Uit die hoof se kantoor
As ek ‘n terugblik gee op die jaar wat verby is, is ek voorwaar baie trots op die onderwysers en leerlinge van Hoërskool Ficksburg wat op baie terreine uitgeblink het.
It is possible for learners of Ficksburg High School to have the same access of knowledge at this school as the learner in the most affluent schools. Imagine the revolutionary democratizing potential this can bring.
Imagine the enormous benefits to our economy, our society, all learners of Ficksburg High School can master in the 21st century and the fourth industrial revolution. We are increasingly facing a serious skills shortage in our country. It is a rare privilege to be active in fighting this skill drain. At Ficksburg High we aim for excellence, not only academic excellence but also instilling true, employable skills in our learners. Our technical department is crucial to this.
Baie dankie aan al die leerlinge wat deelneem aan buitemuurse aktiwiteite. Baie geluk aan almal wat in 2018 op verskillende terreine goed gedoen en uitgestyg het.
Ten einde deelname aan buitemuurse aktiwiteite te bevorder, werk ons deurgaans aan die verbetering van ons sportgeriewe en terrein. Die netbal- en tennisbane is onlangs verbeter. Hierdie jaar het ons fokus na die krieketnette en oefenbane verskuif. Ons is as skool baie trots op ons terrein en werk deurlopend daaraan om dit te ontwikkel en in stand te hou.
To the class of 2018, a big congratulations to each of you. You made it to the finish line. But you also made it to the starting line of your next race. We say good-bye and good luck. To the rest of us, just keep trying!
Never give up! Because the only person that can stop you, is you!
Dankie aan ons Vader, vir U genade en seën.

Bemarkingskomitee
Ficksburg High School is a beautiful, versatile and talented school that performs very well annually and creates great opportunities for its learners.
In 2018 the school decided to establish a marketing committee that would focus on creating awareness about the excellence of our school.
Ficksburg High School’s marketing committee consists of a group of young, passionate, and energetic teachers who achieved great things in a short time.
The school hosted two very successful open days for grade 7 learners and parents and even broadened our horizons by informing learners in Bloemfontein about our exceptional technical facilities. The marketing committee was also responsible for the school’s first professional marketing video and YouTube channel.
Social media was also updated and is still very active. We have great plans for the future and we trust that with commitment, passion and hard work we will inform and convince our community and the whole Free State of how great our school is and that we do not need to stand back for any school.
