NAPSO back after 2 years
The Namibia Private Schools organisation hosted their annual winter sport event this past week.
After two years of not taking place due to Covid-19, the NAPSO Securitas Private School Sport Week returned to its roots this year as Tsumeb Gymnasium hosted the 18th instalment of this event. A very successful event it was indeed, as it brought everyone together.
The weekend was packed with various sports and cultural activities. The event is intended to serve as a platform for learners, parents and coaches to come together and revel in one another's company instead of a competitive event - hence a series of friendly matches in rugby, netball, hockey, tennis, jukskei and chess as well as archery are held.
Twelve schools from across Namibia travelled to the copper town to participate in the weekend’s various events.
This year’s event was definitely one for the books, as Namibia Media Holdings (NMH) livestreamed the whole event on all social media platforms and on DSTV channel 285 and GOTV channel 94. Awarding prize money to those who had “Super Moments” during the course of the day.
NAPSO also held trials for the respective hockey, rugby and netball teams. For the first time NAPSO teams will be sent on tour in South Africa, to take on the best teams as preparations for leagues and to see where the teams can improve. Coach of the Pro-Ed academy hockey team said, “we arranged competitive friendlies, against schools like Monument, for us to measure ourselves against the best in South Africa, to see if we can compete in big tournaments.”
Xavier Mouton from Walvis Bay Private High School (WBPHS), who was excited as he was elected as part of the team travelling, said: “I look forward to taking part in the tournament, I think it is going to be a big learning experience for all of us and I believe we are ready.”
With WBPHS hosting next year’s NAPSO Securitas Private School Sport Week, things can only get better.
Henry Kemp, the sports director for WBPHS, said the upgrading of their facilities would start as soon as they returned from Tsumeb.
"We are starting the preparation of our rugby fields on Monday. We are also building four new netball courts in preparation of next year's event," he said.

The CEO of the Namibia Private Schools Organisation (NAPSO) and also the man who currently holds the reigns at the hosting school Tsumeb Gymnasium, Wouter Niehaus, says he is honoured that the resumption of the NAPSO Securitas Private School Week could take place at his school.
Tsumeb Gymnasium waited 3 years to host this event due to consecutive cancellation as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
"We are back together as friends, it is so wonderful to have hosted this event again," said Niehaus.
