UHS Welcomes Mrs Linda Rowe

Union High School is delighted to welcome Mrs Linda Rowe to our team of educators.
Mrs Rowe – who boasts 33 years’ experience in the education sector – will be teaching Afrikaans to the school’s Grade 8s and 9s.
Mrs Rowe recently settled in Graaff-Reinet after having moved here from Orkney where she served as an educator at Milner High School in the nearby Klerksdorp.
Mrs Rowe brings with her both a passion and enthusiasm for teaching and we are proud to have her on board!

Calvin Beck Takes The Reins As Hockey Coach

Union High School is incredibly excited to announce the appointment of Mr Calvin Beck as our new Head of Hockey and Sports Administrator.
Mr Beck is one of the top young coaches in South African youth hockey today and is committed to building a strong programme here at Union.
Before joining Union, Mr Beck served as the Head of Hockey at Hoërskool Jim Fouché in Bloemfontein, where he coached both the girls’ and boys’ squads while being responsible for the overall development of hockey as a sport at the school.
Prior to this, he served as coach to the University of the Free State’s 2nd men’s hockey team and assisted the 1st team. He also enjoyed a 7-year tenure as the coach of the Central University of Technology’s hockey teams (four with the women’s squad and three with the men’s).
In addition to this, he boasts a long-standing association with Free State Hockey – as coach, selector and head of High Performance for teams from u/16 through to senior level.
To say that we are excited about the wealth of knowledge and breadth of experience Mr Beck is bringing with him to the benefit of our players, is an understatement.
We look forward to a bright future for Union hockey with Mr Beck at the helm.
