2010 Soccer World Cup comes to South Africa and Bloemfontein

clock May 26, 2010 23:15 by author Johan Volsteedt

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.

VAKANSIETOERE EN SUKSESVOLLE BEGIN VAN WINTERSEISOEN

clock May 11, 2010 21:30 by author Johan Volsteedt

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!
