One of the highlights of the year was the official opening of the newly resurfaced AstroTurf during the schoolโ€™s annual Foundersโ€™ Weekend celebrations. The highly anticipated event brought together hockey players, parents, staff, friends of the school and Old Unionites to celebrate the milestone.

In line with its commitment to safety, the school installed closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras in all junior school classrooms and the quad area. This crucial initiative aims to create a protective environment for learners, staff and visitors.

In addition to the transformation undergone by the old bookroom into a stunning state-of-the-art teaching space, the hardworking groundsmen undertook significant renovations during the fourth term to the Life Sciences classroom and the Lecture Room.

His message resonated with the younger scouts, reminding them that even as members transition out of the troop, their influence and inspiration continue to shape the next generation.

Mrs Vorster joined Union High School in 1999 and since that day, she has embraced every opportunity to engage with the school community. Her passion for education and commitment to her learners have been evident in her multifaceted involvement – coaching tennis, golf and hockey, as well as supporting numerous musicals and Interact fundraisers. Her dedication to the arts and sports has enriched the lives of countless learners, fostering a spirit of teamwork and creativity.

As a teacher, Mrs Vorster brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to her learners.
