In the Junior College, all students are introduced to athletics during the athletics season in Term 1 and Term 3. This activity is incorporated into our integrated sports lessons as well as Physical Education classes, providing our budding athletes with additional practice. We focus on fun and teamwork.<\/p>\n
The athletics season at Woodlands commences with the Inter-House Athletics Competition which takes place in Term 3. The competition between the three Houses (Hawks, Falcons and Eagles) is always fierce. From the individual sprint races to the long-distance races, high jump, long jump and even shot put, every child puts in their best effort for their House. The relays are always exciting, with the Houses cheering the teams on from the stands, under the guidance of the enthusiastic cheerleaders.<\/p>\n
The athletes finishing in the top positions at the Inter-House meeting are then selected to represent Woodlands at the inter-schools athletics meetings. These meetings include both formal D6 meetings as well as a host of friendly meets. We also host our own annual Woodlands Day-Night Track event. From the formal Inter-Primary Athletics Meeting, athletes can be chosen to represent our region in the regional D6 and may even progress to represent the Ekurhuleni Provincial Team which participates in the inter-provincial championships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
