INTERSKOLE INTERSCHOOLS

Op Saterdag, 16 Augustus, vind ons jaarlikse Interskole teen die Hoërskool Overberg op ons skoolvelde plaas. Dit is met groot afwagting dat ons na hierdie geleentheid uitsien. Graag nooi ons elke ouer, familielid, leerder, oudleerder en vriend van die Hoërskool uit om hierdie hoogtepunt van ons sportjaar by te woon. Soos in die verlede is die Interskole nie net ‘n onvergeetlike gebeurtenis nie, maar ook ‘n ervaring en belewenis wat vir lank onthou sal word deur almal wat dit meegemaak het.

Mag hierdie Interskole weer eens gekenmerk word deur puik sportmanskap en uitstekende skoolgees.  Ons vertrou dat u nie die Interskole sal misloop nie.  Voorspoed aan elke leerder wat gaan deelneem en ook diegene wat die sang gaan ondersteun.

The annual Interschools against Overberg High will take place on our sports grounds on Saturday 16 August.  We are looking forward to this occasion and hope you will all join us. All parents, family members, learners, former pupils, as well as friends of the school are cordially invited to be part of this highlight on the sport calendars of both schools.

Interschools is not just an ordinary sports day, but rather an experience which will long be remembered by all those who participate in or attend this special occasion.

We trust that this event will again be characterised by excellent sportsmanship and outstanding school spirit. We sincerely hope that you will not miss this event and wish all our players, and those learners who will be cheering on the teams, good luck for the day.

Congratulations to Emile Pieterse who has achieved outstanding results during the first half of the season.
