History of Irene Irene opened its doors for the first time in 1963. It was the 9th ladies’ residence that was originally built to house 169 students. It increased the amount of students that Stellen-bosch University could accommodate to 2883 people. The opening of Irene was celebrated with a formal dinner ceremony. Guests of honour such as the rektor, Professor H.B. Thom, the resident head, Ms. De Lange, and the archi-tect, Mr. Collins, attended. Thereafter, the opening of the rec-reation room was celebrated at a function with neighbouring men’s residence, Eendrag. The ceremony was rounded off with another formal dinner at which all residents of Irene were present.

Geskiedenis van Irene Irene het haar deure vir die eerste maal in 1963 geopen. Die negende dameskoshuis van die Universiteit van Stellen-bosch is gebou om 169 studente te huisves. Dit het die totale getal student wat deur die Universiteit Stellenbosch gehuis-ves kan word, vermeerder tot 2 883. Die inlywing is gevier met ‘n dinee waar verskeie eregaste o.a. die rector, Prof. H.B. Thom, die inwonende hoof, Mev. De Lange, en die argitek van die koshuis, Mnr. Collins, en sy vrou teenwoordig was. Hierna is die inwyding van die ontspanningsaal ook gevier deur ‘n gesellige funksie saam met Eendrag. Die inlywing van die

Our Values I – Integriteit (integrity) R – Respek (respect) E – Eenheid (unity) N – Nederigheid (humility) E – Entoesiasme (enthusiasm) This is what Ireners represent and what we strive to apply in our daily lives. This is what all new residents are taught during the orientation period.

Our Vision - I will practice personal integrityand excellence of character and expect the same from others. - I will respect the dignity, value and worth of all persons while learning from the differences in people, ideas and opinions. - I will respect the rights and property of others, their feelings, and our communal need for conditions that promote personal growth and academic success. - Through my actions, I will honour and contribute to the rich heritage left by those who precede us and work

Language Policy Irene is primarily a bilingual residence and we encourage appli-cants who speak English and/or Afrikaans. In general, most residents are Afrikaans speaking because Stellenbosch Uni-versity was originally an Afrikaans University, but the number of English speaking students in Irene is increasing yearly.

Dear First Year It is an absolute honour to welcome

you to the Irene-family. Congratu-

lations on being selected to be a resi-

dent at the most beautiful ladies’ resi-

dence on the Stellenbosch Campus!

You are now entering one of the most

exciting phases of your life and I am

so happy to have the chance to meet

you and be your Irene sister. I know

that you may be feeling unsure or

afraid of leaving home, but I promise

that we will try our absolute best to

make Irene a warm and loving home

for you.

We are expecting approximately 60

first years in 2012 with a total of 175

Ireners next year. An action-packed,

fun-filled orientation programme

awaits you from the very first day that

you arrive. I want to encourage you to

come here with an enthusiastic and

positive attitude – I assure you that if

you do, you will make great friend-

ships and memories that will last a

lifetime.

All University residences open earlier

for first years to move in and partici-

pate in the welcoming programme. I

strongly advise participation in our

programme as it will greatly improve

your overall residence experience.

The House Committee, locally known

as HK, will guide you through the pro-

gramme and show you around cam-

pus. The 10 HK members are respon-

sible for managing all aspects of Irene

and each of us has our own portfolios

to manage. We are students just like

you and we understand many of the

challenges and problems that you will

face. I want to assure you that we are

here to help you and answer any

questions that you may have.

During MAD2 (period formerly known

as JOOL), we will be interacting with

many male residences too. Irene’s

partner for participating in all MAD2

activities (such as Vensters, March for

MADness and Bondelsport) is men’s

residence, Huis Marais. We are ex-

tremely excited to be working with

these gentlemen and I can guarantee

that you will love skakeling (mixing)

with them too.

