Grade 12 Awards Ceremony
Speech: Deputy Head Girl - Lihle Sgudla
“ Good evening Matric Class of 2022, parents, siblings and staff. Buckle your seatbelts as we recount the rollercoaster ride that was our five years
at Pretoria High School for Girls. Ready? Our ride was quite aptly named, ‘It wasn’t easy, but it was worth it’. These words almost perfectly sum
up this year. We had many sleepless nights, and as a result arrived at school the following day with designer bags under our eyes. The dinner
dates, birthday par es and family gatherings we missed because we had a science write up due on Monday, one of Mrs Ramlaul’s beloved class
tests the following Tuesday, an English speech due on Wednesday and an Accoun ng or Business SBA on Friday. All these sacrifices we made,
no social life, no sleep, was all worth it. Look where you are now. Your incredibly proud parents, siblings, family members and guardians, are
si ng behind you, posi vely beaming, smiling from ear to ear. I can confirm that Mom is almost in tears because of the amazing young woman
you have become, and Dad already has his phone out, taking the first of what will likely be no less than 100 photos tonight. You have made
them proud this year and receiving an award tonight is but the first fruits of your labour. You won the internal dialogue between the version of
yourself who said “You know what, who needs to pass matric anyway”, convinced you were the next self-made, drop out billionaire, and the
present you, who worked through her tear-stained mathema cs textbook to make sure you secured that dis nc on. So, you ought to be proud
of yourself too.
Do you remember wri ng le ers to your future self for the seedbank ceremony? Racking your brain and carefully thinking about what you
want to tell 18-year-old you. Wri ng down all the things you hoped you would accomplish and the person you would become. I know I don’t
speak for everyone, but li le Lihle had really high hopes and expecta ons for me. Sadly, for her, I didn’t meet or even a empt to reach all those
expecta ons. I mean the bar was set really high. But what I’ve come to learn over the last five years, and it was one of our many themes we’ve
had over these years, was to posi vely adapt to change. Every corridor you walked through, every pinboard you walked past, all our teachers’
computer screens, even in Assemblies, we were reminded over and over again, to posi vely adapt to change. The path 13-year-old Lihle set
out for me is not the path I was meant to take, and that is perfectly okay. As we grow, learn and understand more about ourselves, the things we
want and aspire towards are bound to change. But one thing I know for sure, is that our 13-year-old selves, would be incredibly proud of us.
Though we started off incredibly shakily, we found our feet, gained our balance and found a way to not only survive our stay at PHSG but make
the absolute most of it.
I hope we never forget trying so hard not to laugh in class, then making eye contact with that one
friend and burs ng into laughter. The songs we sang and danced to, even screamed and cried to. The
bus rides back from fixtures either hardly containing our smiles or trying so hard not to cry. I hope we
treasure these moments and think back on them fondly. I hope we never forget the teachers who
truly helped us along the way, we truly do appreciate all of you.
I cannot miss this opportunity to thank God. For keeping me and giving me the grace and strength, to
get through this year. To all our parents, our brothers and sisters, our friends and every single person
who was there for us and held our hand as we went through the ups and downs that was high school,
thank you thank you thank you. We truly would not have made it to the end of this bumpy ride
without you. But that’s just that. We made it through not just this year, but 5 years of Pretoria High
School for Girls. We are the 120th group of strong, highly capable, brilliant beyond belief, self-
confident, bright and drop dead gorgeous, beau ful minds that this school has released to go and
conquer this world. And I have no doubt, that we, as the future Presidents, Teachers, Neuroscien sts,
”
SA Hockey players, Housewives, Authors and Cer fied A orneys, will do exactly that. This world is
ours to conquer.

Team Soleil also did excep onally well. Although they are
the team with less me-served, all the hard work they have
been pu ng in will have them compe on proficient in no

We are also very proud of Mrs van Heerden who was
awarded the prize for Coach/Mentor of the year (see the

hearty celebra ons and sad farewells. 2022 has been a busy year
for our PHSG parents, especially a er 2 years of limited fund-
raising. This enthusias c group of moms and dads rallied
together and managed to raise a substan al amount of money
for the school this year. This money goes towards subsidising
sport and cultural ac vi es, bursaries and even building
projects.
The PA bid farewell to David and Theresa Innes, whose daughter
will be matricula ng this year, thereby relieving them of their PA

elected to serve on the SGB.
We hear ly thank all our parents for the joy they have spread and
the blessings they have been this past year!
HOCKEY
START SAVING NATIONS
THOSE BOTTLE TOPS CUP
This year PHSG collected 790kg of bo le tops, valued at
R1612.00! The bo le tops are then given to The
Sweethearts Founda on and recycled by local recycling
companies. The recycling companies pay The
Sweetheart's Founda on for these collec ons and the
money is used to purchase wheelchairs for those in
need.
Not only is collec ng bo le tops and dona ng a
wheelchair a charitable ini a ve, it also helps keep our
earth green. Once the bo le tops have been purchased
by the recycling company, they are usually melted down
and sold off to plas c manufacturers who then use the
plas c to create new plas c items like picture frames,
seedling trays and some mes outdoor furniture.
A standard wheelchair is funded through 1750 kg of
bo le tops or 350kg of bread tags and this is something
we can work towards as a school in 2023. Ms Gebhardt
will be taking over from Mrs van Heerden, who has (for Congratula ons to Old Girl, Marlise van Tonder (Matric
many years) been the one to oversee this project at 2015), who was selected to represent South Africa at the
PHSG. upcoming FIH Hockey Na ons Cup in Valencia, Spain from
11 to 17 December 2022. We wish her and the team the
very best of luck!

"When you arise in the morning, think what a privilege it is to be alive, to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love" – Marcus Aurelius
Just as we all tend to neglect these minor, yet, crucial parts of our daily lives, so do we we tend to forget what importance and value
each teacher at PHSG brings to the learners and subsequently our beloved school.
On behalf of Pretoria High School for Girls, the music centre would like to remind the teachers that we have not forgo en the
significance of your roles, we have not forgo en to take a moment and acknowledge your efforts and we have certainly not forgo en
what a privilege you truly are.
I'd like to thank Mrs. Hohls send the rest of the music teachers for making today possible and giving us musicians the opportunity to
perform. My name is Erin Prins and I am honored to be apart of today's event and more so to be a learner at Pretoria Highschool for
Girls. Please, enjoy.”

FRENCH DELF EXAM RESULTS
The French department is very happy to
announce that we have 24 learners who passed
the interna onally recognised DELF exam this
year.
DELF and DALF are six separate diplomas issued
by the French Ministry for Na onal Educa on
to cer fy the language skills of persons whose
first language is a language other than French.
The six independent diplomas, developed by
t h e C e n t re I n te r n a o n a l d ' Et u d e s
Pédagogiques (CIEP), correspond respec vely
to the six levels of the Council of Europe's
Commom European Framework of Reference
for Languages (CEFRL).
The results of these six exams are valid for life.
As of 2015, the DELF and DALF examina ons DELF level A1
are available in 173 countries. The exams
evaluate language skills in the following four
areas:
1. Oral Comprehension
2. Oral Expression
3. Wri en Comprehension
4. Wri en Expression
The diplomas received by comple ng the DELF
and DALF exams are recognised worldwide. As
a result, these diplomas add value to resumés
and are recognised by a growing number of
administra ve bodies, employers, and
educa onal ins tu ons as a measure of French
as a second language proficiency.
Earning the DELF level B2 provides exemp on
from the language test requirements necessary
for registra on at French universi es.
We applaud the following learners:
DELF level A1:
Hayley Stanton, Jenifer Acheampoaa Monama,
