UHS 1st XI vs BB Invitational

Union’s 1st team cricket boys travelled to the Asante Sana Private Game Reserve on Friday, 12 March, to take on the Brian Bands Invitational XI.
Brian Bands won the toss and elected to bat first.
The Union boys bowled with good control in windy conditions and managed to create chances very early on, but failed to capitalise by dropping a few catches.
This did not dampen the boysโ€™ spirit, however, and they kept at it, restricting Brian Bands to 147 all out in 35 overs. Unionโ€™s best bowlers were Josh Calitz (4 for 17 in 5 overs) and Laythan Carelse (2 for 8 in 3 overs).
The Union team then went in to bat, chasing down the total of 147. The top order laid a solid foundation with some valuable partnerships upfront, combatting some excellent bowling from the Brian Bands cricketers.
In the end, Union managed to successfully cross the line, winning by 4 wickets, with 5 overs to spare.
Unionโ€™s best batsmen were Sisipho Arnols (32), Rogan Odendaal (31), Joshua Horne (22), Josh Calitz (18*) and MJ Newton (14*).

Eco Club gives all our learners who are interested in the environment a chance to meet, learn, discuss and expand their knowledge of environmental issues.
During their meeting on Wednesday afternoon, 17 March,, it was all about dogs as they kicked off a three-part series of hands-on lessons about pets and how to care for them.
This series encourages children to think about respect for pets and what they bring to the lives of human beings. They will understand that by providing animals with basic needs and treating animals with kindness and respect, they are demonstrating responsible pet care, environmental stewardship and acting as responsible citizens of the community.

As we await the results of our 2021 School Governing Body (SGB)ย elections – which were successfully held today, Friday, 19 March – Union High School would like to extend a vote of thanks to our outgoing SGB parent members for their consistent involvement and loyal service, having made a significant difference to our 102-year-old school during their tenure.

As a well-balanced unit, they have complemented one another in professional skills brought to the table, showing collective mindfulness and prudence towards the needs of the Union school community, in so doing ensuring that many significant achievements were realised during their watch.

Seen here is Unionโ€™s SGB Deputy Chair Mr Kelvin Kayster, presenting the outgoing SGB Chairman, Mr David Langmead, with a token of the schoolโ€™s appreciation. The responsibility of being the SGBโ€™s Chairman is onerous and the tasks daunting. Mr David Langmead, however, performed his duties with dedication and tenacity these past three years and for that we thank him sincerely.

As a school community, we are truly indebted to ALL the members of the Governing Body for the time, commitment, professionalism, dedication and effort put into the school and thank them all for their committed support in ensuring the continued success of the Union High School.
