The dream is to change this… 
…to this! 
A multi purpose sports facility that all ISCT students can enjoy.
The area to be covered will be 80 x 29 m – each sport will have their own colour lines on which to play.
- Soccer – the field will be divided into two 7 aside fields accommodating both girls and boys soccer.
- The field will have 4 netball courts.
- Athletics lines can be added when needed.
- PE classes will be held on the new playing field.
Why raise funds for a new multi-sports facility?
- Safety – ISCT currently does 15 trips per week to the local Military base with 109 students requiring off site transport on the busiest day.
- Improved on-site facilities – the new field will enable ISCT to host matches and encourage more children to play.
- On-site matches will ease the burden on the school and parents for transporting pupils.
- Break time activities – children can be active though out the day.
- Health and safety – a cleaner, safer and more enjoyable play area for our children.
How much money do we need to raise?
Over 2 million Rand is required to complete this project. ISCT has secured support from the Educational Trust based in the UK, but ISCT must also fundraise.
What has been achieved so far?
Funds raised by the Big Walk 2019 were used to turf the Middle Tier of Woodland Heights fields. This area is now a smart, beautiful and easily-maintained surface. The new surface requires so little maintenance that ground-staff’s time is freed up to manage our luscious gardens.
What next?
Funds raised at the Founders’ Day Spring Fair will go towards the astro turf for the Lower Tier, with the exception of funds for KS1 STEAM project and Y11’s own initiatives. This year we took the decision to sell tickets to the Spring Fair for the first time, to get investment from corporate event sponsors, and to elevate the Fair to a new level of entertainment.
We aim to continue our relationships with our sponsors and develop advertising hoards around the field.
Sport and the future of South Africa
ISCT believes in the future of South Africa and we believe the best way to move SA forward is by providing our children with a holistic education, one built around academia and supported by both cultural and sporting facilities. Providing our children with this holistic approach to education will equip them with skills needed to face an ever-changing work place.
