Today HOCKEY was number ONE for the Grade ONES!

Today the Primary School started the interschools week strong..


The thunder of tiny ‘tekkies’ running down the hall accompanied with giggles of excitement echoed throughout the school as the grade 1s headed up to the Astro hockey fields. The excitement building for days, now, became too much for their little bodies to handle. 


One little sister had been pestering her older sister in Grade 12 about what the Interschools week entailed and what she must do in this week. The older sister advised her wisely to only enjoy the experience. 


Ayesha Khan, a grade 1 learner from Girls’ High, was excited to play her very first hockey match today. Her oldest sister supported her from the side of the Astro. The pride of seeing her youngest sister filled her heart with joy. 

Ayesha and Lithemba


After playing 2 games and winning both, all little Ayesha could say is, ”it was good!” Even if she scraped her knee. Lithemba, another member of the winning team said that it was “Rad!” 

Sure enough they were happy to win, happy to play and happy to be there.

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...
