Schedule 2010

Note:
The FIFA Soccer World Cup will take place in South Africa between 11 June and 11 July 2010. Loftus Versfeld is one of the official venues and during the World Cup the area surrounding the stadium, including the University of Pretoria, will be governed by FIFA rules and regulations. A 2010 match schedule is available at: http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/index.html

The traditional "UP with SCIENCE winter week" will therefore move to March/April for Groups K & L (grade 11 and 12 learners) and to the spring break (27 Sept - 1 Oct) for the new group, the Murray and Roberts group.
