St Peter’s College Sport and Cultural festival was founded in 2002. This year’s festival, the seventh, is being held on the 17th, 18th and 19th of September 2010.

The festival offers a unique mix of sports and cultural events and is arguably the largest high school sports and cultural festival in the country.

It attracts a diverse learner population from previously disadvantaged schools, former Model C schools as well as independent schools.

The festival attracts some 40 schools comprising over 100 teams and has the participation of approximately 1,500 children and of course their spectators each day in the three day programme.

Participating schools come from Cape Town, Durban, Nelspruit, Mafikeng, Bloemfontein, Pietermaritzburg, Pretoria, and East London and as far afield as Mozambique and Zimbabwe.

Some of the activities which have been included in the past are:

• Soccer for boys and girls
• Basketball for boys and girls
• Netball
• Dance and music
• Debate
• Poetry
• Visual arts
• Performing arts

The St. Peter’s team looks forward to seeing you all at the festival and thank you in advance for your willingness to help us ensure the success of this, our Annual Sports & Cultural Festival.

In 2007 after getting frustrated at the lack of information about the game he loved in South Africa, Victor decided to start Mybasketball and he hasn't looked back. For close to 15 years, Victor has experienced the game as a player, a coach, a spectator and now from a media perspective. The whole purpose of Mybasketball is to keep the fans informed about the game and anything related to it; whether it is here in SA, Africa or Overseas. Victor has made some great friends along the way and rekindled some amazing friendships through the game.. Some of those friends have joined him on this crusade to make basketball better for everyone, and he looks forward to a South Africa where basketball gets the credit it deserves and the focus is on youth development and improving the coaches.
