Emotional return for Daniel Pienaar
It will be a sad first week back at school for students and staff at Daniel Pienaar in Uitenhage.

Easter Festival Fixtures & Results 2016 – Day 3, Day 2 & Day 1
St Stithians have come out on top in 2016 in terms of most competitive festival as far as the scores are concerned. Saint’s score difference of 13 edged out KES with 14 while Kearsney suffered from an unusually one-sided final day finishing with 18. As expected St John’s put together two very competitive match-days after their traditionally one-sided opening day.
