Mon weekend
Le weekend dernier je suis sortie avec mes amies. Nous avons
regardé la danse à Boys High. C’était formidable ! Samedi, j’ai fait
mes devoirs et j’ai étudié pour mes tests. Dimanche, nous sommes
allées à l’église, ensuite nous avons mangé chez ma grand-mère.

should be learners and be afforded the opportunity to learn.
162 The Iris
What has always set Pretoria High School for Girls apart in the educational
PHSG 1902–2016 landscape is its long and distinguished history and tradition coupled with the
remarkable stability of its leadership. The school motto, Prosit Spes Labori (We
Work in Hope), represents so much more than what many speciously tried to
reduce it to after Spring Fair.

We as an Alumni are confident that the school, its management team and the
School Governing Body will address the issues raised, whilst continuing to maintain
high standards of excellence, without compromising the standards of the school.

As Pretoria High School for Girls approaches its 115th birthday, the school has
grown from 106 to just under 1500 learners. Young ladies from all corners of the
earth study at this school and the student body is truly representative of the cultural
and racial diversity of our country.

Moving on to a more positive subject, some exciting events took place in 2016.
The Spring Fair is by far the biggest fundraiser of the year. This day is always packed
with great fun and entertainment for the whole family. This year’s Spring Fair
certainly did not disappoint. There were many food stalls, showcasing delicious
foods from all over the globe. Battle of the Chefs, a cooking competition between
staff members and invited guests, was again very successful.

The Old Girls’ stall has achieved massive success over the past few years and
boasts annually as the biggest source of income for the OGA. This year the stall did
particularly well and by 11am we had sold out all of our Girls’ High and Boys’ High
teddy bears.

Another big and anticipated event that occurred once more this year was the
Old Girls’ reunion weekend. This year the reunion weekend took place from 14
to 16 October. As always, the weekend started with a cocktail evening on the Friday
night. This event, which is attended by Old Girls of any age, saw over one hundred
and fifty ladies in attendance.

Saturday morning started with the annual AGM. This was followed by the
various sporting and cultural events, such as Hockey, Squash, Basketball, Water
Polo, Netball and Debating, wherein the Old Girls and current school student
competed against each other for the annual Old Girls’ weekend trophy. This year
the Old Girls proudly claimed victory over the coveted trophy.

Just after noon, all the Old Girls and esteemed guests were invited into the
School Hall for the annual luncheon.

This reunion weekend was particularly special to me as I celebrated my
20-year reunion with the matriculants of 1996. We had an absolute blast reminiscing
the days gone by.

We look forward to an even bigger reunion weekend next year and welcome any
Old Girls to make contact with us regarding the luncheon, which will be held in
October 2017.

I would like to express my thanks to the members of the Old Girls Committee
as well as the various branch members who give up hours of their time to assist the
Old Girls’ Association (OGA). I am truly grateful to all of you.

I would lastly like to thank the School, Teachers, Governing Body, Parents
Association and Mrs Karen Du Toit for their continued support and help. We are
very thankful for all that they do and look forward to 2017.

During 2016 I was invited to relief teach at the school for the third time. Having
attended school here from 1962 until 1966, I never imagined that I would ever return
as a teacher one day. What made the stint in 2016 even more special, was that it was my
50th year matric reunion! It really felt like I had come full circle attending as an old girl
and a staff member. What a highlight and how lovely to reminisce with old classmates!
We remembered sitting on the floor in the hall, making sure our panama hats were
spotlessly clean and walking to class in single file. All this felt like yesterday.

Thank you to the Old Girls’ Association for a wonderful, memorable afternoon
and to my Alma Mater - go well, Girls' High!
