College Northwest's top hockey school

College emerged as Northwest's top hockey school after winning all three of the Northwest high schools hockey leagues on Saturday the 21st of August.

College's first team scored 3-1 against St Conrads (Brothers) of Klerksdorp, the under 16A beat Shelly Park of Rustenburg 3-0 and the under 14A's beat Brothers 3-1.

College aims to build on the momentum gained and the Centenary Committee has decided that the next centenary project will be an Astro at College. The new tuck shop is almost finished and the foundations of the lecture theatre have been laid thanks to money that has been raised by the school, but funds are needed to build the Astro.

We are appealing to Old Boys to donate R 1000 to the project. In return we will put your name on the board at the lecture theatre and issue you with a tax certificate for making a donation to the school, so you should get some of your money back at the end of the tax year.

We are also appealing to Companies who I am sure are all aware of Black Empowerment and the social responsibility that they all have to do, to get BE points. Why not invest in College and earn some points in this way? For more information please contact Miss Combrinck at (018) 2945339.

College wins Cross Country Championships

College's cross country team won the Northwest high schools cross country championship held at the Kenneth McArther stadium recently. In this event each school had six runners and Macdonald Taole from College won the race in a time of 20,25 .

The first three schools were

1. College

2. Klerksdorp Tech

3. Klerksdorp Höerskool

These three schools will go through to the South African cross country championships next month.

Many Old Boys will remember the compulsory Cross country in the first term and your first morning at College starting at 5h00 with a quick 5km jog.

It is still compulsory and the reason why they have to wake up so early is because some new boys take two hours to walk/run 5km's.

To watch the cross country team in action is something else as it is quite evident that the joggers just love running.

Kricketday vir Sakemanne

Klerksdorp – On the 27 August 2004 OFM, and the local business sector hosted a cricket day for businessmen of the community at Schoonspruit High School. There were six teams that took part and every team was captained by an OFM representative. Heyke Berg a star from Egoli and Plek van die Vleiseters attended the cricket event. It was a day filled with laughs, bruised ego’s, the occasional smoke on the field and witty comments amongst players all of which added fun to the event.

Later the evening a prize giving was held and Heyke was the guest of honour. The event was a huge success with players eager to come back and do it again next year.

VAAL REEFS IS GOUE LEEUS KAMPIOEN

Vaal Reefs het Saterdag 28 Augustus op Ellispark in die “Goue Leeus Groot Uitdaag” liga teen Union in die finaal te staan gekom.

Soos dit gewoonlik gaan in ‘n finaal het die twee spanne mekaar in die eerste helfte eers goed deurgekyk. Die telling het dus wipplank gery met Union wat rustyd voorgeloop het met 11-10. In die tweede helfte het Vaal Reefs hul voete gevind en het die Blou Bokke die soort rugby gespeel, waarvoor hulle die jaar bekend geraak het. Vaal Reefs het die wedstryd gemaklik gewen met 35-17.

Drieë vir Vaal Reefs is gedruk deur Pepi Koen (1), Andre Nel (2) Ernest Nortje (1) en Stefan Snyders (1). Vaal Reefs se eerste span sluit die jaar onoorwonne af. Met al drie die bekers waarvoor hulle meegeding het, veilig in hul kas by die Oppenheimer stadium. Vaal Reefs se tweede span buit ook al drie hul ligas. Die derde span is ook die ligawenners van die Luiperds.

Uitsluitsel moet nog gekry word oor hoe Vaal Reefs kan opskuif na die Pirates Liga. As dit gaan oor ‘n promosie – regulasie, dan kan PUK en Impalanie rustig slaap, want Vaal Reefs het ‘n missie, om die Luiperds se kampioenspan volgende seisoen te wees.
