Grade 11s going GREEN and making memories

 A memory is a gift that you can cherish forever
by: Abigail Combrink 


"The best gifts in the world are not in the material objects one can buy from the store, but in the memories we make with the people we love"

The most beautiful memories are made when you weren't even planning on making memories. Simply by having this remarkable opportunity of participating in Interschools, we have so much to look forward to together: Not just the sports matches, but rather the smaller moments we often take for granted. The moments when our friends paint our faces jade, white and blue facepaint, or the moments when our teammates are huddled together for one last time before our final match or the moments that we can stand alongside our sisters whilst supporting our friends.

In the future we might not remember the final scores of every match, but rather the time we spent embracing every moment during Interschools. The grade 11s of Paarl Girls’ High is a mettlesome grade whose lively and free-spirits never falters. With the innermost belief in the magic in making memories, our grade 11s proudly embraced the Paarl Girls' High spirit by participating in our "Dress Green Day".

These fond memories we have the privilege of making everyday with our sisters truly is a gift that shouldn't be taken for granted. As sisters standing side by side, we know that we are currently forming future memories that we can hold close to our hearts forever.

Die volgende skuif is julle s'n...

  Die volgende skuif is julle s'n.. . Ons Laerskool het Vrydag, 22 Julie, uitgehaal en gewys. Hulle gees en entoesiasme vir die Interskole skaak kon nie weggesteek word nie. Hulle het Gimnasium ingelei tot die  Girls' High manier van dinge doen toe hulle hul met selfs koninginne verwelkom het. Dit is die eerste keer in 'n hele aantal jare wat Girls' High weer die laerskool interskole skaak aangebied het en ons het dit met styl gedoen. Dit was grotendeels vir ons spelers 'n kans om te groei en ontwikkel in hul skaak vernuf. Die A-span het gelykop gespeel met drie wenne elk, maar ons B-span het ongelukkig verloor. Ag, natuurlik as jy nog klein is en vir jou opponent  oor 'n swart-en-wit bord  moet loer,  voel jy geïntimideerd en bang dat jy sal verloor. As dit wel gebeur is jou hartjie, maar so bietjie seer. Gelukkig is troos naby in die drukkies van 'n maatjie of Mevrou Van Zyl wat haar oor al haar kinders ontferm. Wen of verloor, sê Mevrou Annalize Strangfel

The Roof, the roof, the roof is on fire...

  The Roof, the roof, the roof is on fire.. . The PGHS Primary School is taking the lead and warming up the playground for interschools. Today they had a sing-song session. If you are ten or eleven you need not be invited to enjoy the moment and let yourself be one with the crowd and the spirit of something you do not yet understand the seriousness of. If you are ten or eleven you can just be... be swept up, be present and be joyful.

A last hurrah to Interschools 2022

  A last hurrah to Interschools 2022  Let's give the last hurrah to Interschools 2022! It was a sports festival packed with action, emotion, and colour. The weather also made itself a player in the game.  The spirit of Interschools was revived this year with two (three) top-notch schools competing to trump each other on the day. Spectators got spoiled with a display of skill, strength, grit, and resilience often missing from national and international games. As school communities, we can be proud of the spirit with which we approached the event. One had the feeling that prior to 2020 the school community became blasé about the event. They forgot that they are dealing with children. The crowds were aggressive and rude to players. This year words of encouragement and appreciation were heard in abundance. Paarl Girls’ High set as a theme and values for this year's Interschools: Interschools revival: Synergy, Courage, Kindness, and Gratitude . I believe that part of the success of