First years will also be allocated a

Mentor in Irene and you will be

grouped with your Mentor according

to faculty. Your Mentor will help you

with your academic orientation. This

means that she will guide you through

the registration process, teach you

about HEMIS and take you to faculty

orientation. You may also contact the

SSVO if you need any help with career

advice.

Letter from the PrimariaLetter from the PrimariaLetter from the PrimariaLetter from the Primaria

All first years will have a roommate in

2012, but you will only meet your

roommate when you move in. I ask

that you please fill in the attached

personality quiz to help us match you

with your roommate. You are invited

to move into Irene on Tuesday, 24

January 2012 from 14:00-16:30. Dur-

ing this time, you may bring your lug-

gage to your room, but you are unfor-

tunately not permitted to sleep at

Irene on 24 January. The second op-

portunity to move in will be on

Wednesday, 25 January from 08:00-

12:00.

The parents’ lunch will commence at

12:00, so I ask that all first years must

be moved in by this time. Please also

notify us as soon as possible how

many parents will be accompanying

you to the lunch. The orientation pro-

gramme will kick off after the lunch

and you will thereafter sleep in Irene.

You will unfortunately have very little

free time during the welcoming pro-

gramme because we have a very full

schedule, so I respectfully request

that your parents do not visit Irene

during orientation. You will be given

free time on Sunday, 29 January from

14:00-17:30. You may then use this

time to interact with friends and par-

ents. The welcoming programme

ends on Saturday, 4 February at 15:30

and you are thereafter free to do as

you please.

I want to ask you to make 2012 a

memorable and successful year. Grab

every opportunity that comes your

way and live your student life to the

fullest! Best of luck with your Matric

results and have a fantastic holiday.

Lots of Irene love

Letter from the PrimariaLetter from the PrimariaLetter from the PrimariaLetter from the Primaria

Liewe Irener Dit is ‘n absolute eer om u te ver-

welkom by die Irene-familie. Baie ge-

luk dat jy gekies is om ‘n inwoner te

wees van die mooiste dames koshuis

op die Stellenbosch-kampus! Jy is nou

in een van die mees opwindende

fases van jou lewe en ek is so gelukkig

om die kans te hê om jou te ontmoet

en jou Irene-suster te wees. Ek weet

dat jy voel miskien onseker of bang

om die huis te verlaat, maar ek be-

lowe dat ons sal ons absolute bes

probeer om Irene ‘n warm en liefde-

volle huis vir jou te maak.

Ons verwag ongeveer 60 eerstejaars

in 2012 met ‘n totaal van 175 Ireners

volgende jaar. ‘n aksiebelaaide, pret-

tige oriënteringsprogram wag vir jou

van die heel eerste dag af wanner jy

aankom. Ek wil u aanmoedig om hier

aan te kom met ‘n entoesiastiese en

positiewe gesindheid - ek kan jou

verseker dat as jy dit doen, sal jy baie

goeie vriendskappe en herinneringe

maak wat’ n leeftyd sal duur.

Alle koshuise maak vroeër oop vir

eerstejaars om in te beweeg en deel

te neem in die verwelkomingspro-

gram. Ek wil u sterk aanmoedig om in

ons program deel te neem, want dit

sal jou totale verblyf ervaring baie

verbeter. Die Huiskomitee, plaaslik

bekend as HK, sal jou lei deur middel

van die program en wys jou rondom

die kampus. Die 10 lede van die HK is

verantwoordelik vir die bestuur van

van alle aspekte van Irene en elkeen

van ons het ons eie portefeuljes om

te bestuur. Ons is studente net soos

jy, en ons verstaan baie van die uit-

dagings en probleme wat jy sal in die

gesig staar. Ek wil u verseker dat ons

hier is om jou te help en beantwoord

enige vrae wat u mag hê.

Gedurende MAD2 (tydperk voorheen

bekend as JOOL), sal ons interaksie

met baie manskoshuise hê. Irene se

vennoot vir deelname in alle MAD2

aktiwiteite (soos Vensters, March for

MADness en Bondelsport) is die man-

skoshuis, Huis Marais. Ons is baie op-

gewonde om saam te werk met hier-

die here en ek kan waarborg dat jy sal

dit baie geniet om met hulle te skakel.

