Blood Bank visit
On September 6 the Blood Bank visited Sarel Cilliers after school. An amazing 31 learners donated blood and the visitors were very impressed with the polite behaviour and general friendliness of the learners. Sarel Cilliers thanks every learner who supported this drive and hope that more of you will support this critical cause in future.
Tennis
On September 9 our tennis teams played their league match against Vryheid High School. Franci-Mari Gregory and Siphesihle Msane own their respective matches and Julien Kriel, Liezel Viljoen and the doubles team of Georgia Viljoen and Sonja Ackerman all had an 8-7 draw. Thank you to Mr Van Der Westhuizen for his support.
Sarel Cilliers Library Makes Donation to SPCA
Mrs Pretorius from the library at Sarel Cilliers had collected money for the SPCA. We would like to thank her for the initiative and all the learners who contributed.
Cricket
Sarel Cilliers faced Newcastle High School last week for their cricket league match. Sarel Cilliers batted first and after a good bowling performance from Newcastle, they restricted our batsmen to 63 runs all out. Sarel Cilliers took to the field and after a very spirited bowling display, managed to restrict Newcastle to 51 runs all out after 10 overs. Willem Husselman took 5 wickets for 18 runs and Dewan Bezuidenhout took 3 wickets for 17 runs. Sarel Cilliers’ cricket continues to grow.
