LAST week our first team and our u/11 rugby team took part in the Pongola Rugby Week.
The first team did very well against teams of much larger schools from as far afield as Gauteng and Mpumalanga. The results were as follows (NRS scores first): against Pretoria-Oos 19-10, Taalfees 20-12, Lydenburg 31-12, Huttenpark 19-20 and Drakensberg 52-0.
Ndumiso Dludla received the trophy for the best backline player of the tournament. Of all the u/13 teams, the first team of NRS scored the most tries. Eventually NRS was placed second in the tournament. Congratulations!
The results of our u/11 team were as follows (NRS scores first): against Huttenpark 24-10, Taalfees 10-26, Lydenburg 10-25, Pretoria-Oos 26-5 and Volksrust 12-14. The following players were singled out as the man of the match in the respective matches: Jason Janse van Vuuren, Seneme Mntambo, Thobani Zungu, Lusanda Buthelezi and Juandry Coetzee. Well done, boys! Thank you to Mr I Potgieter, Mr L Müller, Mr M Stride and Mr J Jonker, who accompanied and supported our boys.
Swimming: On Friday, March 27, the Foundation Phase held its annual Watersplash Gala. It was a fun day that was enjoyed by all. Thank you to all the parents who supported this event.

Hockey: From March 26 to 28, our first team took part in a girls’ hockey tournament in Utrecht. The results were as follows (NRS scores first): against Glencoe 10-0, Michaelis 0-0, Paulpietersburg 0-2, Utrecht 1-3 and in the finals against Utrecht 0-4. NRS was placed second in the tournament. Well done, girls! Thank you to Mr R Greyling and Miss C Cloete who accompanied them.
School Governing Body election: On Wednesday, March 25, our parents turned up in their numbers to vote for their representatives. The following parents were elected: Mrs S Paruk, Mrs M Zungu, Mr B Zulu, Mrs M van Greuning, Mr C Mattison and Mr S van Greuning. We wish them well for their term of office.
Road safety: Last week a Grade 1 learner from NRS was run over by a car in Utrecht Street after school. Despite the fact that the school regularly alerts the children on road safety, we also appeal to parents and taxi drivers to remind the children not to run across the street from behind a vehicle. Children should only cross the street at the stop signs.
We wish our learners and their parents a blessed Easter and a happy holiday. Please drive safely.
