Hoërskool Strand ((英語:Strand High School)) is an Afrikaans high school located in Strand, South Africa. 1 089〔 students attend the school, mostly residents of Strand, although students from as far as Gordon's Bay, Somerset West, and even Grabouw attend the school. The school is the major provider of secondary education in the area and is headmastered by Mr Christiaan Klopper, that took the lead from former headmistress Mrs Sanette Nowers (Now holding the title as Director at the Metro Central District, Western Cape Education Department). With the post-war growth of the Hottentots Holland district, in 1963 a second High School (Afrikaans medium) was opened, which mainly served the Strand. Hoërskool Strand has four quarters in a school year, stretching from January to December. The school provides classes from grade eight to grade twelve (the latter also known as matric). ==Sport== Hoërskool Strand competes in inter-schools activities with neighbouring schools Parel Vallei High School and Hottentots Holland High School. They competed against these two schools on 10 February 2012 and will do so again next year. They also compete against tour groups, such as the Bablake School from England, which last toured Strand in mid-2010. The sports in which it competes include rugby, cricket, hockey, netball, squash, tennis and chess. Sports activities which the school provides but which is not limited to inter-school competition includes swimming and surfing. The school also has a strong academical focus, but it is considered by most to be concentrating on excelling in the sports-world. A school rule requiring students to take part in at least one winter- and one summer activity, introduced at the beginning of 2006, is evidence of the school's goal to become a sport power within the school circles in the area. They succeeded in winning the winter-interschools again in 2006 by beating Hottentots Holland in the main rugby match of the day. On 14 October 2006, the school sent a year 11 student, Corné Blaauw, to compete in the World Junior Chess Championship which was held in Georgia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hoërskool Strand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
