Hopefully, this Winter 2022 edition of the Paul Roos Old Boys’ Newsblog will brighten your day as much as Wouter van der Heever’s spellbinding video story https://youtu.be/8nC2n2ztEFE about the Old Boys’ Anthem, which is not only rousing excitement at the Alma Mater’s sports days, but also keeping us in touch with our Scottish educational roots.
Ja, soos die bome langs die Eersterivier, gedy ons skool en sy mense wanneer dit met ou tradisies in stand gehou word, maar ook voortdurend met nuwe aanplantings vernuwe word. Lees meer oor hoe jy by die Stellenbosch Trail Fund betrokke kan raak of kom doen mee aan die Lenteloop op 24 September, waarvan die opbrengs in boom-aanplantings teruggeploeg sal word.
Our Old Boys’ are making their mark all over the world: In Londen Brandon Visser received a royal medal for bravery, Klaus von Pressentin was selected as this year’s international scholar of the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine, and Corné Weilbach is adding scrum power to the Junior Boks at a tournament in Italy.
Ons word ook weer herinner dat Suid-Afrika se eerste groot internasionale konsertpianis, Bosman di Ravelli, ‘n Paul Rooser was. Daar is geleentheid vir die jonger akademies-georienteerde Old Boys’ om vir ‘n Rhodes-beurs aansoek te doen om aan die Oxford-univeristeit hulle verder te gaan bekwaam.
At school the learners are performing well: a total of 23 were selected to represent Western Province at various provincial rugby tournaments and six of our biathlon athletes participated in Western Cape colours at the national championships, with three of them qualifying for the world championships. The latest edition of Conscipio is available to download.
By die massa-reünie in Mei is twee onderwysers vir hul volgehoue bydrae oor ‘n lang tydperk vereer. Daar is foto’s om te kyk. Helderberg-Polla slaag daarin om groot getalle byeen te kry. Ongelukkig is daar ook hartseer-nuus oor die afsterwe van ‘n geliefde oud-onderwyser van die jare tagtig en ander Old Boys’. Ian Walls se dogter vind troos in haar pa se woorde wanneer hulle by die skool verby gery het: Onthou, ek was in Paul Roos op skool!
Enjoy the read and feedback will be appreciated!