Eerstejaars sal ook ‘n mentor in Irene

kry en jy sal met jou mentor ge-

groepeer word volgens fakulteit. Jou

mentor sal jou help met akademiese

oriëntering. Dit beteken dat sy jou sal

lei deur die registrasie proses, jou oor

HEMIS leer en jou tot fakulteit oriën-

tasie neem. Jy kan ook die SSVO kon-

tak as jy enige hulp nodig het met

loopbaanadvies.

Brief van die PrimariaBrief van die PrimariaBrief van die PrimariaBrief van die Primaria

Alle eerstejaars sal ‘n kamermaat hê

in 2012, maar jy sal net jou kamer-

maat ontmoet wanneer jy aankom. Ek

vra dat jy asseblief die aangehegte

persoonlikheid quiz invul om ons te

help met kamermaat parings. U word

genooi om op Dinsdag, 24 Januarie

2012 vanaf 14:00-16:30 te beweeg in

Irene. Gedurende hierdie tyd, kan jy

jou bagasie bring na jou kamer toe,

maar jy sal ongelukkig nie toegelaat

word om in Irene te slaap op 24 Janu-

arie. Die tweede geleentheid om in te

beweeg, sal op Woensdag, 25 Janu-

arie vanaf 8:00-12:00 wees.

Die ouerete sal om 12:00 begin, so ek

vra dat al die eerstejaars moet teen

hierdie tyd ingetrek word. Laat ons

asseblief ook so gou as moontlik weet

hoeveel ouers sal na die middagete

gaan kom. Die oriënteringsprogram

skop af na die ouerete en jy sal

daarna in Irene slaap. Jy sal ongeluk-

kig baie min vrye tyd tydens die ver-

welkomingsprogram hê, want ons het

‘n baie vol skedule, so ek vra met re-

spek dat jou ouers nie Irene besoek

tydens oriëntering nie. Jy sal vrye tyd

gegee word op Sondag, 29 Januarie

vanaf 14:00-17:30. Jy kan dan hierdie

tyd gebruik om jou vriende en ouers

te sien. Die verwelkomingsprogram

eindig op Saterdag, 4 Februarie om

15:30 en jy is daarna vry om te doen

wat jy wil.

Ek wil vra dat jy 2012 ‘n onvergeetlike

en suksesvolle jaar maak. Gryp elke

geleentheid wat oor jou pad kom en

leef jou studente lewe ten volle!

Sterkte met jou Matriek uitslae, en

geniet jou vakansie.

Met baie Irene liefde

Letter from the HK of First YearsLetter from the HK of First YearsLetter from the HK of First YearsLetter from the HK of First Years Dear First Year Congratulations on your placement in

Irene Girls’ Residence. It is a huge privi-

lege to be placed in any res, and an even

bigger privilege to get placed in one like

Irene!

I want to assure each one of you from the

beginning that there were NO mistakes

made during your placement in Irene.

Each and every one of you was sent to

Irene with a specific purpose and for that

reason we do not only have a BED for

you, but also a special PLACE.

As HK of first years, you are my first prior-

ity and responsibility during the first two

weeks of welcoming and I can’t wait to

get to know each of you on a personal

level. During welcoming it is also my duty

to give you all the necessary information

and teach you all the needed skills to be-

come a Matie student. Therefore we are

going to be following a very strict sched-

ule and I want to encourage you to get

enough rest during the holidays.

You are welcome to move in and get your

room ready on 24 January 2012 between

14:00 – 17:00, but you are only allowed

to sleep in res from the 25th of January.

The official moving in will be on 25 Janu-

ary from 08:00 to 12:00, followed by

lunch with your parents at Irene. I will be

waiting excitedly with the rest of the HK

on both of the moving-in sessions to wel-

come you and answer any questions you

might have.

