We had the honour of handing over the senior camp shirts to our new seniors who recently went on senior camp. This long standing tradition allows the new seniors to step on the horse in our clubhouse. We have a very strong group of new seniors in the residence and we hope they can carry the residence forward with pride and integrity. πβ€οΈ
[β’]
Ons het die eer gehad om die seniorkamphemde aan ons nuwe seniors te oorhandig wat onlangs op seniorkamp gegaan het. Hierdie langdurige tradisie laat die nuwe seniors toe om in ons klubhuis op die perd te trap. Ons het 'n baie sterk groep nuwe seniors in die koshuis en ons hoop dat hulle die koshuis met trots en integriteit kan voortdra. πβ€οΈ

The new Deputy Prim of Villagers for 2025/2026: Kevin Jordaan
βVillagers has become more than just a residence β itβs my home. From domination on the sports fields to dedication on the stage, and every askie in between, weβre united through one powerful βCheers Cheersβ. My mission is to elevate Villagers into its next chapter. Whether itβs guiding our vulletjies or supporting our seniors, no stone will be left unturned. I am here to serve, support and help Villagers grow and thrive into a new era.β
βIf you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kingsβnor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty secondsβ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything thatβs in it,
Andβwhich is moreβyouβll be a Man, my son!β - Rudyard Kipling
My Onder Prim my trots!π
