Interschool

We didn’t do too badly at Interschool however we could have done better. We finished fourth overall but it’s worth noting that in the field events on the first day we were first. So congratulations to the children who tried their best and participated, we had a number of athletes who did very well and went further. You can view the photos on our facebook book page or at this Link

Thank you to all the parents that came to watch our Interhouse Athletics – unfortunately our pavilion hasn’t been completed yet so it was a little difficult to keep everyone is one place. Despite this we saw parents assisting and helping the staff keep children off the track and generally being good sports! To the parents thank you very much for this. We’ve put some of the photos up you can get them here

Thanks to all the parents and children who attended and participated in the gala. We had a great day and the weather was brilliant for swimming. Unfortunately we were only able to capture photos an hour into the event so if you have any photo’s you’d like us to include in the gallery, you can send them to computers(at)amps.za.com or alternatively drop off a cd at the office.

As always we’ve posted the gallery on our Facebook and Google+ pages

It was a fun day!!!

We would like to hold our Interhouse Swimming Gala on Wednesday, the 27^th of February (weather permitting) at the Kempton Park Municipal Pool from 14:00 to 17:00.

There are many children in our school who are able to swim and I would really like to encourage them to participate in this fun event.

Every child who swims will earn points for their house, per event.  3 sports ribbons will be awarded to the winners in each event.  The first 6 swimmers for each event will also receive extra house points.  Trophies will be awarded in Assembly to the best Junior and Senior boy and girl swimmers.

Please download and print the swimming letter if you don’t already have it (complete the tear off slip please)

We’ve added the Interschool Photos you can find them on our Google+ page and Facebook Page. Congratulations to the athletes who managed to place AMPS second out of the Seven Schools who participated. Monday was really really hot and Tuesday morning was just as cold but despite the extremes in temperature  the athletes and coaches did a great job. We hosted the event this year and are happy to say everything went very well!
