Hoërskool Marais Viljoen finally unveiled its Astro hockey pitch when a debut match took place to open it.
Principal Dr Johlet Krause led the unveiling on March 2 and held a balloon to mark the occasion, accompanied by the school’s first team hockey captains, Frances-Jane Dahms and Thendo Singo.
The balloons signified a fresh start, learners’ dreams flying high, and hope for a successful season.
“It is a special way to start a new era for Marais Viljoen’s hockey. Our first hockey team and other hockey teams played their first games at our school’s new Astro field this weekend, dedicating the field with a meaningful gesture. We look forward to many matches on this new field,” said the school’s statement.
The hockey players lined up in a guard of honour while learners watched Krause, the captains, and the players walk through it.
