💫RGS South Africa Sports Tour 2025💫
As our October Half Term trips are underway, we're reflecting on the Summer South Africa RGS Sport tour.
In August, our senior students embarked on an unforgettable 15-day tour that blended competitive sport, cultural immersion, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
From thrilling fixtures in rugby, netball and hockey against top South African schools, to sunrise beach recoveries, game drives, surfing, and treetop ziplining - the trip was jam-packed with memorable moments.
💬 Student Highlights:
“The South Africa 2025 tour was an experience I will truly never forget… Playing in a completely different country pushed us to raise our game, and it was great to see our teamwork and training pay off.” – Chioma O, Y13
“The game drive was a highlight - seeing animals up close is something I feel immensely lucky to have experienced.” – Tabitha A, Y13
“The intensity of the games really stood out… but more than anything, the laughs, the long days together, and the pride of pulling on the RGS shirt made it an experience to remember.” – Ed S, Y13
“It was the perfect balance of competitive sport, embracing local culture, and spending time with friends.” – Olivia L, Y12
A heartfelt thank you to all the teaching staff who made this incredible tour possible. Special thanks to Mr Moore, Teacher of Digital Technology and Computer Science and Miss Fisher, Graduate Sports Assistant for capturing some fantastic tour photography 📸.
To those considering the next South Africa tour, reflect on the words of our Year 13 students "Go for it. You’ll return with lifelong memories, stronger friendships, and a deeper appreciation for sport and culture".
