On Wednesday afternoon, 17 April, Union High School hosted its very first competitive shooting league event.
Twelve UHS competitors took part in this sporting contest against the top shooters from Hoër Volkskool and Marlow Agricultural High School.
The event – which was held at the HVS shooting range – was a great success and saw the Union shooters achieve some very good results.
Union High School would like to extend our sincere gratitude and appreciation to Mr. William Biggs who gifted the school with five 60-seater stands for our sports grounds.
These new stands will enable us to increase the spectator seating capacity next to our sports fields and in so doing, give parents, visitors and supporters a better experience when they attend sports days hosted by the school.
A word of thanks is also extended to Mr. Shawn Botha of Botha’s Garage who provided transport for the stands to the school. It is immensely appreciated.
Mrs. Christine Scott, an educator as well as school and career guidance counsellor at Union High School, recently successfully obtained her certification as an ILT practitioner.
Developed by Educational Psychologist, Dr. Shirley Kokot, Integrated Learning Therapy (ILT) strives to uncover the root causes of children’s learning difficulties and behavioural challenges in order to help them overcome them.
Mrs. Scott, who has always sought ways to widen the scope of help available… to learners at UHS, completed the ILT practitioner course in order to empower her with the knowledge needed to recognise the possible causes of learning difficulties in children and to then, initiate remedial movement and other activities in order to help.
Mrs. Scott encourages parents of children who experience learning and behavioural challenges to visit the ILT website to find out more about the efficacy of ILT: https://www.ilt.co.za/
