Pro-Ed top performing school

Rudi Bowe

Pro-Ed Academy in Swakopmund is the National Archery in the Schools Program in Namibia (NASP) top performing school.
Pro-Ed is also the Junior National champion with Alyssa van Zijl the top performing girl and the National Champion and Danette Pretoruis from Walvis Bay Private High School is the most improved archer.
Going from strength to strength the 6th NASP Namibia Nationals were held with 136 archers from all over Namibia with the top 8 senior and top 8 junior archers from each participating school on 11 September at Windhoek High School’s Sport Field ‘Vegkop”.
The archers that were selected in the National, Development and Alumni teams will compete against South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe in the first Virtual NASP® Africa Tournament that will be held on 11 and 12 December in Windhoek.
The first Alumni that were included in the NASP® Nationals was also held, and it was lovely to see our archers develop over the years and now come back and continue as adults.
The NAPS Nam Committee thank all the parents for their loyal support in driving their children to the shoots, the archers for practicing even under difficult conditions and a special big thank you goes to WHS for the use of the field and hall for hos-ting the event efficiently and centrally. The gratitude goes to the workers from Afro Pumps who are now well-equipped to build and take down the ranges in record time.
