1st Team Rugby moves into the big Leagues
The Lilyfontein School 1ST XV played against Stirling 1st XV on 6 March 2014. The boys showed a lot of guts and character in the game. It was the first time in Lilyfontein history that the 1st XV played against a bigger school’s 1st XV. The boys carried the Lilyfontein name high and really made the school proud. Well done to all the boys that played in that game.
This group is preparing for the great Amatola Hike. We started our journey from Lilyfontein School and made our way to the beach from where we headed straight to Gonubie – rain, sunshine and wind didn’t dent our spirits.
Are we there yet? Kelsey Yelsef, Tristan-Lee Niemand, Ramu Malaudzi, Michael King and Nathan Campbell.
Band Day
Band Day was held on 1st March for all Grade 6-12 learners involved in either steel drum or marimba bands. We moved our instruments out under the Flamboyant trees in the front quad and then proceeded to make music! Interspersed with some hilarious team building games we managed to learn two new pieces that combined both steel pans and marimbas, Chariots of Fire and the Taco Bell Canon (apologies to Pachelbel). After several practising sessions, we played the new songs for the parents who gathered in the quad to hear the results of our day!
