My wens vir jou is om alles as ‘n geleentheid aan te pak om elke dag die beste te wees wat jy moontlik kan wees.

Die vraag is nie HOE ons dit reg kry nie, die vraag is HOEKOM! Want die koshuis word geseën deur God alleen, al verstaan ons nie altyd hoekom nie, weet ons dit is waar ons krag vandaan kom. Ons is Die Huis op Kampus vir ‘n rede, en as eerstejaar gaan jy ‘n baie groter rol speel as wat jy dink om ons na hoër hoogtes te neem. Ons waardes as koshuis is die hartklop van wie ons is, en wat die waardes is, is nie nou belangrik nie want dit sal jy gou genoeg leer, wat wel belangrik is dat jy moet weet ons is gevestig deur integriteit, dit saam met ons waardes is die fondasie waarmee ons alles aanpak.

Laaste maar nie die minste nie, gaan julle onder leiding van 9 ongelooflike manne wat julle na hoër hoogtes toe wil vat, wat julle wil vorm. Die belangrikste wat jy moet weet is dat jy van alles kan vergeet wat ek nou vir jou vertel het, maar weet dat Patria Manskoshuis alle eer aan God gee. Wen of verloor, ons sal Hom prys.

Patria Manskoshuis is ‘n huis sonder mure, geanker in GOD! Mag dit jou dryfkrag wees om deel te word van ‘n familie van 258 broers.

Prospective Patriaan

“Every challenge is perfect.” This is how I as Primarius of Patria Men’s Residence would like to approach each day when your new life gets going in 2016. My wish for you is to use each day as an opportunity to seize the day and be the best person you possibly can, every day.

The question that you need to ask is not how, but rather why! This residence is blessed by God alone, and although we do not always understand why that is, but still, we know where our strength comes from. We are The House on Campus for a reason, and your role as first year in taking this residence to new heights, is much bigger than your realize. Our values are the heartbeat of who we are, and what those values are, are not of great importance now as you will learn in due time what they are. What rather is important, is to know that everything we do, we do with integrity, and this together with our values, forms the foundation of everything we do.

Lastly but not least, you will be under the guidance and mentorship of 9 amazing men, 9 men of God and who truly will not rest until they have made a man out of you, or at least try till they can’t any further. The most important thing to remember, if you forget everything else is, that at Patria Men’s Residence, we give honour to our God the Father of Heaven and earth, win or lose, we will praise HIM, always.

We are a home without walls, anchored in God alone. May this be the energy and driving force you need to be and become part of the family, brotherhood of 258 men.
