Each year the school takes part in one of the biggest interschool events in South Africa against its arch-rival, Paarl Gimnasium High School. The main event (the u/19A rugby match) attracts over 20 000 spectators to the Faure Street Stadium. The school has produced many Springboks, from Boy Louw, Mannetjies Roux and "Prince of Wings" Carel du Plessis, to more recent players like Corné Krige (former Springbok Captain), Gurthro Steenkamp, Frans Malherbe, Thomas du Toit, Salmaan Moerat and Evan Roos.
