The final day's play was at the Lost City course and scoring was individual Stableford, with the best three scores to count for the team total. As the players got to know each other better over the four days of play, the standard of sportsmanship and camaraderie portrayed by all participants was a credit to the schools they represented. The event is not only about the golf but about meeting new friends and renewing old acquaintances. Tuks yet again proved to be the outstanding team of the week, winning a closely contested competition by one point over Hoerskool Waterkloof. Dainfern College proved to be the dark horse of the tournament, producing a fantastic four-day performance to end third by five points. St Albart's College, Paul Roos and Whitgift School from the UK competed for places in the top 10.
The hosts, St John's College, produced some steady golf throughout the week to end in eighth position. This was the Tuks Sport High School's second consecutive victory. The only other school to take the title twice is George's Hoerskool Outeniqua, who won in it 2006 and 2009.