Breakfast, Lunch and Supper will be sup-

plied every day from 25 January (from

lunch).

A list of necessities is included in the

booklet and includes everything that you

are going to need during welcoming. Each

one of you also received a room place-

ment form that must be sent back to

Irene as soon as possible / completed on

the website.

Regarding the welcoming period: I hope

you’ve all received information from the

University which includes important dates

and sessions presented by the university.

Irene’s program works together with the

university’s academic program as well as

with the MAD2 committee’s MAD2 pro-

gram.

You are very privileged to be the first first

years to participate in MAD2 (Making a

Decision 2 Make a Difference). The suc-

cess of the first MAD2 will rest in your

hands and I am sure that you will arrive at

the “Huis met Hart” with enough positiv-

ity and enthusiasm to make it an unfor-

gettable experience. The purpose is to

raise as much money as possible for MGD

(Maties Community Service) so that we as

students can make a difference in the

community.

If you have any questions, problems,

stress or even just excitement that can-

not wait until 25 January 2012, please

don’t hesitate to call or Facebook or sms

me!

I know you are experiencing a lot of

mixed emotions while reading this letter,

but I can assure you that EXCITEMENT is

the only one you should be feeling! It is

the start of BIG differences in each of

your lives – new friends, new swottings,

new challenges, a new home… but all I

can say is CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!! (A

little more on this later…)

Irene is waiting with open arms and a

warm heart to meet her new sisters.

Merry Christmas and a very happy new

year to you and your family.

Kind regards

Michelle Laubscher

Baie geluk met jou plasing in Irene Dames

-koshuis. Dit is ‘n ongelooflike groot eer

en voorreg om in enige koshuis geplaas te

word en selfs nog meer in een soos Irene!

Ek wil reeds van die begin af vir elkeen

van julle waarborg dat daar GEEN foute

gemaak is tydens jou plasing in Irene nie.

Elkeen van julle is met ‘n spesifieke doel

na Irene gestuur en daarom is daar nie

net ‘n BED vir jou nie, maar ook ‘n spesi-

ale PLEK.

As HK van eerstejaars is elkeen van julle

my eerste prioriteit en verant-

woordelikheid tydens die eerste twee

weke van verwelkoming en ek kan nie

wag om julle elkeen persoonlik te leer

ken nie. Tydens verwelkoming is dit my

werk om julle toe te rus met die nodige

inligting en ondersteuning vir die lewe

van ‘n Matie student. Ons gaan dus ‘n

baie besige program volg en daarom wil

ek julle aanmoedig om goed uit te rus die

vakansie.

Julle is welkom om reeds op die 24ste

Januarie 2012 vanaf 14:00 - 17:00 in te

trek en uit te pak, maar daar word egter

eers slaapplek voorsien vanaf die aand

van die 25ste Januarie. Die amptelike

intreksessie is Woensdag, 25 Januarie

2012, vanaf 08:00 – 12:00. Ek en die res

van die HK wag opgewonde by albei in-

treksessies om julle te verwelkom en sal

enige vrae dan beantwoord as daar nog

onsekerheid is.

Alle etes (oggend, middag en aand) word

voorsien vanaf middagete op Woensdag

25 Januarie.

‘n Lys van benodigdhede is ingesluit in die

boekie van alles wat ons tydens ver-

welkoming gaan gebruik. Elkeen het ook

‘n kamerindelingsvraelys ontvang wat

asb. so gou as moontlik terug na Irene

gepos moet word of op ons webtuiste

voltooi kan word.

Met betrekking tot die die ver-

welkomingtydperk self: Julle het hopelik

alreeds ‘n inligtingstuk van die Univer-

siteit ontvang wat die datums van ver-

welkoming weergee - hierdie tydperk

sluit in sessies aangebied deur die Univer-

sitiet in. Die koshuisprogram werk hand

aan hand met die Universiteit se akade-

miese program, sowel as die MAD2 ko-

mitee se MAD2 program.

