The cheerleaders, dubbed the Generation Griffins, walked away with silver at the WPMCA’s Western Province Championships which feature the best cheerleading squads across the province.

The WPMCA was established in 1981 and is affiliated to the South African Majorettes and Cheerleading Association (SAMCA).

The Griffins represent both Generation Schools Imhoff as well as a cheerleading club in Sunnydale, Cheer & Tumbling Stars (CTS).

“The competition showcased talent from primary schools, high schools, and tertiary institutions — with outstanding performances across every level,” said CTS coach, Samantha Higgins.

People’s Post spoke with a pair of cheerleaders, Ruby Farquar and Addison-Jane Barker-Goldie, who helped their team secure the accolade during this year’s season.

Farquar (Grade 9) and Goldie (Grade 7) both attend Generation Schools Imhoff.
