Saturday the 9th of April was yet an-other great day for Paul Roos rugby. The school dominated the rugby scene at the annual interschools against

Grey High in PE once again, lo-sing only two games, the U/14As and

U/19Bs throughout the day.The Maroon Machine did PRG proud

at the first big home fixture of the sea-son and all spectators were treated to a nail-biting game between PRG 1st and Grey 1st. Paul Roos led for the major-ity of the game, but an unexpected late red card (against winger David Moses) left a strong possibility of Grey

scoring a last-minute victory. However, the Men in Maroon held

out to the last minute, winning con-

vincingly with a final score of 36-21.The tactical kicking and all-round

awesomeness of Damien Willemse, the Paul Roos’s SA Schools fly-half, played a crucial role in the Paul Roos’ victory, with stalwart Josh Vermeulen

covering from the back of the field.The entire school is looking forward

to the same ruthless vigour against Paarl Gym this weekend.

The Maroon Machine is in high gear after a successful weekend against Grey High School. The results pub-lished in this week's edition speak for themselves. Paul Roos followed David Lee Moses’ example and threw the knockout punch, sending Grey home on the bus licking their wounds with

their tails between their legs. Their dreams were shattered and

their hopes dashed, but they'll no doubt be waiting for us next year,

looking for revenge. Concipio has launched a new initia-

tive where a photo publication will be released on our

@semper_concipio_prg Instagram page. Keep an eye out for the photos, you might just be featured! The pub-lished photos are the work product of our school's fantastic photography team under the leadership of Thomas

Moss.The exams are looming in the dis-

tance like a thunderstorm and teach-ers and parents alike seem to be playing the weather man, intent on making us aware of the impending

storm. Like with storms, there gene-rally isn't much you can do to change the cerainty that the exams are upon

us. The fact of the matter is that no mat-

ter how much the weather man warns you about the storm, it's up to you to

grab an umbrella.

Flow of traffic on the school premises of Paul Roos Gymnasium

The increase in traffic and the increasing safety risks to our learners have made it necessary for the management to implement the following:

In future the main entrance will be an entrance only. The following parking will be available on the parking area near the hostels for visitors to the following points: • Hostel • Gymnasium • OomPolla • School • AquaticcentreThe exit, which is at Nova hostel, is clearly indicated.The road in front of the school thus becomes a one way, with traffic flowing

from the main entrance past the Japie Krige Hall to the LPR building and the Paul Roos Centre.

The following parking will be available to visitors to the following points ONLY: • Rector • Marketingoffice • OldBoys’office • PaulRoosCentreThe exit is an automatic gate which is at the far end of the tarred road that runs

past the front of the LPR building.The big gate at the Spar field will still give you access to the parking at the Paul Roos Centre, for incoming and outgo-

ing traffic during the following times: • 7:30-8:00 • 14:00-14:40

PaulRooshetopVrydag8Aprildiejaarlikse gholfkompetisie teen Grey High aangepak en gewen. Die spelers het douvoordag by Devonvale-gholf-baan in groepe van vier begin speel.

Ondanks die droogte was die baan in 'n goeie toestand en die setperke puik en vinnig. Die weer het ook mooi saamgespeel en 'n lekker dag se gholf

was in die vooruitsig.Na27gatesebeterbal-enputjiespel

het die resultate soos volg gelyk:

1ste span wen 5-12de span wen 3.5-2.53de span wen 5.5-0.5

4de span wen 5-15de span wen 5-1

Ons skool se nommer-een-speler, Niehaus Loots, het dit reggekry om sy wedstryd vroeg klaar te maak toe hy ses op was met vyf gate wat voorlê. Die afrigter, mnr. Tienie Hendricks, onder die spelers beter bekend as oom Tienie, uncle T, oupa Tienie, oupa T of Tienkels, glo dat hierdie moontlik Paul Roos se beste oorwinning in al

sy jare by die skool is. “Dit was ’n baie lekker dag en die weer was gunstig. Later het daar ’n ligte windjie gewaai om die spelers ’n bietjie te toets,” sê

oom Tienie. Devonvale se setperke was van uit-

stekende gehalte en sommige spelers het dit “uitdagend vinnig” genoem. Mnr. Neville Rothman en die afrigter

het selfs ’n rondtetjie teen Grey se spanbestuurders ingepas.

Dit was darem ook nie net kompeti-sie nie – orals het opponente gesels, komplimente gegee en vir mekaar ge-

juig. Met resultate soos hierdie sien ons

hopelik weer oor twee jaar talle onder-steuners by Devonvale.