Julle is in ‘n baie bevoorregde posisie om

die eerste eerstejaars te wees wat deel-

neem aan MAD2 (making a decision to

make a difference). Die sukses van MAD2

lê dus in julle hande en ek is seker dat

elkeen met die nodige positiwiteit en

entoesiamse by die “Huis met HART” sal

arriveer om MAD2 ‘n onvergeetlike ervar-

ing te maak. Die hoofdoel is om soveel as

moontlik geld in te samel vir Maties Ge-

meenskapsdiens (MGD) sodat ons as stu-

dente ‘n verskil in ons gemeenskap kan

maak.

Indien daar enige probleme, stres, vrae of

selfs net opgewondenheid is wat nie kan

wag tot 25 Januarie 2012 nie, kan julle my

enigetyd kontak / SMS / Facebook.

Ek weet dat daar nou gemengde

gevoelens in julle harte is soos julle die

brief lees, maar ek kan julle verseker dat

OPGEWONDENHEID die belangrikste een

is. Dis nou die begin van GROOT ve-

randeringe in elkeen van julle se lewens –

nuwe vriende, nuwe kursus, nuwe uitdag-

ings, nuwe huis… al wat ek kan sê is:

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!! (‘n bietjie meer

hieroor later…)

Irene wag met ope arms en ‘n warm hart

om haar nuwe sussie te ontmoet.

Geseënde Kersfees en ‘n voorspoedige

nuwe jaar vir jou en jou familie.

Vriendelike groete

Michelle Laubscher

Dear New First Year

Welcome to the house with style, on

the corner of Victoria Street. Irene is

more than just a residence: it is your

second home, where you make great

memories, share special moments,

and make lifelong friends.

I hope that your final exam was suc-

cessful and that you are as excited as

we are about the upcoming year. The

idea of a new environment with new

people can be overwhelming. Perhaps

Stellenbosch is far from your home,

or you are wondering whether you

will adjust to this new living environ-

ment. The reason I am writing you

this letter, is to let you know that you

do not have to worry, as the mentors

will be there to make this adjustment

easier for you.

Each residence on campus has men-

tors, which are appointed by the uni-

versity. Irene has 12 senior students

that are mentors for the upcoming

year. The first years are divided into

groups, according to their courses,

and each group has a mentor. The

first few weeks of the year may have

many uncertainties, but your mentor

will be there to walk the path with

you. Your mentor will support and

guide you on academic, personal and

social levels. She is like an older sister

who really cares for you and who as-

sists you with your registration,

course, timetable, textbooks and

other aspects of being a Matie. Your

mentor is someone whose door is

always open, and who you can go and

talk to about any of your worries and

fears.

In this new chapter of your life, aca-

demics will be your first priority, but

this will also be a time of great per-

sonal development and growth. Hav-

ing experienced first year ourselves,

we as mentors will try out best to

help you balance everything, so that

you get your degree and grow as per-

son as much as possible. We cannot

wait to meet you, so be calm and

know that you mentor will be there

for you when you move in!

Greetings

Beste Nuwe Eerstejaar

Welkom in die huis vol dames met

styl op die hoek van Victoriastraat.

Irene is meer as net ‘n koshuis, dit is

‘n tweede huis waar jy ongelooflike

herinneringe maak, spesiale oomb-

likke deel lewensvriendinne maak.

Ek glo jou finale eksamen was ‘n suk-

ses en dat jy saam met ons opge-

wonde is oor die jaar wat voorlê. Die

idee aan ‘n nuwe omgewing met

vreemde mense en dinge kan baie

skrikwekkend wees. Dalk is Stellen-

bosch ver van jou huis af, of jy was

nog nooit in ‘n koshuis nie, en jy won-

der of jy sal aanpas. Ek skryf hierdie

brief om jou gerus te stel. Die men-

tors is hier om jou aanpassing in die

nuwe, onbekende omgewing vir jou

te makliker te maak.

