SPORT AND CULTURE AT KEHS
The third term is now decidedly a soccer season, replete with soccer practices, fixtures, and games. The developmental work that began at the beginning of the term, especially with the first ever girls’ soccer team continues unabated. We are proud to report that the girls’ 1st soccer team won their third game against Southcity Christian Schools on Saturday, 3 September, by 1-0. The U16 girls’ soccer team unfortunately lost their game 3-0. At King Edward High School we are committed to establishing a competent and competitive girls’ soccer team, thereby playing our small role in transformation and empowerment.
The boys’ U16 and 1st soccer teams also played against Southcity. The U16 team won by 4-2 and the 1st team lost 0-1. Our soccer boys are gaining skills and experience with every fixture.
On 3 September, the U11 boys played against St Monicas and Bergview. They lost to St Monicas by 2-1 and beat Bergview 2-1. We are proud of these little ones.
The U13 boys also participated in the Bergview Tournament on 3 September. They played against Bergview, St Monicas, and Zamokuhle. The boys drew with Bergview (3-3), beat St Monicas by 3-0 and won 1-0 against Zamokuhle. The team won the U13 Bergview Tournament and returned triumphantly with trophies. Excellent work champs!
Last week our pupils took part in our annual Speech and Drama festival through SADASA (The Speech and Drama Association SA). This festival provides our pupils the opportunity to practice the all-important skills of imagination, confidence and communication by preparing and performing different poems and monologues individually.
We were delighted to see the effort our school teachers put into their Choral Verses and welcomed Bergview College to join us in the festival this year. "If you can speak, you can influence, if you can influence, you can change lives. “- Rob Brown.
On Tuesday, 6 September, KEHS’ U11 and U13 hockey boys travelled to KJS to partake in a triangular tournament against KJS and St Patricks. The boys enjoyed the afternoon thoroughly and the results were as follows; U11 drew 0 - 0 vs St Patricks and lost 0 - 1 to KJS. U13 won 1 - 0 vs St Patricks and lost 0 - 1 vs KJS.
On Thursday, 8 September, we had soccer fixtures against Kokstad College. The 1st team girls kept their winning record by beating KC 4 - 1. The 1st team boys continued their fine season by earning a hard fought draw of 2 - 2 with KC.
On Saturday, 10 September, the 1st Netball Team took part in the Spar Netball Fast 5 Challenge. The girls played their hearts out and ended in 4th place on overall goal differences. Congratulations.
Our hockey boys travelled to Lynford Primary in Ixopo on Saturday, 10 September, to take part in their annual Country Weekend Festival. For some of our boys it was their first time playing on an Astro turf and they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The U11s played 5 matches and ended with mixed results. They were pleased with their victory against Treverton Prep. The U13s displayed great teamwork and managed a fine set of results in their 4 matches; 1-1 vs KPS2, 2-0 vs Underberg, 0-0 vs Ixopo Primary2 and 7-0 vs Lynford2. Thank you to all the learners, parents and coaches for a wonderful hockey season.
