中国体育彩票 Pieke
On a cultural level, Pieke Manssêr, our acapella group, is very well known on campus and has represented Stellenbosch 中国体育彩票 twice at the National Kleinsêr Competition. Pieke is currently the only CSC that has won SU Acapella as well as Maties Mollasêr in the male section. SU Acapella, and in particular Pieke Manssêr, is one of the cultural highlights for any Piekeman. In addition to sêr, Pieke has been a strong competitor in the annual Toneelfees, having won this event several times in previous years. Pieke is also known for being a community that carries out Campus Serenades in a positive, respectful and “vibey" manner.
When it comes to sports, Pieke has been incredibly successful in a wide range of sporting activities. Our squash team has won the A league, against some of the strongest residences on campus, several times. Additionally, we are the only CSC to have ever won the inter-residence swimming gala. Pieke is a strong competitor on the soccer and hockey fields. Additionally, our community forms part of the CSC Barbarians rugby team, a team consisting of players from different male and co-ed CSCs. The CSC Barbarians is a force to be reckoned with in the Maties Residence Rugby League. We also participate in activities such as chess. In recent years Pieke has also performed in table tennis and has won the second league title. When it comes to sport, Pieke has delivered several successful Maties sport members.
We value academics, and in order to assist newcomers with adapting to university academics, we have a mentorship program in place. The newcomers are assigned to a senior Pieke member, which acts as a mentor, to assist and guide the student with any queries. Our mentors have the necessary skills to provide newcomers with any assistance they may require. Additionally, we encourage all Pieke members to strive for Excellence in their academics whilst providing resources and study tips throughout every year.
As Pieke, we have a lot of spirit, despite the fact that we don't live together in a residence. We maintain this spirit by organising numerous events throughout the year, which range from a formal House Dance to a hike known as the Pieke Sumit. Our community aims to create a home away from home, providing safety and security for everyone in it.
Pieke's vision and mission
We are known for our spirit and pride. Being a home away from home, Pieke is an established CSC that gives each individual a place to flourish. Pieke aims to provide for the needs of every community member, whether it is in sport, academics, or culture.
It is, therefore, the mission of Pieke to maintain the unity within the House by treating each member as equal and providing a platform where it is possible to achieve their full potential and strive towards the Pieke values.
