Prestige Athletics Results The annual Prestige athletics against Gimnasium, Volkskool and Lichtenburg High Schools has once again made us realize what a great school we have. Well done to our athletes who continue to improve and are now achieving in all events. Our spectators & cheerleaders were amazing on the stands. The theme song and decor so appropriate. Each and every girl at GHS is “1 in a million”. Thank you to all parents who attended and supported us.

Camp out …For the Girls… Thank you to everyone involved in the Camp Out. What a fantastic turn out!! We had around 48 “Camp Sites” with at least 122 people camping over after the athletics. The main aim of the camp out is for parents to socialize with other parents and have special moments with their daughters. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the camp this year and believe I missed out on a great evening. A special thank you to Mr & Mrs Padayachee, Mr & Mrs Retief, Mrs Jones and Mr Fisher, (…For the Girls… Committee) for organising such a fantastic event. Start booking the date for next year’s camp out!

Girls High Greetings!
