Auriel Thys, our girl hailing from The Crags completed her primary schooling at The Crags Primary, where she also joined the Born in Africa program. From there, she progressed to Wittedrift Highschool, where she completed her secondary education at the end of 2025. Her parents worked extremely hard to ensure she gained an excellent education from Wittedrift High, as this is one of our model C school fees paying schools. Auriel, who has always been extremely passionate about netball, played this sport from a very young age. We are incredibly proud to announce that she commenced her first year as a tertiary student in 2026, studying a higher certificate in fitness at ETA College in George. Auriel specifically chose this road as she wants to learn more about guiding and helping others to reach their full potential through sport and fitness and especially those living with special needs. How incredible that once she has completed her tertiary education, she is also thinking about joining the South African Defense Force. For now, however, her focus is the body, how incredible it is, and the gift that we must use our bodies to play sport, and win! We wish Auriel a wonderful 1st year as a tertiary student!
