Union High pupils rewarded at prize-giving
GRAAFF-REINET — Union High School hosted its annual prizegiving in the school hall on Friday, October 20.
The guest of honour, Elaine Stanley, who graciously presented the prizes to those being recognised, was introduced by Master-of-ceremonies, Rory Sullivan.
Stanley has two children, Lauren and Ross, who have matriculated at Union High, and is married to Arland who is Chairman of the Union High School Governing Body.
Arland Stanley presented his welcoming speech and reported on the activities of the Governing Body after which the Headmaster, William Pringle, presented his annual report.
It was a glittering occasion where the many achievements and triumphs, and those who simply work hard behind the scenes, throughout the year were recognised.
In addition, a number of Grade 12 learners who intend studying at tertiary institutions next year received bursaries for further studies.
A highlight of the evening was the announcement of the head prefects of the school for 2016.
The entire Union community was unanimous in their support for Cameron Muir (Headboy), Rebecca Langmead (Headgirl), Matt Harpur (Deputy Headboy) and Kelly Rose-innes (Deputy Headgirl).
