As we reflect on the past year, it has been a time of immense activity and remarkable achievements for Paul Roos Gimnasium and its extended community, particularly our Old Boys. The photo above shows learners leaving the school after their last paper with the 2024 Annual Report in their hands. This report will undoubtedly become an important reference for them in the future.
Net so is die Old Boys Nuusblog van groot waarde, met sy dekking sedert 2015 aan die prestasies van oudskoliere oor ‘n wye verspreiding van jaargroepe. Maak gerus gebruik van die verwysings onderaan elke berig na soortgelyke stories in die verlede om die geheue weer te verfris.
There are various ways our Old Boys can give back to their alma mater, such as becoming involved with the Paul Roos 150 Trust Fund and Klub 1000. These initiatives provide vital support for maintaining the school’s infrastructure and academic excellence and to strengthen the bond between us. Another example of how pleasure and commitment can be combined, is the highly successful golf and boules day hosted by the Old Boys Rugby Committee. We are eagerly anticipating the PRG Classic next year, which promises to be another fantastic event.
Sukses word nie net gemeet aan trofeë en toekennings nie, maar aan die groei en ontwikkeling van ons studente, die versterking van ons gemeenskapsbande en die blywende nalatenskap waaraan ons bou. Dit gaan oor ‘n oupa en kleinseun wat ‘n passie vir rugby deel, vier Old Boys wat ‘n nasionale groep vir prestasie-ontwikkeling in hokkie haal, ‘n talentvolle jong man wat belangrike besluite oor sy toekoms moet neem, ‘n professor wat danksy sy toewyding aan sy student met ‘n eredoktorsgraad vereer is en ‘n fietsryer wat na sy te vroeë dood onthou word as digkuns in beweging.
As we look forward, we are reminded that the journey is just as important as the destination. The values we uphold, the relationships we forge, and the impact we make on those around us are the true markers of success. Let us continue to celebrate each other’s efforts, support one another, and remain united in our pursuit of excellence. Here’s to another year of growth, achievement, and shared purpose.
Geseënde Kersfees en Voorspoedige Nuwe Jaar! Matrieks, ons hou vir julle duim vas.