Elke koshuis op kampus het mentors

wat deur die universiteit aangestel

word. In Irene is daar 12 senior stu-

dente wat as mentors dien. Die eer-

stejaars word in groepies opgedeel

volgens hul kursus en elke mentor kry

dan ‘n groepie eerstejaars. Die eerste

paar weke van die jaar bring veral

baie onsekerhede en jou mentor is

hier om die soms wankelrige, tog op-

windende pad saam met jou te stap.

As mentors ondersteun ons jou op

akademiese, persoonlike en sosiale

vlak. Jou mentor is soos ‘n ouer sussie

wat jou met enige vrae en bekom-

mernisse van registrasie, jou kursus,

klasrooster, handboeke en vele ander

aspekte van Matie-wees sal help. Sy is

iemand wat regtig vir jou omgee en

wie se deur altyd oop staan vir jou.

Soos jy hierdie nuwe hoofstuk van jou

lewe is akademie jou eerste prioriteit,

maar daarmee saam is dit ‘n tyd van

persoonlike groei en ontwikkeling.

Ons was almal ook deur eerstejaar en

verstaan die uitdagings en aanpass-

ings wat vir jou voorlê en wil jou

graag help om die balans te vind so-

dat jy jou akademie onder die knie

het en optimaal groei en ontwikkel as

mens. Die mentors kan nie wag om

julle te ontmoet nie! Wees rustig en

weet dat jou mentor hier vir jou sal

wees as jy intrek.

Groete

Liefste nuwe Irene dame As ‘n matie en ‘n awesome Irener sal

jy met jou aankoms op Stellenbosch

kampus besef dat Maties Gemeen-

skapsdiens oftewel MGD vir ons ’n

saak van uiterse belang is. In die ge-

woel en werskaf waarin ons onsself

daagliks as studente bevind, is dit

maklik om afgestomp te raak met wat

in die ‘regte wêreld’ buite die Stellen-

bosch ‘bubble’ aangaan. MGD bied ’n

geleentheid vir ons as Ireners om in-

teraktief deel te neem in die omlig-

gende kampus areas en Irene gryp

hierdie geleentheid met albei hande

aan. Daar word byvoorbeeld vir julle

as eerstejaars ’n spesiale gemeen-

skapsdag gehou in oriënteringsweek

waarin julle bekendgestel gaan word

aan hoe dinge werk in hierdie opsig.

Ons as Ireners wil egter nie slegs net

opdaag en verdwyn in die massas nie,

maar ’n daadwerklike verskil maak.

Dus is daar ’n geleentheid vir die

Irene eerstejaars om ’n deeltjie van

julself te gee en ’n klein dog daad-

werklike verskil in iemand se lewe te

maak. Met jou aankoms by jou nuwe

huis ( JA!) sa ldaar die PAY IT FOR-

WARD boks in die voorportaal wees

waarin jy asseblief ’n geskenk pakkie

kan gee met die volgende beno-

dighede in:

’n NUWE tandeborsel en tandepasta

’n Waslappie/-sponsie en badseep

’n Pakkie sanitêre doekies

’n Vroue kledingstuk (’n ‘large’

grootte trui sal byvoorbeeld die ding

doen)

’n Pakkie ‘Cup A Soup’/ ‘Two Minute

Noodles’/Blikkieskos wat as ’n

maaltyd kan dien

’n Lekkernytjie soos ’n sjokolade of

nie-bederfbare lekker

’n Vroue tydskrif

Dit sal gaaf wees as jou pakkie elkeen

vn hierdie items bevat, maar doen

slegs wat vir jou moontlik is, solank

dit met liefde uit jou hart kom. Dankie

vir jou omgee hart, kan nie wag om

jou te ontmoet in 2012 nie, mag jy dit

geniet om deel te raak van die beste

Huis met Hart.

