’n Aand van trots en dankbaarheid

Hoërskool De Aar het onlangs ’n besonderse en betekenisvolle borgaand vir ons eerste rugbyspan aangebied — ’n geleentheid wat nie net oor nuwe spandrag gegaan het nie, maar oor hoop, samehorigheid en die bou van ’n trotse toekoms. Die aand het ’n hoogtepunt bereik met die amptelike oorhandiging van ons splinternuwe spandrag en wedstryddrag. Vir elke speler was dit meer as net klere; dit is ’n simbool van harde werk, toewyding en die eer om ons skool se naam op hul bors te dra. Wat hierdie aand werklik besonders gemaak het, was die onskatbare ondersteuning van ons hoofborg, Autoforce. Julle belegging in ons jong manne is nie net finansieel nie; dit is ’n belegging in drome, karakter en geleenthede. Julle glo in ons kinders, en dit maak ’n wêreld se verskil. Ons spelers het met trots en opgewondenheid hul nuwe drag aangetrek — ’n oomblik wat vir lank in hul harte sal bly. Dit was duidelik: hierdie span is gereed om nie net op die veld te presteer nie, maar ook om waardes van dissipline, respek en deursettingsvermoë uit te leef. Aan Autoforce: baie dankie vir u vertroue, u ondersteuning en u betrokkenheid. Julle help ons om nie net rugbyspelers te vorm nie, maar jong manne met visie en karakter. Ons sien uit na ’n seisoen vol trots, harde werk en oorwinnings saam — as een span, een skool, een familie.

Baie geluk aan Erin Merrington - sy is verkies as die Emthanjeni se Public Relations Officer.

Tennisspeler van Hoërskool De Aar presteer goed

Een van Hoërskool De Aar se belowende tennisspelers, Handré Fourie, het die afgelope naweek aan ’n Mini-Tennistoernooi in Bloemfontein deelgeneem waar hy die Noord-Kaap verteenwoordig het. Spelers van die Noord-Kaap, Vrystaat en Noordwes het aan die toernooi deelgeneem, en die kompetisie was besonders taai. Handré, het egter uitstekende tennis gespeel en sy staal gewys, onder andere teen die nommer 1 speler van die Vrystaat in hul ouderdomsgroep. Hy het uiteindelik agtste geëindig uit al die spelers wat aan die toernooi deelgeneem het — ’n puik prestasie op provinsiale vlak. Baie geluk, Handré - ons is trots op jou!

HSDA HOU ‘n WORSHIPAAND

Wat ‘n vrolike en inspirerende manier om die jaar toe te wy aan ons Hemelse Vader en saam te sing?! Die wie daar was het dit geniet en is betekenisvol geraak. Harte is geroer en bemoedig. Dewald het van sy eie liedere gesing, getuienis gedeel en ook alombekende treffers gesing, wat almal kon saamsing. Op versoek van die gehoor het ons die aand met, ‘n HSDA-gunsteling: Waymaker, afgesluit! Ons is dankbaar vir anonieme CSV-donateurs, wat sulke geleenthede moontlik maak. Die CSV het ‘n aktiewe rol in HSDA. Ons voed liggaam, siel en gees en is dankbaar vir die voorreg om die tieners op vele maniere te kan ondersteun. Ons versprei onder andere koshappies, skoolklere, skryfbehoeftes en toiletware, waar nodig.

Positive vibes for DAHS thanks to Mulilo

Mulilo De Aar Solar Community Trust sponsored a container, for storage space to De Aar High School. Since the school is currently expanding, every possible space is utilized and occupied for classrooms. We are grateful for Mulilo De Aar Solar Community Trust who provided a container for storage. The UCSA of DAHS, then realized the opportunity to send out a strong positive message through graffiti and art. Scholars had the opportunity to decorate the container with uplifting messages, like 'Be Kind' , 'You matter' , 'Aim high' and other encouraging quotes and visuals. The up and coming artists of De Aar High school grabbed this opportunity and turned the container into a vibrant colorful art piece!! May the message speak into hearts as they daily pass this wall of art and may many souls be uplifted by a word in season. A sincere word of thanks to our anonymous sponsors for the UCSA projects. Due to your contribution, we could brighten our school and the troubled hearts, with a positive vibe. We are grateful for investments like these! Together we make a difference; rand by rand, learner by learner, day by day, and positive word by positive word!!

Mulilo Sponsorship secures De Aar High School

De Aar High School is most grateful for the continued positive support of Mulilo De Aar Solar Community Trust. Without their huge sponsorship to our school, we would have many more challenges coming our way. Recently, Mulilo De Aar have contributed largely to the securing of our premises. One of our main areas of concern was to safe guard and protect our premises. It is an immense challenge to maintain our highly functional premises, which we invest in greatly, when careless vandalists (often drug addicts), simply wreck our expensive valuables. Vandalism in our town is currently rising and we have experienced vandalism, at severe expenses weekend after weekend, numerous times. Our security cameras, our spot lights, our taps, water pipes and borehole etc, all is in need of protection. No security guard can be everywhere at once on such a large premises and thus we resorted to a beam system coupled with our already excisting camera system, to be monitored by a local alarm response unit. We are grateful for the continued support and outstanding services of Astron Alarm Systems, under the Management of Jaco Kleynhans. However, security is a huge expense, but most essential according to us, in order not to lose everything dear to us. Mulilo, realised our dire need and provided funding to secure our premises. In partnership with Astron, and two vigilant guards, we are now a little more at peace and we are most grateful. Continue your good work Mulilo De Aar Solar Community Trust!! We are honoured to partner with you! A special word of thanks for Bernadine Fredericks for her continuous support in this project.

✨ Impakspreker besoek HSDA ✨

Hoërskool De Aar was bevoorreg om evangelis en motiveringspreker Johnny Louw te verwelkom. Hy het leerders, sportspanne en ouers bemoedig met ’n kragtige boodskap oor keuses, waarheid, liefde en karakter. Sy kernboodskap: Lewe is vol druk – maar as jy met die regte waardes gevul is, kan jy staande bly. Dankie aan die CSV, SBL en borge wat hierdie geleentheid moontlik gemaak het. 💛
