Hoërskool Wesvalia Archers Head to National Championships in Jeffreys Bay
A group of Hoërskool Wesvalia archers will represent the Klerksdorp school at the National Archery Championships in Jeffreys Bay during the September holidays, the school announced on 23 September 2026, according to a post by the school's Facebook page.

School holidays are anything but quiet for Hoërskool Wesvalia's sportspeople. Alongside its archers bound for the national championships, the school has also sent a rugby player on an international tour and seen three golfers selected for a provincial team.

Wessie archers take aim at nationals

The school wished all of its archers good luck as they travel to Jeffreys Bay for the National Archery Championships. In a photo shared with the announcement, the team posed in school colours with matching archery backpacks before setting off.

The school said the archers' hard work and perseverance had brought them to this moment, and encouraged them to enjoy the experience, make memories and show what "#wessiegreatness" looks like.

Johanco Nel tours Namibia

On 26 September the school congratulated Johanco Nel, who has been selected for the AVS under-16 President's team for its rugby tour to Namibia. Johanco flew out that day, getting the chance to show his rugby talent on an international stage.

Three golfers in the North West team

Earlier in the week, Wesvalia also announced that three of its learners have been selected for the North West High Schools golf team. The school praised their passion, dedication on the course and constant drive to improve, and urged them to represent Wesvalia and North West with pride.
