Union High School, Graaff-Reinetโ€™s 2023 primary department production, saw the 2010 box office hit, Tangled, translated to the stage for the purposes of delighting local theatre lovers!

The narrative was, for the most part, identical. Snatched from her royal bed at birth, Rapunzel goes about her days locked in a forgotten tower under the ever-watchful eye of the evil Mother Gothel. Seizing her chance to escape with the bandit Flynn Rider, Rapunzel embarks on an adventure to see the lanterns that fill the sky on her birthday each year and discover her past in the process.

Welcome, Mr Marriott

Union High School, Graaff-Reinet recently had the distinct pleasure of hosting Mr Clive Marriott, Headmaster of Salisbury Cathedral School, during his recent visit to South Africa.

Union has long enjoyed a wonderful learner exchange programme with this 900-year-old school in Salisbury, Wiltshire, UK, with its incomparable setting beneath the famous spire of Salisbury Cathedral.

For 30 years, the Salisbury learners have been coming to Graaff-Reinet as exchange students for a term, followed by Unionโ€™s exchange students spending a term in the UK. Quite a few of these Union learners then go on to do a Gap Year at Salisbury after completing their matric year.

The recent event hosted by the school was attended by some of the exchange students from 2013 to date, as well as their parents. After Mr Pringle welcomed all the guests, Mr Marriott addressed all those present, amusing the audience with a few tales of events that have happened over the years.

The 2023 exchange learners were also presented with their Exchange Student badges during this event, which they will wear for the duration of their years at Union.
