Pics of the Hockey and Netball teams (and a rather large bear mascot! 🧸) from our final fixture at Somerset College. #fabuloushosts #sportbringsustogether #roaryistinycomparedtothebear

Final sporting fixtures took place with wonderful hosts at Somerset College (pics to follow in a few days). A tasty braai cooked by their chefs for us all to enjoy alongside some super musical performances. #tourmusicfinale #SAchefsdoameanbraai #parentsloveahashtag

It was great to hear that Mayo’s new trainers enjoyed a good run out in a local event running 10K in 49:29. We wish Mayo all the best with his training towards him completing a half-marathon later in the year. #teachertrainingforhalfmarathon #keeponrunning #kindnesshelpsothers

A huge thank you for the support from @upandrunninguk Cambridge branch for donating a pair of running trainers to Mayo (a teacher at our partnership school in Makhukanye 🇿🇦). We presented him with them; he was over the moon and so grateful for your kindness #sokind #keeponrunning

A lovely write up in the Kouga Express newspaper about St Faith's visit to Makukhanye Primary School and the inauguration of the Makukhanye Medical Center #wyverns

A quick trip through baggage collection and security sees a slightly earlier ETA back @stfaiths (Newton Road) at 07:30 #weareonthecoach #almosthome #wyvernsreturningtobase #seeyousoon

We’ve landed at ✈️ London Heathrow 🇬🇧 and are about to go through security before collecting our luggage. We’ll send another update on our ETA at St Faith’s as soon as we board the coach. #wyvernsalmosthome #getreadyforthehugs #suchanamazingexperienceontourinSA #memoriesforlife

About to board our homeward flight (with ETA of 05:00 early tomorrow morning at Heathrow Airport). A message will be sent out to parents of the group once we then know our ETA back at St Faith’s). #movieorsleep #homewardbound #nightnightweareonourflight #loveyoulotslikejellytots

We’ve landed at Jo’burg Airport and are about to check in to our flight back home. We’ll next update you just before we board the plane (which will be at around 5:15pm GMT). #oneflighttogo #kidsstaffandRoaryTheLionarecominghome #bighugsareontheirway

@edwindoransport Thank you so much to the @edwindoransport team for all your support organising such a wonderful Sport & Music tour in SA. We really appreciated Kevin’s daily catch-ups in Cape Town, for coming to support our tour party during the fixtures and for seeing us off at the airport too.

Our final morning in SA 🇿🇦 before we start the 6009mile journey home. We thought you’d like to sit back, relax & enjoy a morning coffee whilst watching this clip from a few days ago on our visit to Kayamandi. ☕️🥰🎶 #wyvernsknowhowtokeeptothebeat #drumthenclap #timetopackourbags

[St Faith's SA @StFaithsSA]

We’ve checked in and are through security at Cape Town airport. Currently sat at the gate and about to buy lunch before boarding 1st flight. Time to reflect on our wonderful time visiting our friends at Makukhanye School. #circletime #funwithourSAfriends #circlekeepsgrowing

It’s night night from us. A lovely final day on tour and an evening meal with emotional speech night enjoyed by all. 🥰 #lastnightontour #finalstagesofawonderfultrip #wyvernslovetocelebrate #loveyoulotslikejellytots

Staff coffee break and Roary requests a special photo memory (you may need to look closely to find him! 🦁) #stafflattesallround #coffeewithaview #roarylovesSA

A little breezy here, so we updated our plan and visited Signal Hill instead of the cable car. Lovely clear skies meant that Andre, our amazing @hyltonrosstours driver, took us to enjoy the spectacular Cape Town view from above. #aviewfromahill #ourdriverisastar #icecreamsontour

Eco-litter collection on the beach at Cape Town. #wyvernsgooddeed #tourtimelitterpick #lookafterourplanet

[St Faith's SA @StFaithsSA]

Loving breakfast with this view ⛰️ 🏝️🇿🇦 . We’re looking forward to heading up @TableMountainCa today by cable car (interesting fact: the white cloud above it is known as the ‘Table cloth’ 😆) before our final fixture of the tour with Somerset College. #aintnomountainhighenough

[St Faith's SA @StFaithsSA]

A quick play on the beach before boarding the coach to Table Mountain. #wyvernslovesand #beachbeforebus

Goodnight from us all in Cape Town 🇿🇦. Another amazing fun-filled day; night night 🥰. #wyverns #welovecapetownartandmusic #loveyoulotslikejellytots

An amazing meal out @GOLDrestaurant with 14-COURSES for dinner, a bucketful of entertainment and some of our very own Wyvern performers rising to the occasion too. #nosweetstodaysowevegotroomfordinner #dancelikenobodyiswatching #anotherentertainingeveningontour

Chilled by our rooftop pool before venturing to @2OceansAquarium , and then a cheeky shopping trip before a wonderful evening meal #wyvernsfindingnemo #humanpenguins #doubleheadedwyvernturtle #sharkssayinghellotostfaiths
