will take part in their age group, but may be chosen for an older age group. All teams will be chosen on merit.
Sports wear for cricket and mini-cricket players is as follows: White De Kuilen golf shirt, green shorts, grey De Kuilen socks and white takkies. This applies to practice and match days.
Cross Country Running:
Cross country running is a sport in which teams and individuals run a race on open-air courses over natural terrain. The course for primary school learners is typically 1,5 – 5 kilometers long. It may include surfaces of grass and earth, pass through fields or open country, and may include gentle hills, flat ground and sometimes gravel road. Runners are judged on individual times and a points scoring method at the end of the season to determine participation at provincial and/or regional level. Learners from grade 3 (age 9) up to grade 7 compete in cross country, which usually takes place during winter (terms 2 and 3), and can include weather conditions of rain, sunshine, wind , and a wide range of temperatures. Cross country running is one of the disciplines under the umbrella of athletics(see extra mural timetable) , more specific long-distance track and road running.
We practise on Tuesday & Thursdays from 07:00 – 07:30 on our sports fields. Races take place on a Friday after school at a venue as determined by Western Province Athletics. Learners must wear our school’s PE clothes during practice and for races. Parents must ensure that learners are picked up soon after arrival back at school at around 17:00.
