Rosslyn Park

The Rosslyn Park National Schools Sevens has evolved into the world's largest rugby tournament with some 7,000 boys and girls aged 13 - 18 competing annually. From its humble beginning in 1939, it has been held every year since, becoming one of the oldest continuous tournaments. Originally it was a knock-out competition for public schools but as interest grew it was extended to include grammar, comprehensive and preparatory schools.

SKRUM are proud to be the charity partner of the Rosslyn Park National Schools Sevens. We can be seen each day with our inflatable rugby challenge game and in 2018 SKRUM will present the Fair Play award for each tournament held.

TESTIMONIALS

One can never find suitable words to use to express our appreciation for the lessons that we get from the SKRUM team. The ever energetic and welcoming team has not only introduced the sport into our school but they have also offered priceless / valuable information on HIV/AIDS and gender based violence. This information is of great help to our students as it creates an awareness about these issues.

Principal | Fonteyn Secondary School
“My time in Swaziland has been amazing. The classroom session was very rewarding because the students responded very well and seemed like they really wanted to improve the situation in Swaziland. Our trip to Mliba High was one of the great SKRUM days that I hope to have many more of throughout my time here.”

Peter Thomas | Volunteer
“The third school that we visited had some very shocking statistics. 75% of all of the students in the primary school are OVCs (orphans) as either one of both parents in most circumstances had been lost to HIV or AIDS. We worked out that, out of 282 students, that meant 212 were orphans! This was so shocking and really did make all of us think that something really has to be done to stop this being a statistic anywhere else.”
