Athletics at Hoërskool John Vorster
Athletics is one of the most versatile and exciting sports at Hoërskool John Vorster. Learners have the opportunity to compete across a wide range of track and field events — from sprints and hurdles to long jump, high jump, and distance running. The athletics season takes place during the first term, with interschool meetings, regional competitions, and provincial events on the programme.
Our athletics team is known for their perseverance and team spirit — qualities that are directly reflected in our school motto: Volhard en Oorwin. Every learner, from beginner to top athlete, is welcomed and supported to reach their full potential.
