For the last three years, the Poorboys have brought nothing but excellence to the stage, winning Overall Campus Serenade for three consecutive years and even claiming victory at the National Atterbury Acapella Competition in 2024.

Ons is onbeskryflik opgewonde om te sien wat hulle vanjaar kan oplewer en staan bankvas agter elke Patriaan wat vanaand die planke betree.

This past weekend we hosted the annual Patria Golf Day at Parys Golf Estate, and what a privilege it was. From old boys to current residents and their families, the Patrians showed their true colours once again.

Well done to our Golf Day HC member, Heinrich Potgieter, on organizing an amazing event.

‘n Massiewe dankie aan elkeen wat deelgeneem het, asook elke Patriaan agter die skerms wat gehelp het met die opslaan en seker gemaak het dat die dag perfek vloei.

Dit was ongelooflik om so ‘n besonderse groep mense bymekaar te hê – van ‘n groot groep Old Boys tot die manne in die koshuis self wat kom uitslaan het. Die broederskap loop sterk!

Baie geluk aan ons top gholfers vir die dag:
🥇 1ste plek: Nico Bresler
🥈 2de plek: Jian de Beer
🥉 3de plek: Kobus van der Westhuizen

More than just the scoreboard, this season was a true testament to the respect, dedication, and brotherhood that defines us.Well done to every player who put in the hours of practice and gave their all, and to every supporter who backed the team from the sidelines.

With this past weekend marking the 12th annual Patria July, we had the honour of having our Miss Patria July 2025 do her last walk.

Looking back at her year as Miss Patria July has made us realise how blessed we are.

Haar laaste keer op die verhoog was verseker een wat ons nooit sal vergeet nie, en ons is hartseer om dié hoofstuk af te sluit, maar ons sien uit na die volgende een.

Dankie larissa klopper🍊 💙

Starting on the grass of the residence, moving to Snowflake and now being the biggest student festival in South Africa,
we are borderline emotional seeing how Patria July has grown.

Die twaalfde jaar van Patria July kom nie net met enorme groei nie, maar ook met herinneringe wat ons so dankbaar maak vir hoe die Vader ons hande net versterk in alles wat ons aanpak.
