Ons is vanjaar amptelik 100 jaar oud!

As die eerste skool in Kaapland met Afrikaans as sy enigste voertaal, beklee Volkskool ‘n besondere plek in die geskiedenis van Kaapland en Suid Afrika se onderwys en deur die jare het hy steeds as ‘n baanbreker sy plek op die terrein van die Afrikaanse kultuur konsekwent gehandhaaf. Uit beroemde voorsate soos die”Midland Seminary” vir dogters, en die “Boy’s College” stam Volkskool.

Aan die einde van 1919 word dr. G. von W. Eybers as hoof van die “Boy’s College” aangestel en toe hy Nederlands deur Afrikaans vervang, het die poppe begin dans. In 1921 word ds. J. F. Naudé alhier bevestig as leraar van die N G Gemeente en hy dring daarop aan dat die Taalordonnansie in die “Midland Seminary” tot sy reg moet kom, want hy het twee skoolgaande dogters gehad.

Na ‘n besoek van die destydse S G O, dr. WJ Viljoen en sy hoofinspekteur, is besluit dat die ontevredenes ‘n skool sal kry waar Engels die voertaal sou wees en dat Afrikaanssprekende kinders in één skool sou saamkom onder hoofskap van dr. G von W. Eybers om in hul moedertaal hul onderrig te ontvang.

Die noodsaaklikheid van ‘n Afrikaanse skool het hom kort na die stigting in 1922, duidelik geblyk toe Afrikanerseuns en -dogters van heinde en verre gekom het om onderrig te ontvang – in so ‘n mate dat die skool spoedig vergroot moes word.

Wat is die moeilikste aspek van `n skole afrigter se taak?

Relatief tot die grootte van ons skool en dorp is dit soms `n uitdaging om die diepte van die span te verbreed. Daarmee saam is elke speler `n individu wat nie net op fisiese vlak nie, maar ook op emosionele vlak tot voordeel van die span ontwikkel moet word.

Skole rugby word al hoe sterker, waarom sou jy sê is dit so?

Tradisioneel was rugby nog altyd `n groot sport by skole met `n goeie ondersteuningsnetwerk van SA Rugby en borge, so dis vanselfsprekend dat skole rugby groei. Die uitsaai van sport op digitale kanale dra ook baie by daar toe.

UNION HIGH SCHOOL FIRST XV Christopher Felix First Rugby Coach: Union High School What can the school and parents expect from your team this year at Interschools?

Traditionally, the Union side is known for running the ball, this year’s team would not want to disappoint, so the team will definitely be looking to spread the ball and do the set pieces well.

What is the most difficult part of coaching a school team?

Although injuries are part of the game, it remains a challenge. It is also interesting coaching a new group of boys each year.

Each year you need to look and see what you have and design plans around the squad. Lack of finances at smaller schools also makes it tough, as the bigger schools often offer “bursaries” that absolutely kills the competition.

Why in your opinion, does school rugby get more competitive each year?

The rivalry between schools. The traditions of interschools and the derby matches week after week, keep the competition among schools alive. The pride that comes with wearing your school’s 1st team jersey and the eagerness to please, ensures that school boy rugby gets more competitive each year.

Hoër Volkskool

Wat is die hoogtepunt van jou rugbyloopbaan tot dusver en wat is die hoogtepunt van jou span se seisoen sover?

My hoogtepunt was om 2020 eerstespan te kon speel en die span se hoogtepunt die seisoen sover was om vir Despatch Hoërskool op ons velde te wen.

Hoe motiveer jy jou span?

Hulle het nie motivering nodig nie, hulle wil net speel.

Union High School

What is the highlight of your team’s rugby season this year?

I would say that this year’s highlight for our team, was our senior sports festival hosted by Union earlier this year. During the festival we managed to secure two great wins against Camps Bay and Cambridge.

Many doubted our ability to win against Cambridge and it was an amazing feeling to walk off the field as the victors following that encounter.

