Interview with Kyla Dames, the first team netball captain:

 Interview with Kyla Dames, the first team netball captain: 

by Karla Joubert

Some describe her as the best player they have seen in a long time. Others say she plays effortlessly and it is as if she simply plucks the ball out of the air. Where others rush she simply moves with time distributing the ball to all her teammates. She is of course Kyla Dames. 

We asked Kyla some questions that we are sure our readers are burning to know, as well as offering some of her advice and expectations for what lies ahead regarding the upcoming interschools game. 



Karla: What role do you play as captain?

Kyla: I don't feel as if I play a specific role. I rather offer support to my team and try to bring out the best in them. 

Karla: What makes netball such a special sport to you ?

Kyla: Netball is very special. The sport itself is really amazing and a good netball game is definitely one of the best games to watch. Netbal allowed me to meet so many people and form some of my closest friendships. 

Karla: What can people learn from this sport?

Kyla: Definitely teamwork. Netbal teaches you to work as a unit. 

Karla : What is your goal for the first team in this upcoming game ? 

Kyla: I think our biggest goal is to play the best netball possible .

Karla : What advice can you give to aspiring sports women?

Kyla: My best advice is to just never give up. Keep working hard because you will reach your goals. 

Karla: What are you most excited about regarding interschools?

Kyla: Definitely the interschools adrenaline. I am excited to play in front of everyone and to represent my school. 

Karla: How do spectators influence the game ?

Kyla: You are only influenced by the spectators if you allow it. The spectators definitely play a role, but they don't have to influence how you play. In my case, I block everything out.

Karla: Have you got any idea what Girls’ High is up against this year?

Kyla: We have played a couple games against Gim this year, they are a strong team.

Karla: How do you think the score is going to look ?

Kyla: I think its going to be a very close game. The score will probably differ by 2-3 points.

Karla: And finally, who do you believe will walk away winners?

Kyla: Girls High of course!

Yes, Kayla the entire Girls’ High is also rooting for that outcome to the game on Friday.

Skaak - die spel wat nie diskrimineer nie

  Skaak - die spel wat nie diskrimineer nie Deur Luca Yelverton Interskole is ‘n baie opwindende tydperk vir al die leerders in HMS. Dit is ‘n fees waarna almal heeljaar uitsien en dit is ‘n tyd propvol pret en plesier. Die doel is natuurlik om te wen, maar meer as dit is die doel om dit te geniet. Hierdie stelling klink seker soos elke praatjie wat ons nog voor elke wedstryd moes hoor, maar dis waar. Interskole is ‘n belewenis en ons moet dit waardeer en geniet. Ons is bevoorreg om elke jaar hierdie spesiale gebeurtenis saam met ons broers in blou te kan aanpak. Tydens Interskole word daar baie verskillende sporte gespeel. Een van hierdie sporte is natuurlik skaak. Ja, skaak is ‘n sport. Al die HMS-skaakspelers het hard gewerk en is reg vir Interskole. PK Subban het gesê: “Die lewe is soos ‘n skaakwedstryd. Elke besluit wat jy neem, het ‘n gevolg.” Subban se vergelyking pas perfek. Ek het persoonlik Dinsdag my eesrte interskole skaakwedstryd gespeel en dit was regtig ‘n spesial...

Dik Vibe

  Dik vibe  by Isabella Groenewald During Big Brag, a new teacher at our school, Ms Fouché, was put on the spot and asked to describe Interschools. Her answer summed up Interschools in two words and left the crowd cheering: Dik vibe. The first layer of the Interschools vibe takes place amongst school learners. You paint people’s faces you’ve barely held a conversation with. You borrow hair ties and ribbons from random people so one of the unofficial, underpaid Girls’ High stylists can braid your hair. You cheer unfamiliar names next to the sports field, regardless of if you know them or not, because they are part of your school. The dik Interschools vibe creates a form of nationalist pride in your school and reinforces the existing sisterhood we have in Girls’ High.  The second layer of Interschools vibe is the town of Paarl. During Interschools week, you have to colour coordinate your outfits to the school you support. You decorate your house in the school's colours, and...

‘n Buitengewone Spanbou: Hande vat met Samaritan's Feet

‘n Buitengewone Spanbou: Hande vat met Samaritan's Feet Deur Annemay Schade Interskole is daardie tyd van die jaar waar elke leerder se fokus op skooltrots gerig is en hul visie na die buitewêreld begrens is. Al wat jy lééf is jou skool, geesvang en die in dril van spelpatrone. Dit kom nooit eers in jou gedagtes dat jy jouself in lugbel bevind wat só ver verwyder is van ander se realiteit nie.  Die tweede hokkiespan van HMS het egter, en ek dink dit is ‘n eerste, ons spanbousessie gebruik om uit te reik na ander. Ons het hande gevat met Samaritan’s Feet.  Ons het eerder as klets en pizza eet, ons brose menslikheid ontdek deur, deur ons interskole wedstryd en liefde vir die sport, liefde aan ander te bewys. Ons is na die Ikamva Foundation in Mbekweni waar ons as deel van die Samaritan’s Feet Projek en Goals fo Life ‘n klein verskilletjie probeer maak het in die lewens van kinders wat in hierdie wintermaande nie die voorreg het om warm sokkies en skoene aan hul voete te dra nie....
