WYNBERG GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL 2013 2013 | Page 42

kirsten The past year has been a busy one for Kirsten. We have held a number of sandwich days in which we have made hundreds of sandwiches and also hosted our own Interhouse Skipping Challenge and excelled in the Coin Challenge and others. Our house picnic, held earlier in the year for students and family, had a great turn out and was great fun. It also created a sense of family within the house and it was here that our house spirit improved. Although Kirsten did not come top each term, we grew as a house and thoroughly enjoyed every minute spent together. Kirsten is a wonderful family, full of talented young women who will no doubt succeed in life. It is also thanks to the tutor teachers and house coordinator that Kirsten is such a wonderful house. Sarah Mesham Alison Smith Sarah Mesham silverlea Our vibrant new Grade 8's started 2013 on a positive note and as true Silverleans, we welcomed them with open arms. Orientation allowed the Grade 8's to bond and feel a part of our Silverlea family. This year we really bonded as a house through our service acts which included going to Capricorn Primary School. One of the year’s highlights was the Silverlea braai, where we mingled, played volleyball and, an all time favourite, stuck-in-the-mud. Sports days were filled with enthusiasm, especially interhouse netball, as it is something at which Silverlea excels. Silverlea met every challenge with creativity and passion: we came 1st in the pet food challenge and 3rd in the volleyball. The year has been filled with challenges, rewards and great memories have been made. As head of house for Silverlea, I have learnt the true meaning of the word Team. Miki Lawrence Catherine Paulse Thank you, Silverleans, for affording me this great opportunity to be your head of house. I wish you everything of the best for 2014. Catherine Paulse
