The Grade 12s gathered again in the evening where local business-people spoke from the heart about life after school.

Mr Kallie Venter gifted the grade with a fascinating talk on Memory Pegs; Dawid and Karlien de Wet enlightened the group about the highs and lows of entrepreneurship; Mr Gerrar Maya gave a frank and amusing talk on becoming a chartered accountant and it was lovely to have Mr Hannes Lombard back at Union as he informed the grade about his journey into the insurance world.

Everyone enjoyed a convivial meal afterwards and worked as a team assisting Mrs Bronwen Langmead with the meal which was graciously cooked by our boarding house staff.
