Description
Bellville High School annually participates in the MTBS athletics competition, along with three other schools from the Bellville area: D.F. Malan, Tygerberg and Stellenberg. MTBS is especially well known for the performance of these schools' non-participating pupils on the pavilion as they perform songs and cheers to encourage their athletes during the day - for which a trophy is also awarded. Bellville has won this singing section in 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2008.
In 2006 the school's team won the national SAGE competition in entrepreneurship when they made and sold items from pillow cases to tissue boxes. The final was in China and despite the contestants parents sometimes being unemployed the team of six flew off to compete after sponsorship was identified by minister Tasneem Essop.
The school also participates in a yearly Interschools event (week long derby) with its local rival D.F. Malan, in which the schools contest on most platforms - including Field hockey, Rugby, Netball, Cross country, Chess, Debate, Mountain biking and, from 2013 onwards, EA Sports FIFA. The first team rugby, hockey and netball matches are the main events. In recent years Bellville has strongly dominated the rugby, with D.F. Malan strongly dominating both Boys' and Girls' hockey (although Bellville won the 2012 girls hockey match).
