As the mornings become lighter, our Matrics write their Trial Examinations, the Grade Eleven excitement about camp grows, the Grade Nines work on their Pilot GEC integrated projects and the build-up to our Summer Festival takes centrestage. Read about our achievements of September here:

August began with endings as we faced the end of the winter sport season, and we saw a burst of cultural activities and successes. 

There is something special about the first few days back from the holiday. The school had stood fairly empty, and the hopes and dreams of the learners and staff who fill the corridors during the term are absent.  With a burst of laughter, hugs and hope for a new term; learners returned for Term Three with enthusiasm (and shivers because of the cold!) and the school comes alive again!

The essence of nostalgia is an awareness that what has been will never be again. - Milton S. Eisenhower

May was a time of nostalgia as the school celebrated the 150th birthday.  From our sports teams in Potchestroom for the All Girls' Festival to the wonder of our many Founders' Week activities; it was been a month that may well be hard to beat. 

What a month April was.  Our involvement in sports programmes and our wonderful week of Literary activities made for a busy, exciting and productive time!

There was inspiration and innovation at the Steam Week events that kicked off March, while our sports and clubs continued to excel.  

While the expression states to beware the Ides of March, there was much to celebrate as March began.  On the sporting and cultural front, there were notable matches and Cinderella rehearsals.  The Standard Bank STEAM week began with fanfare and the academic subjects aligned to STEAM took centre stage! 

As we entered March, we did so with great appreciation for a February of achievement, personal growth and celebrations of our 150th year. We enter March with great excitement about our Standard Bank STEAM Week and our Cinderella production.
