As we prepare to step into 2025, Union High School is pleased to report the transformation of yet another one of our teaching spaces.

With a vision for progress and innovation, the classroom features the standard for all our revamps – a state-of-the-art digital interactive whiteboard, LED lighting and thoughtfully curated furniture.

In a world that often feels hurried and impersonal, this gesture from the Graaff-Reinet Dutch Reformed Church stands out as an example of the community spirit and kindness that makes our town such a wonderful place to live

To the congregation of the Graaff-Reinet Dutch Reformed Church, your thoughtful initiative has made a significant impact. The NSC examinations can be a source of stress and anxiety for many young learners – 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘶𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘴 𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘯𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺.

We are thrilled to share the wonderful news that we have recently had the privilege of revamping the 𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗘 𝗦𝗖𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗦 lab at Union High School, Graaff-Reinet.

This project has not only transformed the space but also reinvigorated the learning environment for learners who will walk through its doors each day.

The journey began with the complete gutting of the age-old classroom. We carefully sanded and varnished the floors, breathing new life into the room’s foundation. The outdated box blinds were replaced with modern window coverings, flooding the lab with natural light.

New front-of-classroom cupboards were installed, which function as a traditional whiteboard, while housing the digital interactive whiteboard – an essential tool for dynamic teaching and interactive learning.

To enhance the overall ambiance, the walls and ceiling received a fresh coat of paint, while a stunning mural now graces one wall, adding a splash of colour and creativity that breathes life into the lab.

This past Friday and Saturday, a group of 12 enthusiastic Grade 7 learners from Union High School had the incredible opportunity to participate in a Social Sciences 𝗮𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 to the stunning KAROO RIDGE – Conservancy, located just 50 kilometers northeast of Middelburg.

The journey began early on Friday, 18 October, as the learners departed the Union grounds filled with excitement for the days ahead.

After a scenic drive, they arrived at the picturesque River Lodge at the Karoo Ridge Conservancy. Following a light lunch and a chance to unpack, the learners were warmly welcomed by Helen Wenham, who introduced them to the unique environment they were about to explore.

This engaging hike not only allowed the learners to appreciate the breathtaking landscape but also provided valuable insights on erosion and its impact on the environment. After an invigorating walk, the group returned to the River Lodge for some relaxation time, which included a refreshing swim before dinner.

This experience provided them with a close encounter with the local wildlife, further enriching their understanding of biodiversity in the Karoo region. The day concluded with a delightful dinner and braai in the Boma, where everyone gathered to reflect on the day’s adventures.

Saturday morning kicked off with a hearty breakfast cooked over an open fire, setting the stage for another exciting day ahead. The learners joined David Hall for a 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗸, which included discussions on the local flora and fauna, alongside a hands-on activity in small gabion building.

After a well-deserved lunch, the group wrapped up their enriching excursion and prepared to depart, leaving with a wealth of knowledge and unforgettable memories.

Union extends its 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗙𝗘𝗟𝗧 𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗧𝗨𝗗𝗘 to Mrs Hanli Rose-Innes for organising this memorable trip, as well as to Pete and Helen Wenham for their generous hospitality and guidance throughout the excursion.
