Verlede naweek het die skool se hokkie, rugby en netbal eerste spanne deelgeneem aan die Eshowe toernooi in Eshowe.
Die verskillende skole het uitspeelrondes teen mekaar gespeel en het uiteindelik semi finale en finale gespeel. Die netbalspan het algeheel 6de geeïndig. Die rugby het in die finale kragte gemeet teeh Vryheid Landbou, maar het ongelukkig net-net die goud gemis. Die seunshokkie het algeheel 4de geeïndig, maar die hokkiemeisies se uitslae was op almal se tonge. Hulle het in die uitspeel rondtes al die wedstryde gewen en kragte gemeet teen Empangeni Hoër in die finaal. Die finaal het meer as een naelbyt oomblik gehad. Die wedstryd het in `n strafdoel uitskiet geeiïndig waar albei die spanne 5 kanse gekry het om die bal in die doelhok in te slaan. Na die uitskiet was die spanne steeds gelyk op, daarna het die wedtryd beweeg na `n finale uitskiet waar die meisies van Vryheid Hoër koning gekraai het.
On Monday, 14 March the rugby second teams got the opportunity to play some friendly practice games against Vryheid Landbou. This was an opportunity for children to play a game who do not always get the chance to play.
The Department of Health held a vaccination drive on Friday where they came to the school to vaccinate the children whose parents gave permission for their children to get vaccinated. They set up quickly in the hall and started calling the learners. The day was extremely efficient and well planned.
Verlede naweek was ‘n prettige naweek vir die hokkie bokkies. Hulle het deelgeneem aan die Spar toernooi by Hoërskool Ferrum in Newcastle.
Die meisies het uitgesien om meer as een wedstryd te speel en om die kans te kry om op `n astro baan te speel. Die meisies het wedstryde teen Newcastle Hoër en Sarel Cilliers gewen, maar het vasgeval teen Hoërskool Pionier en Hoërskool Dundee. Die opwindenheid was groot en die meisies het die wedstryde terdee geniet. Hulle het algeheel 5de uit 8 skole geiïndig.

Vryheid High’s very own Mr and Miss Vryheid high was on everyone’s lips this week. After a lot of preparation and practice the top ten boys had the chance to participate on Monday night and the girls had their evening filled with glitz and glam on Tuesday. The participants had to model three items: school wear, theme wear, and finally formal wear.
The boys did not shy away from the opportunity to show us how handsome they can look in a tuxedo and a tie. And the girls could not have looked any prettier. With the completion of the night, the winners were announced. David Minlah is our new Mr Vryheid High and Tyra Hughes our new Miss Vryheid High. These learners have the privilege to wear their crowns for the next year.
We were blessed with yet another busy week. Not a single day was wasted. We would like to congratulate the following learners that have made it to the final rounds of trials:

We are grateful for the week and can only hope for another week packed with activities.
