1st Team Netball Players – Winners on the sport field
On Thursday, we played an away game against Landbou. Although the weather was cold, our learners were on fire on the fields. The three netball teams and two hockey teams won all their games. The rugby boys were intent on beating Landbou and tried their utmost best. All teams won except the first team.
On Saturday, we travelled to Pongola. The excitement was tangible and the players were ready to show their skills. All teams won their games with the 1st hockey team scoring 6 – 2, 1st netball team, 24 – 4 and the 1st rugby team, 19 – 7. Thank you to all educators who accompanied the teams.
VHS se 1st netbalspan wil net baie dankie sê aan TWK vir die borg. Ons speel met trots in ons pragtige netbalrokkies, die opwarmingtoppies, die praktiese groen sake en waterbottles wat ons elkeen ontvang het. Hierdie trotse items pryk langs die baan met elke wedstryd. Ons waardeer jul borg baie – baie, baie dankie TWK.

The ACTS group (Association for Christian Teachers and Students) put on an uplifting Easter performance for VHS, NRS and Vryheid Public learners and staff on the last day of school last term. Khulani Nyawo preached the Easter gospel between the acts. The 31-strong gospel choir opened the Easter ceremony followed by thirty members of the dance group dancing to two worship songs. The ten members of the drama team put on a moving skit depicting a young woman trapped in the world through her sin (symbolized by black ribbons) and Jesus removing them from her and taking the sin upon himself as He was crucified. The performance was concluded by all ACTS members singing and dancing to the song ”Celebrate”. VHS would like to thank VRYHEID MEATMASTERS for their generous donation toward the ACTS t-shirts.

VHS’ 1st hockey girls had an enriching and exciting learning opportunity at Cap Discovery just outside Pretoria during the Easter holidays from 6 – 9 April. With the help of professional coaching, Shawn Hulley, Peter Ross and Sheldon Rostrom, we returned with enthusiasm, new skills and a stronger love for the game. We would like to thank the Vryheid community for all your support during our burger sales making this tour possible for us. A big thank you to our bus driver, Mr Gerhard van den Berg together with our parents and Miss Boshoff for your input in our lives. Tante Renate, thank you for being our coach and mentor and always reminding us to believe in ourselves.

On Tuesday, 14 March, the girls first team hockey had a very successful, and fun filled shadow evening at the local Spur. They would like to thank all those that supported the team, as well as Christopher and his team of waiters who helped the girls along.
The first team hockey girls are currently fundraising for their Camp Discovery tour that will take place during the Easter Holidays. They have been selling hamburgers on Friday afternoons and would like to thank the community for all their support; every cent is valuable and appreciated. The girls would like to thank Chantelle, and her family from Romans Pizza, who sponsored their shirts for the upcoming tour.
Thank you to the community, parents and learners for supporting our school and helping us to create opportunities and an environment for our learners to strive for greatness in all aspects of life.
This week we have much to be thankful for and we would like to thank the community and learners for their continued support of the school. There were not many activities in the week that passed as the school and staff are busy preparing marks and reports for the end of term. We did, however, celebrate our learners’ creativity with the Art and Poetry evening and the 1st team girls hockey also had a busy Tuesday evening as shadow waiters at Spur.
On Wednesday, 15 March, we hosted our annual Art and Poetry evening, where learners had the opportunity to show case their hand-drawn art and read some of their poetry. The learners’ poetry was heartfelt and sincere, with some learners showing immense talent. Please keep an eye on the school’s website for videos of two of our learners’ most entertaining pieces. Thank you to all the participants, teachers, parents and learners who came to support the evening.
We had a busy sporting weekend at Vryheid High School: our winter sport teams had away games, while our netball girls hosted a netball clinic.
The first Boy’s hockey team played at the Spur pre-season tournament at St Dominics and finished fourth overall, taking away valuable lessons to apply during their season. The boys would like to thank Afrimat for sponsoring their playing kit.
Our rugby teams played against Sarel Cilliers High School and the results were as follow:
