At Union High School, Graaff-Reinet, we treasure our traditions, which create cherished memories and reinforce the values we hold dear.
One such beloved annual tradition took place this afternoon, Wednesday, 10 July, when the Grade 7 class teachers, Mrs Hanli Rose-Innes and Miss Justine Matthews, hosted a delightful tea for the young Grade 7 ladies at the charming Coldstream Restaurant.
The setting was perfect for an afternoon of tea and treats, where the conversation was both lively and enlightening. Special mention must be made of the Grade 7 girls who assisted with the arrangements – well done to Micha Murray, Chantรฉ Bezuidenhout, Rachel Wenham, Abonani Matushe, Liso Mamase, Asanele Mayekiso
Halyn Wessels, Erinn Anderson and Kate Charles.

We also extend our deepest thanks to Mrs Rose-Innes and Miss Matthews – their dedication to creating meaningful experiences for their learners is evident in the thoughtful planning and execution of this lovely afternoon. Through events like these, they not only teach important social skills but also foster a sense of community and belonging among the girls.
Additionally, we are immensely grateful to our guest speaker, Mrs Elaine Stanley, whose valuable speech on realizing oneโs self-worth and loving oneself left a lasting impact on everyone present. ๐๐๐ง ๐๐ฃ๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ง๐๐จ ๐๐ฃ๐๐ค๐ช๐ง๐๐๐๐ ๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช๐ฃ๐ ๐ก๐๐๐๐๐จ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ง๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ง ๐ช๐ฃ๐๐ฆ๐ช๐ ๐ฆ๐ช๐๐ก๐๐ฉ๐๐๐จ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ข๐๐ง๐๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ก๐-๐ก๐ค๐ซ๐, ๐ ๐ข๐๐จ๐จ๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐ง๐๐จ๐ค๐ฃ๐๐ฉ๐๐จ ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ก๐ฎ ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ง๐ ๐ซ๐๐ก๐ช๐๐จ ๐ค๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐ค๐ฃ.
