DESPATCH skoliere se beslommernis met treinry na Uitenhage, het 70 jaar gelede die oorwegende rol gespeel tot die stigting van Ho\u00ebrskool Despatch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colin Bartle, skoolhoof van Ho\u00ebrskool Despatch s\u00ea, \u201cdie ontstaan van die skool is te danke aan die meer as 400 leerlinge wat destyds hulle laerskoolloopbane op die dorp voltooi het en toe per trein na Uitenhage moes pendel om na \u2019n ho\u00ebrskool te gaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar was toe nog geen ho\u00ebrskool op Despatch nie. Hierdie toedrag van sake was onaanvaarbaar en in 1944 is die departement van onderwys versoek om \u2018n sekond\u00eare skool op die dorp te vestig.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Vergadering is in die kerksaal van NG Kerk Bothasrus gehou en die pleidooi was suksesvol waarna Despatch Sekond\u00eare Skool in 1949 op Despatch geopen is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 skool het begin met \u2019n mnr. Van Graan as skoolhoof, 5 onderwysers en 134 leerders. Daar was 68 standerd 6\u2019e (graad 8); 144 in standerd 7 (graad 9) en 22 leerders in standerd 8 (graad 10).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Bartle het di\u00e9 eerste ho\u00ebrskool bestaan uit 4 klaskamers. Daar was \u2019n huishoudkundeklas, \u2019n houtwerkklas, laboratorium en \u2018n personeelkamer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bekende sportsterre<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verskeie sportsoorte is aangebied: rugby, netbal, tennis, jukskei, krieket, hokkie, stoei, boks en swem is later bygevoeg. Die skool het ook sy eie bofbalspan en orkes gehad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is ook di\u00e9 skool waar die legendariese Springbok-rugbyspeler Danie Gerber alias \u201cDoring van Despatch\u201d gematrikuleer het. Die huidige Springbok-rugbyafrigter Rassie Erasmus sowel as die Blou Bulle se afrigter Pote Human, het hulle skoolloopbane by Ho\u00ebrskool Despatch voltooi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die benoeming \u201csekond\u00eare\u201d skool is in 1950 verander na ho\u00ebrskool en die getalle het geleidelik toegeneem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die skoollied, wapen en leuse is terselfdertyd ook ingestel. In 1951 is die eerste senior sertifikaat eksamen geskryf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOngetwyfeld is die geskiedenis van ons wapen gegrond in Afrikanertradisie, \u2019n feit wat ons baie trots maak en ons aanspoor om voort te bou op ons verlede. Met geloof, liefde, waarheid en arbeidsaamheid sal ons inderdaad die Vlam Hoog Blaas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOp vele gebiede styg die skool uit en doen gestand aan diegene wat geveg het om \u2018n skool vir ons dorp te vestig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOp akademiese-, sport-, kultuur- en geestelike gebied kyk ons terug met trots op vele indrukwekkende prestasies en kan getuig van oudskoliere wat op vele gebiede hul merk in die samelewing gemaak het,\u2019 s\u00ea Bartle wie sedert 2006 as skoolhoof by Ho\u00ebrskool Despatch aangestel is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
