About bragging big and standing together.


 About bragging big and standing together.

By: Abigail Combink


"It takes a moment to make a memory and a lifetime to forget it”…It takes one person to shoot a goal but a whole team to conquer a match.

Today we as Girls’ Highers were truly able to cherish every moment with our remarkable Hockey and Netball players during the unforgettable 'Big Brag' event.  

 

Alongside our sisters, we can finally celebrate the opportunity to reward our diligence with the remarkable privilege of competing against our opponents during Interschools. With the final day of Interschools slowly creeping around the corner, we must strive to fully embrace these last few moments of this annual event as the fierce unity the ‘Jade Army’ truly is.

 

With just two hours separating the final matches of the first teams of Interschools 2022, we are confident that both our first teams will lead Paarl Girls’ High to victory.

Led by Adri Carstens, our Netball first team will compete against their counterparts from Paarl Gymnasium. Captain of the Hockey first team, Zanke Nell will then lead her team to the final glorious victory on the Girls’ High astro. 

To our first teams: When you feel your lungs start to burn, and your legs cannot carry you anymore, remember all your sisters that are supporting you next to the astro and next to the netball quarts. Let them carry you to victory, because we’re backing you all the way!

 

With God's grace upon the interschool's events, may every learner take part in their matches fully relying on His strength to enjoy, embrace and celebrate the abilities given to them.

Dit is ook sekerlik die vraag wat van die o.13A hokkiespelertjies vanaand vra, soos hulle lywe en hul harte seer is.  Vanaand se o.13A hokkie wedstryd was ‘n titaniese stryd. Die eindtelling van 0-5 weerspieël nie die harde werk van die dogters nie. Daar is nie doekies om te draai nie, die span van Gimnasium was ‘n besondere sterk en gedetermineerde span. Hulle het gekom om te wen.  Hulle het egter nie gereken op die hardnekkig weerstand en verdediging wat ons o.13 A-span geopenbaar het nie. Gimnasium se middelveld-spelers het van die begin af druk op ons geplaas. As toeskouer het jy daar gesit en naels gebyt. Het mens dit nie al so baie vantevore in sulke hoё druk wedstryde gesien nie? As sulke gedetermineerde speler...
