22 February 2024

Curro hosted yet another trilling chapter in our athletics saga. The Curro Podium grand finale event from this past weekend lived up to the anticipation from staff and learners across South Africa! Participating schools include Curro Hazeldean, Windhoek Gymnasium, Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool (Affies), Oranje Meisieskool, and more.

 

A message from Cobus Loubser, Curro CEO

We hosted the first Curro Podium Athletics meeting in February last year. This was so successful that we expanded Podium to a series of three events, with two regional North and South events and today’s final. Thank you to all the schools who are participating - your enthusiasm and support for the Podium series have been overwhelming,

Each of you exerted yourself in countless hours of training to reduce your times by fractions of a second or to add crucial millimetres to pursue your goals. It is this discipline and dedication to your goals and dreams that inspire us all, not just whether you win a race or set a record. Success then is not winning, but the accomplishment of your goal. The simple and pure satisfaction of saying: I did what I set out to do!
