Welcome to the Reach For The Top / Schoolreach Programme Website
Each year several hundred schools form their "Reach" Clubs and play off against each other at the league level, provincial level, and finally, the National level. The Provincial and National finals in which these Schoolreach teams compete are taped as "Reach for the Top", the television show that started it all. In the classroom, it's the "Schoolreach Subscription Programme" of "Reach For The Top", established in 1985.
