Goals For Good: Van Wyk Theron

In a small town, a business does not earn 75 years of support by chance. It earns it through trust, service and a willingness to show up for the community, year after year.

Union High School is proud to continue our ๐—š๐—ข๐—”๐—Ÿ๐—ฆ ๐—™๐—ข๐—ฅ ๐—š๐—ข๐—ข๐—— series by recognising the generous support of ๐—ฉ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ช๐˜†๐—ธ ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ป, a respected local accounting firm whose offices are situated at 38 Somerset Street, Graaff-Reinet, and which has served the community with professionalism and integrity for an extraordinary 75 years.

This partnership is made even more special by the firmโ€™s strong Union connection.

His familyโ€™s ties to the Union Schools run even deeper – his wife is a Grade 2 teacher at Union Preparatory School, while their four-year-old son, Nathan, has recently begun his own journey at Union Pre-School. There is always something especially meaningful about former pupils choosing to give back to the school and town that helped shape them.
