Squash

Squash continues to be a very popular sport at St Mary's, as can be seen by the number of girls who participate in social squash.

Pupils from Grade 4 upwards are invited to join the St Mary’s squash club to learn the game. The squash club meets twice a week during term time. Once serving is mastered, a girl can advance to the intermediate section.

In the second term teams are entered in the Junior Schools League, and St Mary’s has often fielded as many as four teams in this league. A few girls have been eligible for provincial selection. Mini squash for Grades 1, 2 and 3 is also proving to be very popular.

Our senior squash teams continue to be strong contenders in the Joburg Junior Squash League. In 2023, our girls won the Joburg Top Schools tournament and placed 7th at the National Top Schools Tournament. We are proud to have a number of girls represent our province at inter-provincial tournaments.
