ALIE-LAND HOU PRYSUITDELING EN GR. 7 AFSKEID / ALIE-LAND HOSTS THEIR PRIZE-GIVING CEREMONY AND GR. 7 FAREWELL.
GRONDSLAGFASE PRYSUITDELING | FP PRIZE GIVING
Op Donderdag, 22 Oktober 2026, het Laerskool Aliwal-Noord se Grondslagfase hul prysuitdeling gehou met die tema “Droom Groot”. Die geleentheid het die belangrikheid van groei, ontwikkeling en die unieke talente van elke leerder beklemtoon.
Mev. Bester het die oggend met skriflesing en gebed geopen.
Elke Grondslagfase-leerder het ’n boekprys ontvang as erkenning vir ’n besondere karaktereienskap. Ons glo dat jong leerders nie net vir akademiese prestasies erkenning moet ontvang nie, maar ook vir die unieke talente, vaardighede en eienskappe wat hulle besonders maak.
In die Grondslagfase fokus ons nie net op akademiese ontwikkeling nie, maar veral op die holistiese groei van elke leerder. Ons streef daarna om leerders toe te rus met die vaardighede en waardes wat hulle nodig het om in die toekoms suksesvol te wees.
’n Opregte dankie aan al die ouers wat hierdie spesiale dag saam met hul kinders kom geniet het. Julle betrokkenheid en ondersteuning maak elke mylpaal nóg meer besonders!
Dapper Vorentoe.
FOUNDATION PHASE PRIZE-GIVING
On Thursday, 22 October 2026, Aliwal North Primary School’s Foundation Phase held its prize-giving ceremony with the theme “Dream Big.” The event highlighted the importance of growth, development and each learner’s unique talents.
Mrs Bester opened the morning with a scripture reading and prayer.
Each Foundation Phase learner received a book prize in recognition of a special character trait. We believe that young learners should be recognized not only for their academic achievements, but also for the unique talents, skills and qualities that make them special.
In the Foundation Phase, we focus not only on academic development, but especially on the holistic growth of each learner. We strive to equip learners with the skills and values they need to be successful in the future.
A heartfelt thank you to all the parents who came to enjoy this special day with their children. Your involvement and support make every milestone even more special!
Boldly Onwards.

LSAN VS HANGKLIP KRIEKET
Hangklip Primary School came to Alie-Land on Tuesday, 20 October for an afternoon filled with cricket. Hangklip sent their u/7, u/8, u/9, u/11 and u/13 teams to come and play against us. The Alies players gave it their all in every over and showed the Alies fighting spirit until the end of each of their matches.
Congratulations to the u/8 team that impressively beat Hangklip with 42 runs. Unfortunately, the other cricket teams were not as lucky with their results, the u/9’s just fell short and lost their match with 1 run. The u/7, u/11 and u/13 teams unfortunately also lost their respective matches, but used the opportunity against the tough competition to develop and improve their cricketing skills. Even though not all the results went our way it was still a very fun and enjoyable afternoon of cricket all around.
Well done to all our cricketers for their hard work and commitment. Win or lose, the our fighting spirit always shines through!
A special thank you to Hangklip Primary School for an enjoyable afternoon of competitive cricket. We look forward to meeting again on the cricket field!
Laerskool Hangklip het op Dinsdag, 20 Oktober, ‘n besoek aan Alie-land gebring vir ‘n middag propvol krieket. Hangklip se o/7-, o/8-, o/9-, o/11- en o/13-spanne het teen ons ALIES kragte gemeet. Die Alies-spelers het in elke boulbeurt hul alles gegee en tot aan die einde van elke wedstryd die kenmerkende Alies-veggees gewys.
Baie geluk aan die o/8-span wat Hangklip op indrukwekkende wyse met 42 lopies geklop het! Ongelukkig was die ander krieketspanne nie so gelukkig met hul uitslae nie. Die o/9-span het naelskraaps met slegs een lopie verloor. Die o/7-, o/11- en o/13-spanne het ongelukkig ook hul onderskeie wedstryde verloor, maar het die geleentheid teen sterk teenstanders benut om hul krieketvaardighede verder te ontwikkel en waardevolle ondervinding op te doen.
Alhoewel nie al die uitslae in ons guns was nie, was dit steeds ‘n heerlike en genotvolle middag van krieket.
