Who or what is the Struisiebond?
The supporters union of Oudtshoorn High School
 
Who qualifies for membership?
old scholars, former teachers and current teachers, former and current parents, as well as any supporters who might feel at home in the Struisie supporters family owing to spontaneous loyalty and a special connection.
Very important: we regard scholars of the former Boys High and Girls High (from the era before 1963) as full-blooded old scholars.
 
Why a Struisiebond (Objectives)
It is important in a school like Oudtshoorn High with rich, proud traditions to maintain a healthy and dynamic two-way channel of communication between itself and each of its supporters, however far removed they may be. It is equally the responsibility of a school of such structure to serve as an interactive instrument of communication amongst its supporters.
 
What advantages are offered by the Struisiebond to its members?
  • One newsletter per semester (Be informed of everything about current and former Struisies).
  • One Yearbook annually (on request)
  • Annual reunions are organised for certain former matric classes (at the school)
  • Old scholars are honoured on the grounds of performance.
  • Special services to members, e.g. accomodation arrangements during the KKNK
  • Struisiebond blaser?
