It is with mixed emotions that we recently found ourselves saying farewell to two remarkable individuals who have become an integral part of our boarding family.

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. ๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐บ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐ณ๐ต๐ช๐ฆ’๐ด ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐ค๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ, ๐ช๐ฏ๐ง๐ฆ๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ถ๐ด ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ฉ๐ถ๐ด๐ช๐ข๐ด๐ฎ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด ๐ฑ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ท๐ฆ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฎ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ช๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐จ๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ต๐ถ๐ฅ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ค๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ต๐ญ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด, ๐ฑ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ด ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ง๐ง ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด.
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.
Their wisdom, kindness, and genuine love for our learners have made an immeasurable impact on countless lives.
As we celebrate the incredible legacy they leave behind, we also express our heartfelt thanks for their countless contributions to Union as a whole. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐ถ๐ฟ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ผ ๐ณ๐ผ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ ๐ป๐๐ฟ๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐น๐๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ต๐ฒ๐น๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐ป๐๐น๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐ป๐ด ๐น๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ.
Rory and Martie, while we will miss your warm smiles, compassionate hearts and unwavering support, we are overjoyed that you will now embark on a well-deserved chapter of rest, relaxation, and new adventures. May this next phase of your lives be filled with joy, laughter and cherished moments spent with loved ones.
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.