Wie is julle onderkaptein en hoe staan hy jou by?

Diëgo (Hugge) Peters is onderkaptein en vat beheer by die agterlyn.

How do you motivate your team?

I usually motivate my guys by talking to them and hyping them up. I also play my heart out in each game in order to motivate the rest of the players to put it all on the line and do the same.

Hoe is die samestelling van die span vir Interskole? Enige beserings?

Ons span vir Interskole is goed. Ons het tot dusver geen beserings nie en ek het vertroue in elke lid van my span.

Who is your vice-captain and how does he support you?

My vice-captain is Ruzhé Hendricks – he helps me when it comes down to making tough decisions during games. He also assists me by making sure our teammates are motivated to the fullest.

Wat wil jul as `n span die jaar bereik? Wat sal jou trots maak?

Ons groot doelwit al heel jaar is om Interskole te wen, so `n goeie wen sal my trots maak.

Wat is jou planne vir die toekoms?

My planne vir die toekoms is om president te word.

Kom ondersteun die eerstespan rugby, Saterdag 6 Augustus om 16:00.

Are you happy with your team’s line-up for Interschools? Do you have any injuries in your team?

I am happy with the team’s line-up for Interschools. The forward pack looks strong and physical – which is what we will definitely need in the game against Volkskool. Our backline also looks ready for the challenge ahead of them. I am confident that the backline will pull through for the team when the time comes. Sisipho Arnols – who served as the team’s captain before being injured, suffered a broken wrist during the recent EP rugby trials – we’ll miss him during this year’s Interschools’ encounter.

What do you as a team want to achieve this year? What will make you proud?

I think it’s a relatively obvious answer, but our goal for this year is to be victorious at Interschools.

What are your plans for the future?

I hope to further my studies in Real Estate and Property Development in Cape Town. I will also be taking the field for the Western Province Academy team next year and we’ll see where that leads to.

Hoër Volkskool Wat is die hoogtepunt van julle span se seisoen sover?

Die hoogtepunt van ons seisoen was ons toer Mosselbaai toe, waar ons uit 20 skole van reg oor die land, 11de geëindig het.

Hoe motiveer jy jou span?

As kaptein probeer ek my span motiveer deur eerstens myself moed in te praat en om my spanmaats se gemoed dan reg te kry vir die wedstryd. Ons het voor elke wedstryd ook `n spanpraatjie waar ons elkeen iets sê om mekaar te motiveer om as `n span gemotiveerd te wees. Gedurende die wedstryd probeer ons ook mekaar te ondersteun en op te bou.

Wie is julle onderkaptein en hoe staan sy jou by?

Gerslyn Swarts is ons onderkaptein vir 2022. Sy het `n baie rustige persoonlikheid wat my bietjie kalmer maak. Sy help my ook om die span moed in te praat en is `n ware staatmaker.

Hoe is die samestelling van die span vir die Interskole? Enige beserings?

Ons het `n hele paar beserings gedurende die jaar opgedoen en sukkel nog met `n paar. Ons meisies is baie sterk en druk deur - hulle hou nie op tot die einde toe nie.

Wat wil jul as `n span die jaar bereik? Wat sal jou trots maak?

As `n span en skool dink ek is ons doel om Interskole te wen, maar ook om net ons beste te gee en goed as `n span saam te speel. My span maak my al klaar trots deur met beserings te speel,omdat hulle regtig wil speel en saam wil speel. Hulle motiveer mekaar as hulle sien die ander een sukkel bietjie en hulle het soos familie geword.

Wat is jou planne vir die toekoms?

Ek gaan gaan au pair in Amerika en eers bietjie lewenservaring kry, terwyl ek seker maak wat ek wil doen vir die res van my lewe.

Ek dink tyd is die moeilikste aspek.

Mens kan seker nooit genoeg tyd saam jou span hê nie. Ons kinders is so talentvol en betrokke by ander aktiwiteite by die skool, wat tyd baie beperk.

