At Union High School, Graaff-Reinet’s Academic Awards Assembly on Friday morning, 20 January, the sought-after 𝗪𝗛𝗜𝗧𝗘 𝗕𝗟𝗔𝗭𝗘𝗥 was presented to Union’s 2023 Head Girl, Caitrin Spence.
The blazer was presented to her in recognition of her well-deserved Honours Award. (𝘈𝘯 𝘏𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴 𝘈𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴.)

It is no small feat to reach this level of academic achievement. Caitrin, however, brings the goal of excellence to all her endeavours, and while she’s involved in all aspects of life at Union, she demonstrates an unwavering focus on her studies in particular, which has allowed her to reach this level of success.
Caitrin becomes the 5th Unionite to receive this award since its inception in 2004 when it was awarded for the very first time to Carl Bezuidenhout. Since then, the three other Unionites who have enjoyed the privilege of donning the white blazer, consists of Sulette Damons (Class of 2007), Kelsey Minnaar (Class of 2016) and Lynne Mugglestone (Class of 2007).

On Friday , 21 October, we hosted our annual Senior and Junior Prizegiving ceremonies in the school hall.
These special occasions provide a space for us to reflect and celebrate the school year and all the learners who have put in the hard yards in academics, culture and sports – the learners who have persevered against all odds, shown courage and built character while facing their personal challenges head on.

This past summer, we were thrilled to be able to get back out on the field and dive back into the pool.
Our special 𝗦𝗨𝗠𝗠𝗘𝗥 𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗦 𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗘𝗠𝗕𝗟𝗬 that was held this morning, Friday, 8 April, was, therefore, the perfect opportunity to revel in our learners’ achievements in the various summer sporting codes.
On top of that, we were also able to award Full Colour awards for Music and Culture and Service Awards to our Library Monitors and SANBS Peer Promoters.

Union High School held its annual prizegiving ceremony for its Primary Department (Grade 5 to 7 learners) on Wednesday morning, 20 October.
The event is one of the most important days in the school’s calendar which is long-awaited by everyone – educators and learners alike.
Before learners were presented with different awards as per their performance and achievement, they were addressed by the departmental head of the Primary Department, Mrs Evette Cloete.
In her address, Mrs Cloete emphasized that the prizegiving ceremony is a significant moment in which to celebrate the assiduousness and hard work of the learners across all subjects and extra-mural activities.
“The school’s annual prize-giving ceremony is that moment of the year in which we recognise our top achievers as well as encouraging others to take their studies seriously, so that next year they could be counted amongst outstanding learners”, said Mrs Cloete.
The event also featured delightful performances by two of the primary department’s pianists, Taegen Hamid and Katelyn Trollip.
Then came the moment that everyone had been waiting for – the presentation of awards.
Although the ceremony saw numerous awards presented to learners across all subjects and grades, the climax of the event was the presentation of the Old Unionite Shield for the Dux learner which was this year awarded to Grade 7 learner, Katelyn Trollip, who received a big round of applause from her peers and all present in the hall.
It is our firm hope that the time following the prizegiving ceremony will be well-spent by learners and educators alike, as they conclude the year’s work.
