Grantleigh
paddlers
Saturday, 24 February 2018 saw the first Surfski Series
race for 2018 (a series of eight races on Saturdays)
where six Grantleigh learners participated. The course
involved a 6-km paddle that included beaching,
paddling into a small craft harbour and around a buoy
and back. The school is hoping to see more learners
join in and take part at future events.
St Dominics Newcastle also wishes to congratulate
Lisa Conradie who competed in the KwaZulu-Natal
Tent-pegging Championship. She was selected
for the KZN under 14B tent-pegging team and
represented KZN in Jacobsdal where the South
African Tent-pegging Championship took place –
quite an achievement considering that she is only
9 years old!

Awards ceremony
At the annual sports and cultural awards ceremony Grantleigh acknowledged learners who have excelled in various sports and
cultural activities.
The Asher Wood trophy for service to the school through sport is awarded to a learner who has made the most of the
opportunities presented to them on the sports field. This learner has not necessarily been selected for the highest accolades,
but has represented Grantleigh in a number of different sports with enthusiasm and dedication.
