𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗶 𝗣𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗼𝗺𝗮 & 𝗧𝗿𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗛𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻

Grade 12 learner 𝗧𝗿𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗛𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻 has been elected as president, while matric learner 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗶 𝗣𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗼𝗺𝗮 assumes the role of vice-president.

● 𝗧𝗿𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗛𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻 joined the Union Schools in Grade 8 after moving to Graaff-Reinet and since then, he has made remarkable contributions to our school. A talented athlete, Trystan plays for the 1st team in both cricket and rugby. His leadership skills are evident as he serves on the Media Team and takes on the responsibility of Deputy Head Boy at the school.

Trystan’s involvement extends beyond sports; he is a Blood Peer Promoter, highlighting his commitment to community service. Academically, he excels as a Top 10 student and has achieved Full Colours for Culture and Academics. His multifaceted talents and leadership qualities make him an exceptional choice for the role of RCL President.

● Hailing from King William’s Town, 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗶 𝗣𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗼𝗺𝗮 joined Union as a boarder in Grade 10 in 2023. Since her arrival, she has proven to be an invaluable asset to our school community. Milani currently serves as a school prefect and Head Girl at the hostel, where her leadership and mentoring skills shine.

In addition to her various roles, Milani is a Top Level Club member, a First Aider and a Mentor to our younger Unionites. She also holds the position of vice-chairman of the InterAct Club, where she actively engages in community service initiatives. Milani’s dedication and passion for making a difference align perfectly with her new role as vice-president of the RCL.
