On Thursday, 24 February, the "Big Brag" took place. During the ‘big brag’ we announced the Inter High team to the school and our community, as well as showed the performance of the inter high cheerleaders. With all the hard work that the athletes and coaches put in, it is only fair to brag about them.
This past weekend, some Ben Viljoeners took part in the Farm Jam: Hare Scramble Isiyala Forever Resort near Loskop Dam. It was the first Farm Jam event for the year.
The Bisley Year kicked off with the first competition that took place at HTS Middelburg on 18 and 19 February 2022.
The competition rules returned to normal, where eight cards are shot instead of five, and the total score is out of 1600 points and not just out of 1000 points.
It's the school's official Birthday!
75 years ago on 21 February 1947 the school opened its doors as a junior high school with only eight staff members and 185 learners!
Seventy-five years of pride, achievements and gratitude. We celebrate the success stories of people's hard work, as well as their time and money invested in an educational institution that became a beacon in Limpopo. As we celebrate the history of the school, we are equally excited about the new season ahead.
The Limpopo Swimming Championships took place this past weekend and our swimmers achieved excellent results.
On Friday, 11 February 2022, the Elbé Pretorius memorial athletics meet took place on our home field.
In 1990, (Dr) Hannes Pretorius ran the 100m for boys u/14 in a time of 11.90. Many Groblersdal and Marble Hallers remember this race well as it is a record that has stood for the past 32 years. It was also the oldest record improved during Friday's event.
Just more than four weeks ago, the brand new grade eight "turtles" arrived at Hoërskool Ben Viljoen. After a busy four weeks full of activities, from sports to academics and culture, introducing them to the Ben Viljoen pace, they became true Ben Viljoeners on Tuesday, 8 February 2022 during the bell-ringing ceremony.
This past weekend, a few Ben Viljoeners took part in the GXCC (Gauteng Xcross Country Club) enduro that took place in Verena.
The Ambassadors' Council camp took place at UBhetyan-O-Africa just outside Middelburg. There have been several team building activities and the role it plays in leadership has also been strengthened anew. At this camp, the leaders also learned more about each other as human beings and also how to act in different situations at school.
On Friday, 28 January 2022, our athletes together with athletes from Hoërskool Kanonkop, Rietondale High and Hoërskool Erasmus, participated in a friendly event that took place at Hoërskool Erasmus in Bronkhorstspruit.
Our athletes performed excellently and won 60 gold medals, 32 silver medals and 27 bronze medals.
