The Indoor Hockey girls played a total of 6 matches against: St Johns, Howick, TWC, Epworth,St Annes and Treverton.  All the games were played at a frantic pace with both teams trying desperately to outplay the other.  Girls' High must be commended on an excellent team spirit as well as sound and determined structural performances which allowed their clinical strikers to convert.  The Green Machine scored a total of 33 goals and conceeded only 5.  Sine Zungu was outstanding all season ending on an 11 goal contribution to her team's total.

The Waterpolo girls played a total of 5 games against Epworth, Treverton, TWC, St Johns and St Annes. Again it was an intense season during which the girls worked exceptionally hard, under new coach Jolene Joubert, to maintain a high standard.  A total of 50 goals were scored and 11 were conceeded. A number of our waterpolo players were selected for Midlands Teams. Carmelle Smith and Jade Swanepoel went on to be selected for the KZN U16A Team and Zoe Holder was selected as a non travelling reserve forthe KZN U14A Team.
