Let's Play: Sports Star of the Month


Let’s Play in association with Community newspapers have launched a special initiative to give recognition to learners at either Primary or High school, who excel in sport.

Play, physical education and sport are foundational to the holistic development of children and an initiative of this nature will establish a healthier community and encourage sports activity

Schools wishing to participate in this initiative should submit a short letter with a motivation to their respective regional newspaper about why their learner should be the Sport Star of the Month.
