Op 1 Augustus was daar ’n behoorlike see van blou toe ons Voorie-maatjies aan die SALA (South African Literacy Association) se semi-finale rondte vir Voorbereide Lees en Redenaars deelgeneem het.

Voories was trots om as gasheer op te tree en hierdie besondere rondte sommer op ons eie voorstoep aan te bied.

Ons is trots op elke leerder wat die moed gehad het om op te staan, hul stem te laat hoor en hul beste te gee. Só groei selfvertroue, taalvaardigheid én karakter.

Nou wag ons met groot afwagting om te hoor wie na die Nasionale Finaal deurdring. Baie sterkte, Voories — ons hou duim vas!

Baie geluk aan Emily Davie wat op 15 Augustus aan die Southern Cape Schools Cycling MTB XCO #4 deelgeneem en ’n uitstekende 3de plek behaal het!

Wat dié prestasie ekstra besonders maak, is dat dit maar Emily se tweede bergfietswedren was sedert sy die sport meer ernstig begin aanpak het. Sy het ’n uitdagende baan met waterhindernisse, modder, pump-track-hobbels en steil klimme aangepak — en gewys dat ’n mens met moed en vasberadenheid ver kan kom.

Mooi gery, Emily! Ons sien uit om jou groei op twee wiele dop te hou.

She tackled a challenging course featuring water obstacles, mud, pump-track bumps and steep climbs — showing just how far courage and determination can take you.

Well ridden, Emily! We look forward to watching you grow on two wheels.
