Gesinne, families en vriende word verdeel en kies kant. Sportwedstryde oor bykans alle dissiplines word gespeel. Selfs bome in die strate word versier \u2013 blou en wit vir Boishaai en Girls\u2019 High; maroen, groen en goud vir Gimmies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die interskoleweek tussen Paarl Gimnasium en Boishaai en Girls\u2019 High, oftewel die Ho\u00ebr Jongenskool Paarl en die Ho\u00ebr Meisieskool Paarl, is immers die grootste van sy soort in die w\u00eareld. Maar dit is veral die kragmeting tussen die seuns van die eersterugbyspanne wat die gemoedere koorsig hoog laat loop \u2013 \u2019n klimaks n\u00e1 jare se opofferinge en harde werk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
