Girls' High get outta your mind!!!!

 Girls’ High! Get outta your mind!

Isabella Groenewald

Geesweek started off like the Girls’ High, get outta your mind hype song, soft and quiet, on photo day with poster making. 

The second time going through the song, the anticipation for the chaos and fun waiting in the last verse increases. Similarly, the second day of geesweek had an indescribable buzz going through our school halls (as well as Abi with her speaker) with the Anything, but a schoolbag day. People were pointing and bursting with laughter at fish nets or 50-litre cooler boxes. 


The third time singing Girls’ High, get outta your mind, the tempo speeds up, and everyone starts getting hyped. Entire face paint and glitter containers were used on Wednesday’s greenlight for face decorations. Juffrou Bosch had her first chance back on the netball court since matric in the high spirits of the teachers’ netball match!


The fourth time singing, you have to restrain yourself from shouting the words fully and to wait for the anticipated final verse. Thursday’s funky hair day resulted in the loss of many hairbands, lots of newly discovered hairstyles and great laughs! Sophia’s rap at break’s karaoke made everyone want to jump up and grab their own mike!

Tomorrow is Jade’s birthday and the last school day before interschools week! I can’t wait to go to school tomorrow and see green, white and jade everywhere. More pressingly, I can’t wait to see the green, white and jade on the sports fields and sing the final verse of Girls’ High, get outta your mind!


By looking at this past week and the gees we’ve been experiencing, I’d say we’re set up for a thrilling interschools week! This will be the loudest Girls’ High, get outta your mind yet!

Kom-kom, kom staan nader. Laat ons bietjie hokkie praat!

  Kom-kom, kom staan nader. Laat ons bietjie hokkie praat! Sjoe! Ek is opgewonde oor die o.18 A hokkiewedstryd. ‘n Jong span en ‘n nuwe jaar. Hulle ken nie vrees nie en hulle speel vir mekaar. Dit is wat almal sê van hierdie spannetjie. Hierdie spannetjie het ‘n goeie jaar gehad en hulle moes deurgaans vegtersgees wys vanaf hul toernooi vroeër vanjaar by St Mary’s in Pretoria. In elke wedstryd teen elke top gerangeerde span het hulle ons verras. Hulle kan nie in ‘n blik gedruk word nie.  Kom ons wees eerlik dat in die Paarl wil mense graag HMS hokkie in ‘n blik druk en ons weet dat die volgende twee dae se hokkie wedstryde ‘n Dawid en Goliat storie is. Dit is ‘n geval van “we see your one Astro and we raise you two.” Geen oorwinning gaan vir ons gegee word nie. Die oorwinning wat ons o.18 A’s vroeër vanjaar oor Gim gekry het, is ‘n gelukkige herinnering om te hê, maar dit kan op ons boemerang. Ons sit nou met die spreekwoordelike gekwesde bul wat reg is vir ons en ons graag sa...

Interview with Kyla Dames, the first team netball captain:

  Interview with Kyla Dames, the first team netball captain:  by Karla Joubert Some describe her as the best player they have seen in a long time. Others say she plays effortlessly and it is as if she simply plucks the ball out of the air. Where others rush she simply moves with time distributing the ball to all her teammates. She is of course Kyla Dames.  We asked Kyla some questions that we are sure our readers are burning to know, as well as offering some of her advice and expectations for what lies ahead regarding the upcoming interschools game.  Karla : What role do you play as captain? Kyla : I don't feel as if I play a specific role. I rather offer support to my team and try to bring out the best in them.  Karla : What makes netball such a special sport to you ? Kyla : Netball is very special. The sport itself is really amazing and a good netball game is definitely one of the best games to watch. Netbal allowed me to meet so many people and form some of m...

Ode to our Matrics of '23 - The Final Countdown

Ode to our Matrics of '23 - The Final Countdown   by Hannah Malan As the Matrics are approaching the final countdown of their high school years, they are grabbing the bull by the horns by taking every opportunity that comes their way. A group of friends created a netball team on the first of August to play Interschools on the fourth of August. Most of the team had not played netball since primary school and joined the team for the fun of it. They asked one of their friends, who unfortunately cannot play netball anymore, to coach their last-minute team. Zemke Lombard coached one practice before the team was ready to play. The team played with enthusiasm and passion a week after they were formed. They achieved a surprisingly near loss against the Paarl Gymnasium u.19D team. There are many Matrics who partook in both netball and hockey this year to experience the full Interschools feeling for the last time. The countdown on their final year of high school keeps ticking yet they are fi...
