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!

Hoe sitplekke jou staanplek in die lewe weerspieël.

Hoe sitplekke jou staanplek in die lewe weerspieël. - Kontroversieel - Sjoe! Wat ‘n dag was gister nie vir Hoër Meisieskool en die meisies van Paarl Gimnasium nie. Beide skole het mooi oorwinnings gehad en ‘n paar oog-toe-maak verlore. Ek gaan nie nou uitbrei oor die wedstryde, die atmosfeer of selfs die verversings nie. Daar gaan nog deur die dag vars berigte daaroor volg. Gister was daar te midde van die mooi en die kompetisie tog ‘n element wat nie anders kon as om te krap aan die wese van ‘n vrou nie, en dit is die sitplek. Ja, ek kan nie anders as om myself te vra hoe die beskikbaarheid van sitplek by vrouesporte, vroue se staanplek in die samelewing weerspieël nie? Gister is daar plofbare Netbal gespeel. Gim se spelers het hul harte uitgespeel en in baie gevalle so ‘n asemrowende vertoning op die baan gesit. Die meisies en ouers van Paarl Gim wou tog sekerlik hierdie vertoning in persoon kon besigtig, maar daar was nie plek nie. HMS se spelers moes aanpas en moedhou teen die aans

A last hurrah for Interschools 2023

A last hurrah for Interschools 2023! By Abigail Combrinck, Phia Heydenreich and Annemay Schade. With these parting words the writers and Editorial team of the Paarl Girls' High Interschools '23 Blog leave you. It was an absolute pleasure to report on the daily events, to get excited about games to come and reflect on the deeper meaning of Interschools for us. We thank our writers Isabella Groenewald, Chane van Zyl, Mira van Niekerk, Luca Yelverton, Hanah Malan, Karla Joubert and Mrs. Swart for making the blog possible this year. Please visit us again if you just want to relive a moment! Foto: EJ Lang When the high school gathered in front of the main building on Monday morning, all of our hearts were heavy. The feeling of anti-climax after such an exciting week is one of the worst feelings. Despite your tired body and burning throat, you wish you could relive the hustle and bustle of Interschool week. In the Interschools week, something new happens every day and every hour: and

‘n Buitengewone Spanbou: Hande vat met Samaritan's Feet

‘n Buitengewone Spanbou: Hande vat met Samaritan's Feet Deur Annemay Schade Interskole is daardie tyd van die jaar waar elke leerder se fokus op skooltrots gerig is en hul visie na die buitewêreld begrens is. Al wat jy lééf is jou skool, geesvang en die in dril van spelpatrone. Dit kom nooit eers in jou gedagtes dat jy jouself in lugbel bevind wat só ver verwyder is van ander se realiteit nie.  Die tweede hokkiespan van HMS het egter, en ek dink dit is ‘n eerste, ons spanbousessie gebruik om uit te reik na ander. Ons het hande gevat met Samaritan’s Feet.  Ons het eerder as klets en pizza eet, ons brose menslikheid ontdek deur, deur ons interskole wedstryd en liefde vir die sport, liefde aan ander te bewys. Ons is na die Ikamva Foundation in Mbekweni waar ons as deel van die Samaritan’s Feet Projek en Goals fo Life ‘n klein verskilletjie probeer maak het in die lewens van kinders wat in hierdie wintermaande nie die voorreg het om warm sokkies en skoene aan hul voete te dra nie.
