Although not the result we were after, we are very proud of the boys for the manner in which they conducted themselves throughout the day. Hosting and competing at a gathering of this size is no small task, and the boys handled the demands of the day exceptionally well.

Thank you as well to the parents, staff, Old Boys and supporters who contributed to the success of the event. Days like this are only possible because of the wider band community, and we are deeply grateful for your support. A special word of thanks must go to Mr Orr and Mr Nixon, along with their team in making this possible.

Enjoy a well-deserved holiday, gents! 🇭🇺

Yesterday the Form V Geography, History and Tourism boys visited the Lephereng Construction site and the Apartheid Museum 🇭🇺

FORM II INTEGRATED LEARNING

The Integrated Learning Programme aimed to teach the boys to use knowledge from multiple subjects to help make an informed decision regarding which crop their employer should plant on a plot of land, analyse financial data and do finance calculations, and design a business plan.

Ms Lomarie Janse van Rensburg, a PhD candidate from North West University, came to speak to the boys about the different careers in Natural and Agricultural Science as part of the Integrated Learning Program that was held this week.

The PBHS Fencing Invitational Open is being held on the 27th of June 2026. We look forward to seeing you there! 🤺🇭🇺

To our fathers, father figures, uncles, grandpas and all the strong, treasured men in our community - happy Father's Day!
