North vs South Swimming

 

 

 

 

Thornhill hosted this year’s North vs South Gala on Friday 15 and Saturday 16 March. It was a very festive occasion with the school being decorated in blue and yellow and black and orange, and the anticipation of strong competition was in the air. RocoMama’s provided burgers for the children near the tennis court area and there was face and nail painting to help add lots of colour to the event.

The event was made possible through our very generous sponsors – Spar, Pharma Group, Nissan, Marlin Kids, PST, RocoMamas, YM Online and TGA. We would like to thank all the above sponsors for generously supporting swimming in Botswana.

We had a large contingent of swimmers, with 35 out of the 65 children, who represented the South, coming from Thornhill.

The gala was very competitive and swum in very good spirit.

The following children from Thornhill were age group champions:

U11 Girls: Jade Chilisa

U11 Boys: Ewan De Beer

U12 Boys: Joash Kurewa

U13 Boys: Leruo Bakwena

The Southern team were the overall winners of this gala and our thanks to all involved in the planning and organisation of this gala.

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Thornhill Primary School website, filled with information which, we hope, will attract your interest and serve to give a sense of the rich flavour of life at our school.
