“I am sure many Jeppe girls would agree with me in saying that the 20th of June marked a day of pride, celebration and unity that will not easily be forgotten. Nelson Mandela once said:”We can change the word and make it a better place; it’s in your hands to make a difference”. We embraced this spirit and celebrated South Africa’s 20 years of democracy in the most diverse way possible.“ Michaela Mendes 11A.
Each girl designed her own white T-shirt with black artwork depicting what democracy means to her. The T-shirts were worn to school on 20th June. After lessons, a special assembly was held. The girls and staff expressed their joy in music, together with the choir and marimba band. The assembly ended with the National Anthem. Everyone then moved to the Sports grounds to enjoy a picnic. There the Councillors initiated a Colour Festival, celebrating our increasingly diverse rainbow nation with an explosion of our flag colours. The day proved to be a vivid reminder of the hope afforded to each member of our rainbow nation. In the evening, the school staged another performance of the play Tsholofelo – the Story of Hope. The play reminded us that the hope for our tomorrow is the peace that comes from affording every human being the dignity they deserve. (Dina Gonçalves, Head Mistress).
