German International School Cape Town

Our Sport Extramurals

The school offers a variety of sports as extramurals. These are not compulsory, but learners are encouraged to participate in and be committed to at least one extramural after school. 

Participation can be on a purely social level, but the aim is to offer the opportunity to also compete against our neighbouring schools. 

Learners need to re-register for these extramurals online every term. Registration means learner attendance and expressed commitment to the extramural for the entire term.
