Grantleigh Prep School hosted its annual Interhouse Swim Gala last Friday, welcoming an exciting face-off between the school’s three houses — Orioles (Yellow), Trogons (Green) and Bishops (Red). Learners competed enthusiastically in a full programme of swimming events, cheered on by staff, peers and families who filled the stands with colour and encouragement. The gala celebrated sporting achievement, participation, teamwork and school pride. Bishops House stood out on the day, accumulating the highest number of points and claiming overall victory. Their strong presence in both the pool and the stands also earned them the Spirit Cup, recognising exceptional enthusiasm and support throughout the event.

A special congratulations to our trophy winners:

• Jnr Victrix Lodorum: Lia Sternberg
• Jnr Victor Lodorum: Jack Larsen
• Snr Victrix Lodorum: Amore Terblanche
• Snr Victor Lodorum: Gawie Dippenaar
• House Captains, on behalf of the Bishops: Milena Malherbe de Jesus; Hanno Prinsloo

The gala formed part of the school’s commitment to active, holistic education — nurturing confidence, resilience and a strong sense of belonging from a young age.
