ATHLETICS
We believe in mass participation at Beaumont. All athletes get the opportunity to participate in our Interhouse Athletics meeting to gain points for their teams. This meeting is held at the beginning of the year on our sports field and is preceded by a sifting process during school time to ensure that all learners get an opportunity to take part.
After this meeting, we participate in the annual quadrangular Interschools against De Hoop, Hendrik Louw and SWPS which is sponsored by Benbel. Our athletes compete against top athletes from neighbouring schools and the schools gain points for the achievements of its athletes, resulting in a winning school at the end of the day. Our athletes achieve excellent individual results at this meeting.
Beaumont also presents two meetings on an annual basis; the Prestige meeting with numerous schools attending, as well as the “Welpie” meeting for the Foundation Phase learners, once again with a number of schools attending the meeting.
We use outside coaches to assist us with the coaching of some of the events.
We are proud of our athletes who participate annually at higher levels. We often have athletes who represent Western Province at the National Championships.
