Willow Academy /Harvest Derby Day

Aug 8, 2024

What a celebration of sportsmanship and camaraderie we experienced on Saturday! Preparations for this special day began early in the year when we realized we would not be able to use the sports facilities we had relied on for so many years. Taking a leap of faith, we decided to host this year’s derby on the Willow Academy premises.

This year was notably different as all the attending schools came together in unity. Even though it was a competitive environment, we all shared the common goal of celebrating school spirit in a God-honoring manner. While Willow Academy did not take home the derby cup, we are incredibly proud of our teams who played their hearts out and truly represented us with pride. Our Willovian learners showed true spirit with their songs and cheerleading – it was indeed a proud moment.

We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our sponsors – Figtree Spar, Nissan EC, Continental Butchery, IPC Properties, Neecos Fiesta Stretch Tents, Radio Kingfisher, Pieter Killian, Jamie Breetzke, and Mrs. Shanaaz van Rooyen from Sanlam. Without your support, this day would not have been possible.
