Early Monday morning, 26 January, Union High School, Graaff-Reinet’s new Grade 8s, along with the prefects and grade teachers set off on a hike into the Camdeboo National Park.
The reason for this was two fold – firstly, to orientate themselves in the beautiful natural environment and secondly to get to know one another and the prefects.
After 5km of gradual uphill, the Grade 8s reached the top of the neck, flanked by Spandaukop to the left and the Valley of Desolation to the right.
The view into the Camdeboo was spectacular and in turning around and seeing Graaff-Reinet way below, it dawned on everyone how much they had ascended.
๐๐๐๐จ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ง๐จ’ ๐๐ง๐๐๐ 8๐จ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ง๐๐ข๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ก๐ฎ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ง๐ค๐ฃ๐. They then continued to walk without so much as a whimper, another 10kms through the back routes of Mountain Drive. As they walked, they stooped to pick up bits of litter that unscrupulous humans had left on Mountain Drive, leaving the park as it should be.
On arrival back at school, everyone enjoyed a swim in our beautiful newly extended pool. The prefects then took over and everyone had lots of fun playing team building games before sharing lunch together.
Union extends its ๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐๐จ๐ ๐ง๐๐๐ก๐๐ฆ to Mrs Claire Lemke, who blazed the trail.
