Our Blouberg Campus students had an exciting time in Phys Ed as they took part in their very own Mini World Cup.

The playground came alive with energy, teamwork and big smiles as each group proudly represented their “countries”. From enthusiastic cheers to determined play, it was wonderful to see our students enjoying movement, building team spirit and celebrating the joy of sport.

A fantastic display of fun, friendship and healthy competition.

Our Grade 000 to Grade 3 students took to the course with great excitement, energy and determination for our Blouberg Campus Cross Country.

A very special well done to our Grade 00 students, who completed their very first cross country race. What a proud and memorable moment for our youngest runners, who showed such courage and enthusiasm from start to finish.

There was wonderful house spirit throughout the morning, with cheers, smiles and plenty of encouragement along the way.

Congratulations to our winning houses:
1st place: Sapphire
2nd place: Ruby
3rd place: Emerald

Well done to all our students for running with such heart and joy.

The Grade 000 and Grade 00 students at the Sunningdale Campus had a wonderfully exciting visit from Giraffe House.

The children met a variety of fascinating reptiles and creatures, with some even having the chance to gently touch them. There were curious questions, lively conversations and plenty of excitement as our young students learned more about these remarkable animals.

What a fun and memorable hands-on learning experience for our Pre-Prep students.

We are delighted to celebrate Xanthi Georgiades, a proud Elkanah House alumna whose journey with our school began in 1997, when she joined the Blouberg Campus at just three years old in Grade 000.

Xanthi’s Elkanah story continued all the way through to matric in 2012, where she had the privilege of serving as Deputy Head Girl. Her 15 years at Elkanah House were shaped by friendship, leadership, belonging and the strong sense of community that remains such an important part of who we are.

After school, Xanthi went on to study Corporate Communications before moving to London, where she lived and worked for two and a half years. On returning to South Africa, she founded her own social media agency, The Digital Collar, helping businesses grow, connect and strengthen their online presence.

Today, Xanthi is a proud mom to two beautiful daughters, one of whom is currently in Grade 1 at Elkanah House. Seeing her daughter walk the same halls and experience the same warmth, care and community that shaped her own school journey has been incredibly special.

What a joy it is to see the Elkanah story continue across generations. Xanthi, we are so proud of all you have achieved and honoured that Elkanah House will always feel like family to you.

To celebrate the end of Term 2, Mrs Ilse Pretorius and her tutor boys enjoyed a relaxed afternoon of connection and camaraderie. Lunch at Bossa set the tone for a wonderful outing, followed by a spirited and highly competitive game of Padel.

It was a fitting way to end the term, with good food, great company and plenty of friendly rivalry.
