Slippers, Sunshine and Strong Running!
On Friday, 29 May, our school’s cross-country athletes participated in another exciting league event, number 4. The day was made even more special as it was also Slipper Day at school, with learners proudly showing off their slippers before changing into their running gear.
Despite the winter season, the weather treated us to a warm and sunny afternoon — perfect conditions for cross-country running.
‘n Totaal van 16 leerders het aan die byeenkoms deelgeneem. Die afstande het gewissel van 1 km tot 4 km, met seuns en meisies van verskillende ouderdomsgroepe wat ons skool met trots verteenwoordig het.
Our runners gave their very best on the course. They competed with determination, encouraged one another, and displayed excellent sportsmanship throughout the afternoon. It was wonderful to see the learners support one another while striving to achieve their personal goals.
Die landloopspan het weereens bewys dat harde werk, deursettingsvermoë en spangees hand aan hand gaan. Elke deelnemer het met trots gehardloop en hulle alles gegee.
We are incredibly proud of all 16 athletes who represented our school so well. Their dedication, positive attitudes, and willingness to give their all made it a successful and memorable day for everyone involved.

RUGBY IN ALIE-LAND
LSAN’s rugby teams welcomed Oakwood Primary to their home field in Aliwal North on Saturday, 30 May. With ideal rugby conditions, enthusiastic supporters, and players eager to represent their school, the day produced excellent rugby and impressive results
Die o/7-span het die dag goed afgeskop met ’n sterk vertoning en ’n 2–1 oorwinning oor Oakwood Primary. Die jong spelers het groot entoesiasme getoon en met vasberadenheid gespeel om die wedstryd in hul guns te beklink.
The u/9 team followed with an outstanding display, defeating their opponents 50–5. From the opening whistle, the team controlled the match through excellent teamwork, strong defence, and sharp attacking play.
Die o/11-span het voortgebou op die momentum en ’n indrukwekkende 52–5 oorwinning behaal. Die spelers het uitstekende dissipline getoon en mekaar goed ondersteun, wat gelei het tot ’n baie sterk spanvertoning.
The u/13 team added to the day’s success with a well-earned 34–21 victory. Although Oakwood provided strong opposition, LSAN’s players showed character, determination, and teamwork to secure the win.
Daar is ook ’n vriendskaplike o/8-wedstryd gespeel tussen die Blou- en Maroon Alie-spanne. Die wedstryd was vol opwinding en goeie sportmangees, met die twee spanne wat uiteindelik 7–7 gelykop gespeel het.
It was a highly successful day for LSAN rugby, with all of the competitive teams recording victories. The players represented their school with pride, while the support from the sidelines helped create a fantastic atmosphere. The day once again highlighted the strong rugby culture and community spirit that exists within LSAN.
NUWE VOORKOMS VIR DIE SIEKEKAMER
Laerskool Aliwal-Noord se siekekamer het onlangs ‘n splinternuwe voorkoms gekry en die resultaat is werklik pragtig. Die opgeknapte ruimte skep nou ‘n netjiese, rustige en vriendelike atmosfeer waar leerders gemaklik en veilig kan voel wanneer hulle nie lekker voel nie.
‘n Groot woord van dank gaan aan Riandri Heyns vir haar hulp en moeite met die mooimaak van die siekekamer. Haar kreatiwiteit en harde werk het ‘n groot verskil gemaak en word opreg waardeer.
Baie dankie aan almal wat betrokke was by hierdie besondere projek!
ALIES ATKV-TAK
Op 25 Mei 2026 het ATKV Tak-Alies Internasionale Museumdag gevier saam met ons plaaslike museum, asook die hoërskool se ATKV Tak-Buffels.
The Aliwal Museum hosted a “Night at the Museum” event. It was a magical evening during which the museum came alive with characters from Aliwal North’s history. We would like to thank our community for supporting this event so generously and for embracing it with such a positive spirit. Our ATKV club was responsible for ticket sales, the curry-and-rice stall, as well as the coffee and cold drink stall. There was also live entertainment by “de Band”, which contributed greatly to the atmosphere and success of the evening.
Die ATKV het die voorreg om jaarliks ’n persoon of instansie in die gemeenskap te identifiseer wat deur onbaatsugtige diens ’n waardevolle bydrae lewer. Hierdie persoon of instansie word dan met die ATKV se “Klop-op-die-Skouer”-toekenning vereer. Ons wil graag die museum en Annelize de Villiers gelukwens met die ontvangs van hierdie welverdiende toekenning. Dankie vir julle toewyding om die geskiedenis van ons dorp te bewaar en lewendig te hou vir toekomstige geslagte.
Ons as ATKV tak is baie opgewonde om jaarliks die komitee van die Aliwal Museum se hande te neem en hierdie projek aan te pak.
