Union High Schoolโs new Grade 8s started their year with a fun-filled ๐ข๐ฅ๐๐๐ก๐ง๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก day.
The aim of this activity is not only to promote positive interaction among the Grade 8 group, but also to establish a relationship of ๐ข๐ช๐ฉ๐ช๐๐ก ๐ง๐๐จ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฉ and ๐๐ค๐ก๐ก๐๐๐ค๐ง๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ between the Grade 8s and the schoolโs prefects.
So, bright and early Thursday morning, 20 January, the excited Grade 8s – accompanied by the guides from the Camdeboo National Park, Union staff members and school prefects – set off on from the school on foot, making their way through the scenic Camdeboo National Park, all the way to the parkโs Environmental Education Centre.
Here, the Grade 8s enjoyed lunch after which they engaged in activities with the parkโs educational team and then tackled a series of specially designed tasks that facilitated them working together as a grade and co-operating with the senior mentoring system in the school.
This was an excellent opportunity for the senior leaders of the school to get to know their younger charges.
The learners seemed to have a lot of ๐๐จ๐ก while creating a lot of ๐๐๐ฃ๐ฃ๐ฌ ๐ ๐๐ ๐ข๐ฅ๐๐๐ฆ of this exciting phase of their schooling.
Although completely exhausted, the Grade 8s arrived back on campus that afternoon, prepped, excited and ready to embark on the journey of being a senior at Union High School.
