NovaNews has launched its <a href=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/school\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/school\/\">Schools Zone<\/a> on Youth Day, creating a national digital hub that promises to amplify every learner&#8217;s success story from the classroom to the rugby pitch and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a bold statement of intent timed perfectly for 16 June, Youth Day,when South Africa reflects on young people as agents of change. And it comes with serious firepower behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-eleven-years-of-legacy-supercharged\">Eleven years of legacy, supercharged<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the heart of this launch sits Schools That Rock, the pioneering platform founded by Christo du Randt in 2009 that has spent over a decade documenting school achievements across the nation. Now incorporated into NovaNews, that archive of thousands of articles and photos gets turbocharged distribution through NovaNews&#8217;s formidable network \u2013 389,000+ active users, over one million Facebook followers, and 21 community newspaper titles spanning the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Over the past eleven years, Schools That Rock has published thousands of articles and photos \u2014 a true digital archive of pride and achievement,&#8221; reflects du Randt. &#8220;Every story, every smile, and every victory has reinforced the vision: every child has a success story worth sharing with the world. I am proud to continue this legacy on the NovaNews platform.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That philosophy, that every child deserves their moment in the spotlight, drives everything the Schools Zone represents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-than-just-rugby\">More than just rugby<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst school rugby remains a cornerstone (amplified through The Rugby Factory vodcast hosted by Andy Daniel), the Schools Zone casts its net far wider. Netball stars, athletics champions, academic achievers, cultural performers, debating champions \u2013 if it happens at a South African school, it deserves recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that&#8217;s precisely the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The launch of the Schools Zone and School Sports Zone on Youth Day is deeply intentional,&#8221; explains Bettie Giliomee-Rossouw, NovaNews Head of Digital and Editorial Commissioning. &#8220;We believe that every school has a story worth telling, every learner has an achievement worth celebrating, and every community deserves to see their young people recognised on a national platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;By bringing Schools That Rock into our ecosystem, we are honouring eleven years of extraordinary work and taking it to an entirely new level. This is our contribution to Youth Day \u2014 giving every South African school a louder, stronger voice.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-your-school-your-story\">Your School, Your Story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s where schools, parents, coaches, and learners themselves come in. The Schools Zone thrives on community participation. Got a match report? A photo of your team&#8217;s championship victory? A video of that incredible try scored in injury time? NovaNews wants to share it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Send news, photos, achievements and videos to:<br>\ud83d\udce7\u00a0<strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dustin.wetdewich@novusmedia.co.za<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dustin Wetdewich, NovaNews National Digital Sports Editor, heads up the operation, ensuring school stories receive the national coverage they deserve.
