‘ Remember t he s t reng t h o f t he wo l f i s t he pack , and t he s t reng t h o f t he pack i s t he wo l f . ’ (Rudya rd Ki p l i ng ) This year we finally had a proper hockey season after the Covid-19 Pandemic. We are extremely grateful to our new Hockey Co-ordinator, Ms Wanri Venter, who, alongside Ms Adéle Bothma, put in a great deal of effort into arranging and planning the season. We participated in a few tournaments and played many more league and practice games than we did previously. Almost all our games were played at home, which built so much spirit amongst the teams. Even though we did not win all our matches, we still showed amazing results, especially against the top schools. Obviously having our own astro has definitely played a huge role in the improvement of hockey at La Rochelle! We are extremely proud of all our hockey players, as they have been so committed. They have contributed to

the positive hockey environment at the school. The following players are deserving of their national and provincial colours: • SA u/18A; Boland IPT u/18A: Shamira Titus • Boland IPT : Johré Blommetjies (u/18A); Caroline Noyce (u/18B); Kiera-lee Abrahams (u/16A); Cadey Becker (u/16B) • Boland Regionals: Chloé Farmer (u/18); Aimee Farmer (u/16) • Boland u/14 West Girls Regional Team: Makaziwe Gqiba, Mia Pieters, Leyla Wagner and Corin Joseph It was an absolute honour to captain the First Hockey Team of La Rochelle. We played with pride and courage. I look forward to seeing just how much hockey at La Rochelle will improve even further in future. Best of luck to all the hockey players who will take up the challenge next season. S h a m i r a T i t u s ( C a p t a i n )
