Senior Prizegiving

The annual Union High School Prizegiving was held in the school hall on Friday 19 October. The guest of honour, Mrs Moira Light, who graciously presented the prizes to those being recognised, was introduced by Head of Department, Mrs Nelia Read. Mrs Light has two children, Rebecca and Matthew, who have matriculated at Union High, and is married to Derek, who is Chairman of the Union High Development Trust.

Mr David Langmead, Chairman of the School Governing Body, presented his welcoming speech and reported on the activities of the Governing Body after which the Headmaster, Mr W.E. Pringle, presented his annual report.

It was a glittering occasion where the many achievements and triumphs, and those who simply work hard behind the scenes, throughout the year were recognised. In addition, a number of Grade 12 learners who intend studying at tertiary institutions next year received bursaries for further studies.

A highlight of the evening was the announcement of the head prefects of the school for 2019. The entire Union community was unanimous in their support for Peter Watermeyer(Headboy), Jenna McNaughton (Headgirl), Khanya Butshingi (Deputy Headboy) and Zintle Maki (Deputy Headgirl).

Junior Prizegiving

The Union High School’s Primary Department Prizegiving took place on Friday, 19 October 2018 at 09:00 in the Union High School Hall.

The Prizegiving is the highlight of the year where learners are rewarded for their academic, sport and cultural achievements.

The prestigious occasion was opened by the Junior Department choir. In Mr Pringle’s address, he could not hide his pride for the learners of the Primary Department.

Mr David Langmead, Union High’s Governing Body Chairman, gave a very insightful address on attitude and how a person’s attitude can influence a person’s outlook and perception of life. The learners were mesmerised by his address.   Mrs Bronwen Langmead was the guest of honour and handed out all the awards to our prize winners.

We are very proud of our learners’ achievements and will continue to strive for excellence. We congratulate all our prize winners.
