The major sports (cricket, hockey, rugby and water polo) are given the opportunity to arrange an overseas trip each year on a rotational basis, which is regulated by the overseas tour policy.
Rondebosch A teams attend domestic festivals and tournaments as frequently as reasonably possible, which keeps our teams and coaches in touch with the national standards of sports in different age groups and makes Rondebosch more competitive. It is also seen as an important aspect of the broad learning experience that is offered at Rondebosch.
These trips are regulated by the school’s domestic tour policy.
