The Girls’ High Bomb

 The Girls’ High Bomb

We took the pressure and we threw it away when we celebrated our teams and upcoming Interschools win at our annual Big Brag and Prefect hall. The teams were shown off at the Big Brag so we know which faces are taking the big win this year along with a song of their choosing to relax the nerves building for the upcoming events. The Boys In Blue showed their support for our teams, wishing us luck with the upcoming games and congratulating us on the games already played.

Sportsman’s Warehouse, the main sponsor of Interschools, further lifted spirits by giving out “freebies” bringing life in the early morning. Supporters sent videos to Girls’ High to show their support and let the girls know who has their back in the upcoming games. The event brought laughter along with tears to the speeches from the first teams’ captains. Excitement for Fridays’ events was seen on many faces along with a bittersweet feeling for the matrics having their last Big Brag, Prefect Hall and Interschools. The leaders held their last “Prefect hall”  and to say it was memorable is an understatement. The leaders constantly had us on our feet about what was to come with hilarious videos by the GK and the teachers. Too much of “Prefect Hall” cannot be revealed, as the saying goes “You had to be there”. I am sure many matrics were left with a heavy heart, but a heavy heart is a heart filled with memories and love. This “half-day” lifted everyone's spirits and got the “Gees” high for Interschools 2023.

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.
