The Department of Sport and Recreation appreciates and embraces the crucial role that sport plays in the lives and development of our youth, especially in promoting the health and the self-esteem of our young people. We are also mindful of the importance of sport in promoting social cohesion and inclusion in society and community life. We will continue utilise sport for peace and development and as tool to contribute to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Sport and recreation programs and activities promotes, “A Healthy Society Built on Athletic Spirit”, and reaffirms our belief that sport and physical education play a key role in the development of fundamental cognitive skills of young people. It is for that reason that we continue to pursue the schools sport agenda. Embedding the provision of sport-based programs and quality physical education is vital to talent identification and development. The outcomes of our transformation report from 2013 to date as well as our National Federations Transformation barometer indicates that Schools Sport is the only platform that we can utilise in transforming sport in South Africa. Schools Sport is therefore fundamentally the bedrock for future growth and development of the sector.We concede that the promotion and provision of opportunities for recreational and leisure activities relies on the availability of spaces where these activities can take place. Hence our determined drive for consolidation of all available resource to deliver facilities and maintenance of such within sustainable human settlements. Many athletes in this country are a product of school sport. Some are from humble backgrounds, and yet they have achieved great heights. These athletes are an inspiration to our young stars who are participating at this National Schools Athletics Championships, which is the breeding ground for future top athletes. It is for this reason that the Department is proud of all learners taking part in the national athletics championships. Through such activities, we also hope that values of hard work, respect for authority, and team loyalty can be developed. We believe that the interaction with other learners during a game, or even a social event after the game, helps to break social barriers, and builds respect for authority and the “rules of the game”. Finally, we wish to thank parents, teachers, coaches and technical officials for the support given to our hard working learners by facilitating their participation in these games. We wish to urge all to continue to play their part in building a winning nation.Best wishes for a successful National Athletics Championships.

SA Schools Athletics 5
Athletics South Africa is excited by the National Primary Schools Track and Field Championships which will be hosted in Port Elizabeth by the South African Schools Association (SASA) from 10-12 March 2016.We are excited because the future of the country’s athletics begins here.There will be excitement all around amongst students, teachers, parents, coaches and the public as athletes chase glory for their respective provinces and schools. These Championships present coaches, teachers and ASA, with the perfect opportunity to test how far the many hours of development and preparations have come.It is also an opportunity for our young South African athletes to learn about the joys of winning and the pain of losing gracefully. This Championship is also about getting kids to run together, play together and measure their level of talent. After this, when we look back, we will know how much more we still have to work on developing our youth and also see how much we have achieved so far. At the end of it all, for many of the kids, the greatest thing about the Championships experience, will be just about making new friends.

The National Anthem
Nkosi Sikelele’ iAfrikaMaluphakanyisw’ uphondo lwayo,
Yizwa imithandazo yethu,Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo.Morena boloka setshaba sa heso,O fedise dintwa le matshwenyeho,
O se boloke, O se boloke setshaba sa heso,Setshaba sa South Afrika
Uit die blou van onse hemel,Uit die diepte van ons see,Oor ons ewige gebergtes,
Waar die kranse antwoord gee,
Sounds the call to come together,And united we shall stand,
Let us live and strive for freedom,In South Africa our land.
Athlete’s Oath
The competing teams do solemnly promise and undertake toWear their colours and compete in honour of their individuals teams,
With diligence, without envy;Determined yet courteous;
With full strength, yet always humane.
Since the main aim in life is not winning but perseverance;Not the result but the aspiration;Not the reward but the attitude
The formative value of sport has meaning even for the looser,Because in winning, winners sometimes experience the greatest defeat,
While many losers often leave the pool as winners over themselves,Both spiritually, disciplined and strengthened.
When our maker one day records your nameHe will not record your winnings or losses
But instead your disposition during the competition.
Continuous effort – not strength or intelligenceIs the key to unlocking your true potential
-Winston Churchill-
SA Schools Athletics 17
