Redwood College Learners Take on the Egg Project Challenge 🥚🐣 🥚🐣 🥚🐣 🥚🐣 🥚🐣 At Redwood College, we believe that nurturing responsibility is a crucial part of learning. This was recently demonstrated during our fun and insightful Egg Project, where learners were tasked with taking care of an egg as if it were their own pet. The project, which seemed simple at first, turned out to be more challenging than most expected, showing the true nature of responsibility in a practical and engaging way. Image:The Go-to Guy(Redwood College) A Test of Patience and Care The Egg Project asked learners to protect and nurture an egg for several days, keeping it safe from harm and treating it with the same care they would give a living pet. The exercise quickly revealed how delicate and demanding such a task can be.🐣Many learners were surprised by the constant attention their "egg pets" required, from ensuring the eggs were safe in their containers to preventing accidental cracks. A Fun Yet Educational Experience By the end of the project, only three eggs survived the challenge! Despite the difficulty, our learners showed great commitment, and those who managed to keep their eggs intact learned valuable lessons about responsibility, patience, and care. Even those whose eggs didn’t make it had a positive experience, learning from their mistakes and understanding the importance of attention to detail. Proud of Our Learners We are incredibly proud of all the learners who took part in this project. The Egg Project not only brought out their nurturing side but also showed them how something as simple as caring for an egg can teach lifelong lessons about responsibility. We look forward to more such engaging activities that help our learners grow in meaningful ways. 🥚🐣 🥚🐣 🥚🐣 🥚🐣 🥚🐣 #RedwoodCollege #RedwoodSchools #EggProject #LearningResponsibility #PotchGazette #TheGoToGuy #StroomStories #Potchefstroom #SkoolKompas

Saints Christian School’s U/19 Girls Crowned North-West SA20 Champions 🏏🏆 🏏🏆 🏏🏆 🏏🏆 🏏🏆 Saints Christian School’s unbeaten u/19 girls cricket team has added another accolade to their impressive season, claiming the SA20 North-West Championship after a dominant victory against Matlosana Hub in the final held at the J.B. Marks Oval.🏆This triumph not only showcases the talent and hard work of the team, but also sees them proudly representing North-West in the national tournament later this year. Image:The Go-to Guy(Saints Christian School Potchefstroom) Strong Performance with Bat and Ball The foundation for Saints’ victory was laid with the bat, as they posted a competitive total of 139/5 in their 20 overs. Despite losing two early wickets, captain Tshegofatso Monyela held the innings together with a crucial 44 off 36 balls, continuing her strong form throughout the season. Her partnership with Jessica “Chief” Joshua, who played a composed and unbeaten knock of 50* from 43 balls, helped Saints recover and build a solid total.💙💙 Jessica, leading from the front, struck six boundaries and maintained a healthy strike rate of 116.28, providing the stability needed in a tense final. Jessica’s partnership with Diarabilwe Ngubeni, who contributed a valuable 23 off 18 balls, was pivotal in shifting the momentum. Their 52-run stand came at a critical time, ensuring that Saints could post a competitive total despite early setbacks. Image:The Go-to Guy(Saints Christian School Potchefstroom) Saints’ Bowlers Seal the Victory Saints’ bowlers were relentless from the very start of Matlosana Hub’s innings. The team applied pressure with disciplined bowling, starting with economic spells from Gogontle “Gigi” Padi (0/16 in 4 overs) and Reabetswe Dithipe (1/13 in 4 overs).🏏 Reabetswe also took the important wicket of Lerato Koitokoane, with a brilliant caught-and-bowled effort that set the tone for the rest of the innings. The fielding was equally impressive, and Saints’ energy on the field lifted the team as the wickets began to fall. The first breakthrough came at 21/1, igniting jubilant celebrations both on and off the field.✨ The crowd’s support grew louder with every wicket as Matlosana Hub struggled to gain any momentum. Tshegofatso Monyela played a key role with the ball as well, claiming 2/19 with her tight spin bowling. Along with Siphokazi Duma, who kept the pressure on, the pair ensured that Matlosana Hub could never build a meaningful partnership. In the end, Matlosana fell more than 30 runs short of Saints’ total, giving the Saints’ girls a well-deserved victory. Image:The Go-to Guy(Saints Christian School Potchefstroom) A Testimony to Hard Work and Support This win is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the Saints’ coaching staff, who have been instrumental in developing the girls’ skills and fostering a winning mentality throughout the season.🔥🔥 The players demonstrated not only their talent but also their big match temperament, handling the pressure of the final with composure and confidence. The support from parents and school staff also played a key role, creating a unified and positive atmosphere that helped the girls perform at their best. The scenes of joy at the end of the match highlighted just how much this win meant to everyone involved. Looking Forward to Nationals With the North-West title secured, Saints Christian School’s u/19 girls now set their sights on the national tournament, where they will represent their province. The team will no doubt carry this momentum forward and look to continue their unbeaten streak on the bigger stage. This achievement serves as an inspiration to the entire school community, showcasing the incredible talent and determination of these young cricketers.Congratulations to the Saints’ u/19 girls, and best of luck as they prepare for the next challenge!🎉 For more photos of the match, visit Saints Christian School.🏏🏆 🏏🏆 🏏🏆 🏏🏆 🏏🏆 #SchoolsSA20 #Champions #SaintsCricket #NorthWestCricket #PotchGazette #TheGoToGuy #StroomStories #Potchefstroom #SkoolKompas

Sterkte aan Emmie se Pistoolskuts by Skyfskiet SA's 🔫🔫 🔫🔫 🔫🔫 🔫🔫 🔫🔫 Emmie is trots op Lufan Janse van Rensburg en Marnus van Rensburg wat van 23 tot 26 September aan die skyfskiet SA's by Castle de Wildt in Nylstroom deelneem.🎉Hierdie nasionale kompetisie is 'n groot geleentheid vir die twee skuts om hul vaardighede op 'n hoë vlak te toets en om Emmie met trots te verteenwoordig. Image:The Go-to Guy(Laerskool M.L. Fick) Lufan en Marnus het maande lank voorberei vir hierdie toernooi en gaan al hul tegniese vaardighede en geestelike fokus moet gebruik om teen die beste te kompeteer.💯Skyfskiet vereis nie net fisiese presisie nie, maar ook 'n kalm ingesteldheid. Hierdie jong manne het al bewys dat hulle op beide fronte kan presteer. Die Emmie-gemeenskap, afrigters en ouers speel 'n groot rol in hul sukses, en ons bedank almal wat hulle ondersteun.🙏 Die deelname aan hierdie toernooi is ook 'n bewys van die groeiende sportkultuur by Emmie, waar leerders die kans kry om in minder bekende sportsoorte uit te blink. Sterkte aan Lufan en Marnus! Die hele skool staan agter julle en glo julle sal die SA's met trots aanpak. 🔫🔫 🔫🔫 🔫🔫 🔫🔫 🔫🔫 #EmmieSport #SkyfskietSA #EmmieTrots #PotchGazette #TheGoToGuy #StroomStories #Potchefstroom #SkoolKompas
