With such variety, each girl will find a sporting activity that ignites her.

Sport matters. We build strong teams that compete with top schools in Gauteng and beyond. There's more to sport than just winning.

“One of the things I enjoy about Holy Rosary School is the sport since there are a lot of options. Once you join a team, you get to meet different people, either at matches or during practices. You get to make a lot of new friends.” TANA

Where Will You Shine?

We understand that healthy bodies build strong minds. Each girl finds an activity she enjoys.  Some girls strive to win the trophy and others just enjoy a run.

I wish I was in this school

“When I came to this school for a netball match in Grade 3 I said, “I wish I was in this school”. Five years later I got in and I was so happy because it was my dream school. From the teachers to the sport, I have loved it all.”
JENNIFER