Liefde,

Dearest new Irene lady

As a Matie and an awesome new

Irener you will soon realize that

Maties Community Interaction is a

campus-wide passion. In our busy

lives as students it is hard to stay con-

nected to what happens outside the

Stellenbosch campus ‘bubble’. There-

fore MGD is an amazing platform put

there by the university to interact

with our surrounding communities,

and Irene uses this platform with vig-

orous joy. In orientation week you

will not only take part in an overall

If your gift could contain each of

these items it would be beautiful but

a loving heart and this will be enough.

Thank you so much for your kind

heart, can’t wait to meet you in 2012!

May you find great joy in becoming a

part of the best House with Heart.

Welkom by Irene en al die geleenthede wat vir jou wag. Jy is sekerlik baie op-

gewonde om Stellenbosch te ontdek en deel te neem aan Irene se aktiwiteite.

Dit is egter baie belangrik dat mens ‘n goeie balans handhaaf tussen buite-

muurse aktiwiteite, sport, kultuur, sosiale gebeure en akademie. As HK van

Akademie wil ek enige vrees wat jy dalk mag hê gerus stel. Ireners is bekend

daarvoor dat hulle hardwerkend en gemotiveerd is. Ons respekteer en mo-

tiveer mekaar om seker te maak dat elkeen van ons akademies byhou tot die

beste van ons vermoë. Ons bou mekaar ook op en maak ten alle tye seker dat

die emosionele kant die afgeskeep word nie. Daar is ruimte om jou kennis te

verdiep in jou gekose kursus, vele strukture in plek (onder andere eerste-

jaarsstudie-sessies, mentors en tutors-sessies) om te verseker dat jy optimaal

aanpas en nie net leer nie, maar waarlik as mens ontwikkel. Geniet die vakan-

sie en ek sien uit daarna om na al jou akademiese behoeftes om te sien in die

nuwe jaar.

Welcome at Irene and to all the opportunities coming your way. Surely you

can’t wait to explore Stellenbosch and participate in Irene and on campus.

However, it is very important that you maintain balanced attitude regarding

sport, culture, outdoor activities, social events and academics. As HK of Aca-

demics, I want to put any fears you might have at ease. Ireners are known for

being hardworking and motivated. We respect and motivate each other to

make sure that each of us cope academically, as well as emotionally, to the

best of our abilities. There is room to expand your knowledge in your chosen

course, many structures in place to make sure you adjust properly ( firstyear

study sessions, mentor and tutor sessions ). Besides just learning, it is also

important to us you grow as an individual. Enjoy the holiday season and I’m

looking forward to meet your every need in regards with academics in the

new year.

KultuurKultuurKultuurKultuur

Over the years culture has become a very important part of the Irene life-

style. Every year Ireners participate in various Cultural activities which include

various in-house activities and other which take place right around Campus.

Kicking off early in the year with “Molassaser”, which is always a highlight and

great fun. It involves the learning of songs to serenade to some of the Men’s

residences on Campus. Anyone in Irene can participate, and it is a perfect op-

portunity to meet friends, and have a great time, showing off the Irene talent.

Further Campus activities include events such as Kleinser, a Competition

which is now established nationwide between Universities; Toneelfees,

hosted by the ATKV, debating and many others. Internal activities such as Cul-

ture evenings, is where students can showcase their talents in front of their

own res and others, and is usually hosted at least once a term.

Cultural activities in Irene aim at creating opportunities for students to in-

crease in sociability and personal development. They are given the opportu-

nity to learn new things, share ideas and talents. It is not something for the

residence but something for you, to partake in, build self-esteem and a

chance to become involved and make new friends.

If you have any questions, any concern regarding the Cultural sphere in Irene

or on Campus, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Looking forward to meet you all.

Die kluster inisiatief is deur die universiteit begin om interaksie tussen stu-

dent van verskillende huise en PSO’s te laat plaasvind. Koshuise word in

groepe verdeel en binne die kluster vind daar dan ‘n groot verskeidenheid

aktiwiteite plaas. Die hoof doel van die kluster inisiatief is akademiese onder-

steuning. In die clusters is daar mentors wat die eerstejaars akademies onder-

steun en lei deur hulle eerste jaar van universiteit. Die eerstejaars kry ook ‘n

kans om ander student van hulle fakulteite te leer ken.

