As we are preparing for the greatest sport spectacle to ever hit our shores, we experienced the positive side of our country when the Bulls played the Crusaders in the Orlando Stadium in Soweto while the final of the Nedbank Soccer competition was played next door at Soccer City. May all citizens of our country take that positive spirit into the World Cup and beyond!

Ons interskole teen Selborne, Affies, Paarl Boys High was n waardiger advertensie vir Grey en die Grey Gentlemen en dit was n riem onder die hart om vele komplimente, ook van ons teenstanders, te ontvang oor die Greyseuns se spel en se gedrag op en van die sportvelde af. Dit was ook die geval met die kultuuraand by Affies en die besoek van ons musiekgroepe aan Music In The Mountains by die Drakensberg Seunskoor. 

Dankie aan al ons ouers en seuns wat die skool so getrou ondersteun en dien! Ons mag nooit n skool word vir die topspanne ten koste van die "average men" nie en het juis die gemiddelde manne nodig om die topspanne te lig!

Our 1st Soccer X1 performed well at the Benoni Festival and proved that soccer is an integral part of our sport programme.

Much as we look forward to the World Cup, we are sensitive to the teaching time constraints and will devise plans to provide as much teaching and study time as possible...

Ons sien uit na volgende kwartaal se aktiwiteite, veral ook die Musiekfees saam met Andre de Villiers en Karen Zoid. U sal binnekort meer inligting ontvang oor die kaartjieverkope. 

Na afloop van die 1ste kwartaal het n  groot aantal rugby- en hokkiespanne op toere na verskillende dele van die land vertrek.

Die o15- en 016-rugbyspanne het na die Paarl getoer en die 2de en 3de spanne na Stellenbosch, terwyl die 014-span in Pietermaritzburg gespeel het. Hulle het goed gevaar en gewys dat n opwindende seisoen op ons wag. Die 1ste span het hul 3 wedstryde tydens die Kearsney Toernooi in natal gewen teen Kearsney College, EG Jansen en Monument en het skitterrugby gespeel.

The 1st hockey team  won all their matches during the Nomads tournament hosted by Grey, while the u16 team played in Pretoria and the u14's in Pietermaritzburg. The golf team played in a tournament in Pretoria..

With the World Cup Soccer upon us, the academic programme is extremely tough and much has to be done in limited time. Each educator displays teh work to be complered weekly in the classroom so that boys know exactly what is required.

Die 1ste rugbyspan klop Paarl Gimnasium 23-12 en Outeniqua van George 47-6 in n modderbad tydens die Wildeklawwer toernooi in Pretoria. In n skitterwedstryd klop hulle Paarl Boys High 34-12, maar die slae wat ons o14A, o15A, 016A, 3de 3n 2de spanne op die lyf loop, is n tydige waarskuwing van die harde werk wat met sukses gepaard gaan... Die 1ste span het ook vir Selborne geklop terwyl die 1ste hokkiespan goeie oorwinnings oor Selborne en Paarl Boys High behaal het.

Our choir, Indomitus, Marimbas, Band and Ensemble took part in Music in the Mountains in the Drakensberg and received high praise. They also obtained A, A+ and A++ symbols at the recent eisteddfod.

The parents of one of our educators, Naresh Mahabeer, lost their lives in a car accident in Natal. They were true Grey supporters and we mourn their passing...

During the weekend of 14-15 May about 800 boys will travel to Affies in Pretoria for the annual inter schools derby and the inter-cultural evening. The exams will commence on 18 May for gr11 and 12 while gr8,9 and 10 will start on 21 May. The gr 11 boys will go on the annual Shadow Week on 7-9 June.

We live in exciting times and the prospect of the first Soccer World Cup for an African state! 

The new boys settled in well during the first weeks of 2010 and they ar eall involved in the many activities available at Grey.

The annual gala and athletics meetings were a splendid advertisement for the GREY WAY and subsequent cricket, athletics, water polo and swimming tours brought many accolades about the Grey Gentlemen's behaviour both on and off the sports fields. Grey's u18 Water Polo tournament and  Table Tennis Tournament showcased not only our boys' abilities, but also the professionalism of our organising committees!

DIe prefekte en die matriekseuns stel n navolgenswaardige voorbeeld en die dissipline van die skool is tans besonders - ons waardeer dit!

Komende naweek is dit die Inter High Swemgala en krieket teen St Andrews, asook Grey se Skaaktoernooi vir skole van oor die land. Ook ons muurbalspelers is bedrywig terwyl ons tennisspan meeding tydens die Kearsney Toernooi in Natal.  Verskeie waterpolo toernooie vind ook nog plaas. Die eerste rugbywedstryde vind op 13 Maart plaas.

Die Toetsreeks in tans aan die gang en word opgevolg met n eksamen aan die einde van die kwartaal.

Our thoughts and prayers are with one of our learners who matriculated in 2007, Thabo Ramanamane, who is in a serious condition in hospital after a car accident.

Geniet die res van die kwartaal! 

2010!

Die jaar het goed begin met die nuus van Grey se uitstekende matriekuitslae. Die 243 kandidate het almal geslaag, Grey was een van die top 50 skole in die Vrystaat en 5 van ons seuns was onder die top 100 kandidate in die Vrystaat – Willie Ross, Christopher Maclachlan,  Franco Swart, Theodorus Zietsman en Christiaan Louw. Boonop het Grey die beker vir die beste Wiskunde/Skeinat prestasie in die Vrystaat verwerf! Baie geluk aan die matriekklas van 2009 wat Grey se naam hoog gehou het

2010 promises to be a great year for our country and we all look forward to the unifying force of the Soccer World Cup this year!

The unity amongn the Grey boys is a joy to behold and was clearly visible at the annual Grey Absa Gala and the Grey Absa Athletics meeting. The harmony among both staff and boys augurs well for the rest of the year and the excitement felt by all as we start the new year is a strong unifying force.

Die skool se nuwe EREKODE is pas in gebruik geneem en bestaan uit waardes soos opgestel deur die seuns self. Dit word oral in die skool opgeplak en elke seun en personeellid onderteken dit en poog om daarvolgens te lewe.

The new GREY CODE OF HONOUR that will be in use as from this year, reads as follows:

The annual GREY MUSIC FESTIVAL was a very professional show hosted in the Sand du Plessis Theatre. It drew capacity crowds and highlighted the musical talents of the Grey boys.

We appreciate the contribution made by our sponsors, FNB, BLOEM WATER and the ARTS TRUST!

Geluk aan Elbie Louw, Petro Muller, Elsa Venter, Marilize van Rooyen, Marelize Griffiths, Celeste Venter, Johan Grobbelaar en die tegniese span wat wat so n luisterryke program op die planke gebring het!

Dit was n groot vreugde om omtrent 800 mense van ouetehuise, weeshuise, Bartimea en Lettie Fouche by die finale kleedrepetisie te verwelkom en saam met hulle sop en brood te geniet.

Opreg dankie aan Lize Beekman en Brandon October wat as gaskunstenaars luister aan die geleentheid verleen het! DIe terugvoer wat ons van heinde en ver ontvang, bewys dat Grey iets besonders verrig het en ons is trots op ons seuns en personeel.

Die toer na Paul Roos was suksesvol en ons wens graag hul eerste rugbyspan geluk met n welverdiende oorwinning.

Congratulations to our soccer teams who enjoyed two very successful tours.

Ons matrieks staan op die vooraand van die 2 belangrikste eksamens van hul lewens en ons wens hulle sukses toe!

We look forward to the MOTHER & SON BREAKFAST and to the summer activities.
