Die Grondslagfase het op 3 Februarie hul jaarlikse atletiekbyeenkoms by die skool gehou. Dit was ‘n feestelike atmosfeer met al die stalletjies, ouers en grootouers wat hierdie byeenkoms bygewoon het. Al die leerders het aan die atletiek deelgeneem en so is massadeelname verseker. Die belangrikste was deelname en nie posisie nie. Ons eerste plekleerders het trofeë vir hul verskillende ouderdomsgroepe ontvang.

EDGEMEAD PRIMARY SCHOOL Official opening of the new EPS cricket nets EPS’s four new cricket nets were officially opened on 8 February. Many teachers, coaches and cricket players gathered excitedly to witness ex-pupil and current Western Province player Kyle Verreyne batting in the nets. Mr Stokell (principal) bowled the first delivery. He was followed by many boys (and a girl) who fancied their chances of bowling a professional out. The four new nets will enable more pupils to participate actively in practice sessions and have already been used extensively.
