This past weekend, Union High School’s 𝟭𝗦𝗧 𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠 𝗛𝗢𝗖𝗞𝗘𝗬 𝗚𝗜𝗥𝗟𝗦 proved that they are not just athletes – they are leaders dedicated to making a positive impact in their community.
Rather than waiting for donations to come their way, these exceptional young women took matters into their own hands by organising a plastic bottle collection and recycling initiative. Their efforts not only aim to raise funds for upcoming tours but also contribute to cleaning up our beloved town.
While many were enjoying the weekend, the hockey girls were busy showcasing their commitment to both their sport and the environment.
(Even those representing Union in tennis at the Burgersdorp tournament joined in the effort, bringing back bottles in a true show of teamwork and dedication.)

But the effort doesn’t stop there! The hockey team is now issuing a challenge to the Graaff-Reinet community: can you match their incredible commitment to raising funds and cleaning up the environment? Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a difference and helps both the team and the planet.