Die Wimbledon kluster bestaan uit Irene, Helshoogte, Eendrag, Sonop,

Aristea en Vesta. Die kluster se waardes is omgee, vriendskap, vryheid en ver-

troue. Wimbledon kluster se waardes is daarop gerig om ‘n gelukkige en ge-

balanseerde student te verseker wat met vrymoedigheid en vryheid hulle

drome en ideale kan uitleef en ook die nodige ondersteuningsbasis het om

hierdie drome ten volle na te streef.

The cluster community is an initiative by the university to ensure between

students from different residences and PSO’s. Residences are divided into

groups within each one of the clusters a wide range of activities takes place

throughout the year. The main purpose of the cluster initiative is academic

support. In the clusters there are mentors who support and assist the first

years academically. The firstyears also gets a chance to meet other students

Sport speel ‘n belangrike rol in die balans van Irene wees en maak Irene net

soveel meer spesiaal. Daar is geen beter gevoel as om Irene op die sportveld

te verteenwoordig nie. Ons neem met trots deel aan alles sportsoorte wat op

kampus aangebied word. Irene bied netbal, sokker, tafeltennis, muurbal, hok-

kie, tennis, snooker, dames touchies en skaak aan. Daar is waarlik ‘n groot

verkeidenheid vir elke meisie.

Irene het ‘n baie suksesvolle jaar gehad, aangaande die sport in ons koshuis.

Beide die eerste spanne van ons netbal en tafeltennis het deelgeneem aan

die finale van die koshuisligas.

Elke jaar bied Irene ‘n sportweek aan waar ons teen ‘n ander koshuis kompet-

eer vir pret. Daar is ‘n verskeidenheid van pret sportsoorte wat gespeel word

soos snoeker, vlugbal, fooseball en sokker. Die aand word afgesluit met ‘n

“ladies’ night” waar ons fliek kyk, springmielies eet en hot chocolate drink.

Ons het hierdie jaar teen monica gespeel sowel as ons buurmanne Eendrag,

wat groot pret verskaf het. Interseksiesport in Irene week is ook ‘n groot

hoogtepunt waar die meisies binne die koshuis teen mekaar kompeteer. Daar

is ‘n kombinasie van boeresport en nuwe gunstelinge soos 30secondes. Dit is

die perfekte geleentheid vir die meisies om mekaar beter te leer ken, ‘n breuk

te vat van die akademie en jou vermoë om ‘n toffee appel tee eet te wys.

Irene sport is die perfekte manier om nuwe vriendskappe op te bou en vir jou

om bytedra tot die Irene. Ons kan nie wag om jou op die sportveld te sien nie.

SportSportSportSport

Sport is a vital part of what makes Irene so special. There is no feeling quite

like representing Irene on the sports field. We take great pleasure and great

pride in our sport. Irene offers netball, soccer, table tennis, squash, hockey,

tennis, pool, dames touchies and chess. There is truly something for every-

one. Irene had a very successful year regarding the sport in our residence.

The first netball team went to the finals were they lost with a few points, as

well as the table tennis first team who were in the finals.

Every year we host a sports week against another residence where we

enjoy a variety of sports within a fun, social atmosphere. This year Irene com-

peted against Monica and our neighbours Eendrag, which evolved a lot of

fun. We compete in sports like soccer, foosball, pool and volleyball, before

ending it off with a girls’ night: movies, popcorn and hot chocolate. Intersec-

tion sport is another highlight in the sporting calendar. Sport takes place

within Irene week and combines a bit of traditional “Boeresport” with mod-

ern favourites like 30 seconds.

It is the perfect opportunity to take a break from the academics, bond with

your neighbours, and show off your unique toffee apple eating ability. Irene

sport is the ideal way to get to build friendships and make a contribution

to Irene. We can’t wait to see you on the sports field.
