WYNBERG GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL 2013 2013 | Page 43

waterloo Waterloo has always been a force to be reckoned with and this year has been no different. Our girls have always shown immense passion, athleticism and intelligence. We have had successes in each pillar, ranking 1st and 2nd in the skipping and hoola-hoop challenges. We shone in the Service pillar by coming 2nd in the clothing challenge and increasing the momentum and drive to bring sandwiches every week by nearly 80%. These successes were only possible because the girls worked as a team. Waterloo has also had many individual successes. Girls have been recognised for their general knowledge and in the Academic pillar, and many Waterloo girls were appointed to significant leadership positions for 2014. Waterloo has always taken pride in calling itself a family. Girls of different grades, backgrounds and walks of life have accepted each other and formed bonds, often unbreakable. I am so grateful that I was appointed Head of House this year because, through my leadership position, I have been able to see this first-hand and I have really got to know the girls on a level I would not otherwise have been able to do. It has been extremely important to me that the girls get to know me and I them. This is something I feel that I have achieved. As a result girls have supported Waterloo as passionately as I have – on the playing fields and in the classroom. Waterloo is my family and the best family to be a part of at Wynberg.

We won the coin challenge twice in a row, won the Best Costume Award in the House plays, and won the clothing challenge, to name but a few. The best part about all the house challenges has been to see the enthusiasm from the girls and the unity within the house. We have also had great bonding sessions such as outreach days at Tenterden and a movie evening at school. May we go from strength to strength in years to come!