Welgedaan aan al ons krieketspelers vir hul harde werk en toewyding. Wen of verloor, ons veggees skyn altyd deur!
‘n Spesiale woord van dank aan Laerskool Hangklip vir ‘n aangename middag van mededingende krieket. Ons sien daarna uit om weer op die krieketveld kragte te meet!
ALIES MINI-KRIEKET / MINI-CRICKET
Laerskool Aliwal-Noord se jong krieketspelers het op Saterdag, 24 Oktober, na Laerskool Burgersdorp gereis om aan ’n opwindende Mini-Krieketdag deel te neem. Die dag het vir hope krieketpret, goeie sportmangees en waardevolle wedstrydervaring gesorg. Met verskeie skole wat aan die geleentheid deelgeneem het, het jong krieketspelers die kans gekry om hul vaardighede teen verskillende skole te toets en hul liefde vir die spel verder uit te leef.
Die o/7-seunspan het vir groot opgewondenheid gesorg met drie uitstekende oorwinnings uit hul vier wedstryde. Die spelers het goeie spanwerk en vasberadenheid getoon en kan met trots terugkyk op hul vertonings.
The u/7 mixed team, consisting of boys and girls, played four challenging matches. Although the results did not go their way, the young players participated with great enthusiasm and gained valuable experience. Each match provided opportunities to improve their batting, bowling, and fielding skills while learning the importance of teamwork and perseverance.
Die o/7-dogterspan het ook vier wedstryde gespeel. Hoewel die meisies ongelukkig nie daarin kon slaag om ’n oorwinning te behaal nie, het hulle die geleentheid gebruik om hul krieketvaardighede verder te ontwikkel. Die wedstryde het waardevolle blootstelling gebied en die meisies aangemoedig om aan te hou leer en verbeter.
The u/9 team was undoubtedly one of the highlights of the day, recording an outstanding four victories from four matches. Through excellent teamwork, confidence, and determination, the players turned their hard work during training into impressive results. It was an exceptionally successful day for the u/9 side, who can certainly be proud of their achievements.
’n Groot woord van dank gaan aan Laerskool Burgersdorp vir die aanbieding van die Mini-Krieketdag, asook aan die afrigters en ouers vir hul ondersteuning en aanmoediging. LSAN is trots op elke jong krieketspeler wat die skool verteenwoordig het. Die entoesiasme en liefde vir die spel wys dat die toekoms van Alies-krieket in goeie hande is!
A special word of thanks goes to Burgersdorp Primary School for hosting the Mini Cricket Day, as well as to the coaches and parents for their continued support and encouragement. ANPS is proud of every young cricketer who represented the school. The enthusiasm and love for the game shown by these young players highlight the promising future of ALIES cricket!

KRIEKET: LAERSKOOL ALIWAL-NOORD vs LAERSKOOL BURGERSDORP
Laerskool Aliwal-Noord se o/11- en o/13-krieketspanne het op Donderdag, 22 Oktober, hul laaste wedstryde van die seisoen teen Laerskool Burgersdorp gespeel. Dit was die afsluiting van ’n krieketseisoen waarin die spelers die geleentheid gehad het om hul vaardighede te ontwikkel, waardevolle ervaring op te doen en hul skool met trots te verteenwoordig.
The u/11 team faced a strong Burgersdorp side and unfortunately fell short. Although the result did not go their way, the young players showed great determination and continued giving their best until the end. The match provided another valuable learning experience for the team, who worked hard throughout the season to improve their batting, bowling, and fielding skills.
Die o/13-span het ook ’n uitdagende wedstryd teen Burgersdorp beleef. Ten spyte van hul pogings moes hulle uiteindelik die meerdere in hul teenstanders erken. Die spelers het egter goeie veggees getoon en hul laaste wedstryd met dieselfde vasberadenheid aangepak waarmee hulle deur die seisoen hul skool verteenwoordig het.
Although the season did not end with victories, the players can look back with pride on their hard work, dedication, and the valuable experience they gained throughout the year. Every match, whether a win or a loss, contributed to their development as cricketers and highlighted the importance of teamwork, discipline, and good sportsmanship
Ons sê ook baie dankie vir Wiehan Janse van Rensburg wat foto’s geneem het van die wedstryde.
