As Union High School, Graaff-Reinet, prepares for this yearโs Interschools, the spotlight falls on the 1st XV rugby team and their captain, Yaaseen Kazi, whose words have resonated far beyond the field.
In a recent interview, Kazi reflected on the teamโs guiding principle: โThe most important goal weโve set for ourselves is not only to be good rugby players and a good team, but to be honourable young men who embody the values of being a Unionite.โ
This sentiment captures the essence of Union Highโs rugby ethos โ a commitment to character, respect, and integrity that transcends the scoreboard.
Regardless of Saturdayโs result, the school community takes immense pride in the way these young men have represented Union High, their teammates, and their families throughout the season. Their dedication reminds us that wearing the green and white is about far more than rugby; it is about living the values that define Union.
Union High School celebrates its 1st XV not only for their sporting achievements, but for the example they set as honourable ambassadors of the school.
