| Struisie
Day/Kwagga Day - Glance through history |
| |
| For
the first two years, after the amalgamation of the Farmer Boys' -
and Girls' High Schools in Oudtshoorn in 1963, only normal league
matches between Oudtshooorn High School and Outeniqua High School
took place. |
| |
| The
interschool showdown, Struisie Day/Kwagga Day, as we know it today,
came into existence in 1965. It is therefore the 43st year in which
this exchanged between Oudtshoorn(Struisies) and George(Outeniqua),
making it the oldest interschool event in the SWD. |
| |
| Struisie
Day/Kwagga Day took on a new dimension in 2005 when it became part
of the prestigous FNB CLASSIC CLASHES series. Last year it was hosted
in George and in 2008 it is Oudsthoorn High School's turn. |
| |
| Many
past Springboks have put their bodies on the line for their Alma Mater
during Struisie Day/Kwagga Day. Names like André Bestbier and
Barry Wolmarans (Struisies); Johan Heunis and Marko Wentzel (Kwaggas)
come to mind. |
| |
| This
exceptional interschool sporting event is characterised by excellent
sportmanship and enthusiasm. The train journey which has been undertaken
on a few occasions has only added to the great enthusiasm experienced
by learners, parents, staff and past scholars. This is also emphasised
by the interest shown in the annual 'Old-Boys' match between the Struisies
and the Kwaggas. |
| |
| Win
or lose, at the end of the day everyone is happy to have been able
to share in the great battle between these two prestigious and traditional
school. |