Hoër Volkskool Wat is die hoogtepunt van julle span se seisoen sover?

Die hoogtepunt vir ons span was om mekaar te vind en mekaar in elke wedstryd wat ons gespeel het, te leer ken. Ja, dit was uitdagend met tye, maar dit was alles die moeite werd.

Hoe motiveer jy jou span?

Ek motiveer my span deur opbouende woorde en om hulle elke dag te herinner dat hulle net hulle beste moet gee vir hulle susters wat saam met hulle speel en vir ons afrigter wat haar hart en siel in ons span gesit het.

Wie is julle onderkaptein en hoe staan sy jou by?

My twee onderkapteine is Marlien Crewe-Brown en Chloé Stannard. Hulle staan my by deur my te motiveer wanneer ek op `n laagtepunt is en hulle is vegters as dit kom by hulle susters.

Hoe is die samestelling van die span vir die Interskole? Enige beserings?

Ons is positief en ons weet wat in ons steek. Dis nou net om dit te bewys dat ons kan. Gelukkig het ons geen beserings nie, so ons span is voltallig.

Wat wil jul as ‘n span die jaar bereik? Wat sal jou trots maak?

Ons doel waarna ons streef is om geskiedenis te maak in ons eeufees jaar en deur die beker te kan optel aan die einde van ons wedstryd. Ek is al reeds trots op elke liewe sussie van my, maar as hulle hul harte tydens Interskole gaan uitspeel, sal dit `n bonus wees.

Wat is jou planne vir die toekoms?

Ek wil aptekerswese volgende jaar studeer.

What can the school and parents expect from your team this year at Interschools?

Our plan is to make the hockey as exciting and entertaining as possible, our team’s focus will be on high tempo on attack and composure on defense.

Where is your strength as a team?

We believe that our strength comes from our Unity – it’s only if we play as a team that we can achieve our goals. As a coach, the focus will be on creating as many counter attacks as possible, similar to my favorite national teams: Argentina and Belgium.

What is the most difficult part of coaching a school team?

Coaching a school team is always challenging, you have to manage your players both physically and mentally. It’s my job to help them achieve and believe in the impossible. As a coach you get people with different backgrounds and different upbringings and it is my job to put the puzzles together.

Union High School What is the highlight of your team’s hockey season this year?

The highlight of our team’s season so far, is our constant improvement throughout and our ability to adapt to each new challenge no matter the circumstances.

How do you motivate your team?

I try to always bring a positive attitude to practices and ensure that everyone enjoys themselves on and off the turf as a unit. I try to keep a level head and to keep morale high, even when facing tough opposition.

Who are your vice-captains and how do they support you?

My vice captains are Brigette Oelofsen and Barbara McNaughton.

They help Mr Beck and I to enforce the rules amongst the team members and help to ensure that everyone plays to the best of their ability. They support me throughout everything and in tough situations they help maintain the confidence and positive attitude within the team.

What do you as a team want to achieve this year? What will make you proud?

One of our main aims this year, was to grow as a team which I am pleased to say we have achieved throughout the year. It is amazing to see the growth of each individual within the team and how much we’ve progressed as a team since the beginning of the year. My team always makes me proud and, of course, winning Interschools would definitely be our main goal as it is every year. Just being part of this special team and playing our best hockey on the Saturday of Interschools - as I know we will - is what will make me proudest.

We have been incredibly blessed to have gained Mr Calvin Beck as our coach this year as he has developed this team into something incredible.

What are your plans for the future?

My plans for the future are not completely set as yet, but I am hoping to study in Stellenbosch and continue with hockey at Varsity level.

Are you happy with your team’s line-up for Interschools? Do you have any injuries in your team?

I am extremely happy with our team’s line-up for Interschools, however, we have been struggling with a few injuries throughout the year, which can mostly be attributed to the lack of sport played since 2020. The girls are definitely recovering quickly though and will be ready for Interschools.
