New Herby Arnott House Superintendent

We are delighted to extend ๐—” ๐—›๐—˜๐—”๐—ฅ๐—ง๐—™๐—˜๐—Ÿ๐—ง ๐—ช๐—˜๐—Ÿ๐—–๐—ข๐— ๐—˜ to the Ferreira family as they join us at Herby Arnott House from the start of this term as our junior boarding houseโ€™s new superintendent couple!

Bronwyn and Jacques, along with their children Aidan and Tara, have over the past couple of years, become valued members of our school family. Aidan, a Grade 6 learner, and Tara, a Grade 10 learner, are already familiar faces within our school community, and we are thrilled to now have them as part of our boarding programme.

Bronwyn brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise in learner well-being, fostering a nurturing environment where each child feels safe, supported and encouraged to thrive, while Jacques’ passion for building strong relationships and providing guidance will undoubtedly contribute to the growth and development of our boarders.

Rory and Martie have been pillars of support, compassion and guidance for our boarders throughout their tenure at Union High School, Graaff-Reinet. Since joining the Union family, they have dedicated themselves wholeheartedly to creating a warm, nurturing environment that has made Herby Arnott House a true home away from home.

Their unwavering commitment to the well-being of our boarders and their families has left an indelible mark on our school community. ๐˜™๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜บ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜”๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฆ’๐˜ด ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ถ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ, ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ง๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ด ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ฎ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด ๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ท๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜จ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด, ๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ด ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ง๐˜ง ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด.

We simply cannot envision boarding life at Union without them. Their presence has been a source of comfort and reassurance for all those who have needed to place their children in their care.

On behalf of the entire Union High School community, we extend our deepest gratitude and warmest wishes to Rory and Martie Sullivan as they enter this new chapter. You will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and your legacy will continue to inspire us all.
