1st Cricket Fixture in October

Our first cricket fixture of the 2021/22 season will be played shortly after the start of the 4th term in October.
Rarely has our squad of players and all our staff looked forward to a season like this one. With everything that the country has been through in the past two years, we are so excited to be gearing up for a full cricket season and have a very real hope of the imminent return of our glorious supporters to cheer us on.

Weโ€™re digging into a new gardening adventure this week, with the revitalisation of the flower beds in Union High Schoolโ€™s main quad.

Mrs Amy Swart
As a result of the prolonged drought, the once lush-looking garden has been left looking uncommonly dry and barren.
Mrs Amy Swart was therefore tasked with redesigning the garden and, today, with the assistance of Mr Frederick Japhta, the beautification process was started.
For the redesign, Mrs Swart chose a palette of plants that are attractive, low maintenance, drought-tolerant and indigenous to the area.
After barely a day of toiling in the soil, the garden is already showing a lot of promise and we can’t wait to see how this garden will look in a couple of months when the plants have settled in and established themselves.

Learner Attends TSA Clinic

Talented young tennis player and Grade 8 learner at Union, Tara Ferreira, attended Tennis South Africa’s Regional Training Camp in Port Elizabeth this past weekend, 17 to 18 September.
This high-performance training clinic was a wonderful opportunity for Tara to help her prepare for the Inter-Provincial Tournament against the Western Cape taking place this coming weekend, in which she’ll be representing the Eastern Province in the u/13 age category.

Gr 7 LO – Nutrition

Union High Schoolโ€™s Grade 7 Life Orientation curriculum currently sees the learners focussing on ๐—ก๐—จ๐—ง๐—ฅ๐—œ๐—ง๐—œ๐—ข๐—ก and physical activity, with lessons centering around optimal nutrition and teaching children the importance of taking ownership of their own health.
To reinforce what theyโ€™ve been covering in class, Miss Charlene de Jager, a dietician at the Midlands Hospital, visited the Grade 7 classes on Tuesday, 21 September, to talk to them about a healthy diet and lifestyle.
Miss de Jager shared some very valuable insight with the learners, which weโ€™re sure will assist them in making better choices to nourish their bodies and help them feel their best.
Union High School extends its grateful thanks to Miss de Jager for taking the time to engage with our learners.