Twee van Paul Roos se spanne het Maandag in winderige toestande aan die Boland-Kampioenskap op Worcester deelgeneem. Paul Roos se eerste span het derde geeindig ná die kampioene, De Villiers Graaff en HJS Paarl ( 2de ) wat ons met een hou ge-klop het. Paul Roos se uitblinker van die dag was Niehaus Loots met 73houe. Met hierdie oorwinning het De Villiers Graaff nou ook gekwalifiseer om saam met Paul Roos die Boland te gaan verteenwoordig by die SA skole

op 4 en 5 Augustus in Oos Londen.

Humbling Hockey

Charl Smit

On8April2016,PaulRoos’sfirsthockeyteam experienced a slight setback after losing against Grey High by 1-2 in Stel-

lenbosch. Champions are made long before lights,

crowds and trophies surround them. Eve-ryone is motivated during the big game, but true champions are competitors in practice and in play. They have the will to compete, to train, and to prepare weeks and months ahead of any match, as Paul Roos’s first hockey team had been doing for months before Grey High. Grey High

certainly did the same. Both teams played excellent hockey, but

this game belonged to Grey High. They had come for revenge after Paul Roos

smashed them on home soil last year.Andrew Hobson, the captain of Paul

Roos’s first hockey team, also chosen for the SA U/21 hockey team, played a re-

markable game. Janlu Nieuwoudt was responsible for the

Paul Roos goal from a penalty flick.Pressure is a magnifying glass exposing

all of the small cracks in a team’s confi-dence. The unforgettable 2015 hockeyseason for Paul Roos was notably a hard

act to follow. But the atmosphere and the spirit at the

Astro was undoubtedly matchless. There will always be a winning squad

and a losing one. As expected, the win-ner may experience a broad range of emotions in varying degrees of intensity.

He may feel ecstatic, satisfied, confident, superior, happy, relaxed, humble, empa-thy for the loser or any number of other feelings, even including sad and let-down. Similarly, the loser experiences his own wide range of emotions from distraught, depressed, angry, resentful, sad, anxious, like a failure, frustrated, cheated, or some-times even satisfied and successful. Paul Roos and Grey High’s first hockey teams

can definitely testify to this.But instead of concerning yourself with

the score, be a competitor. Who is coming in first during the

sprints? Beat them. Who stays after practice to catch a few

more throws? Catch more. This is the typical mindset of a great

sportsman and team. If all sportsmen in Paul Roos live ac-

cording to such a maxim – great things await them.

A competitor’s hunger for improvement is never satisfied. Winning and losing must not be the ultimate barrier for “suc-cess” – improving your game should re-

main your goal.Making mistakes is better than fa-

king perfection. There is still a full sea-son ahead.

Stay humble. Stay loyal. Paul Roos is forever.

Debating vs Grey: On fast food, pharmaceuticals and prisoners as guinea pigs

Simon Brand

Should prisoners be allowed to un-dergo drug trails in order to receive lesser sentences? Should fast-food re-tailers be banned from giving out toys with their food? These were the mat-ters at issue during the two debates that took place as part of the inter-schools

competition against Grey College. Paul Roos was represented at both senior and junior levels in this clash Luke von Holdt, Alten du Plessis and

Nathan Garret – comprising the senior PRG team – managed to assert a close but certain victory over their Grey

counterparts. As the opposition in their debate,

they had to reject the proposal of using reduced prison sentences as an incen-tive for inmates to take part in the test-ing of hazardous experimental drugs. Our junior team (Elliot Cutler,

Teague Heyneke and Matt Britz) however, did not manage to better

our rival in their proposition of a ban on the toys that accompany fast food.

PRG Dagboek

Vroegherfs vir Paul Roos KultuurDie kultuurjaar word ryp in goue akkerblare, in wingerd wat verbruin, en witter lug … So beskryf die digter NP van Wyk Louw die Bolandse herfs. Maar hy kon netsowel die kultuurseisoen wat op Paul Roos wag beetgehad het. Vriende, na ‘n jaar van groot feesvieringe beloof PRG Kultuur om steeds die golf van groot feesvieringe te ry. Hier is ‘n paar flitse vir wat die dag van môre vir ons inhou.

Redenaars Na afloop van die eerste rondte ATKV-uitdunne wat vroeër vanjaar by Hoërskool Parel Vallei plaasgevind het, blyk dit dat Paul Roos se redenaars steeds die somer belewe.
