On 27 June, we gathered to celebrate and honour Mr Rob Aitchison , a man whose dedication, vision, and passion have left an enduring mark on our school community.

Mr Aitchison has played a key role in numerous transformative projects at Jeppe, including the development of the Media/STEM Centre, the opening of Somerset House (our boarding facility), the installation of solar panels, and many other initiatives that have advanced the school’s infrastructure and innovation. He has been a driving force behind these achievements, always championing progress with unwavering commitment.

Having first joined the Jeppe family as a parent, Mr Aitchison became an active member of the Parents’ Association (PA), contributing meaningfully to school events such as the Matric Dance, MA Dance, and other community-building activities. The PA is now led by his sister, Mrs Michelle Smith, who continues the family’s legacy of service.

In recognition of his extraordinary contributions, Mr Aitchison was honoured with a commemorative bench and plaque engraved with the name "Aitchison" , a lasting tribute to a name that has become synonymous with dedication and generosity at Jeppe.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Mr Aitchison and the Aitchison family for their years of support, love, and unwavering commitment. Their impact will continue to be felt for generations to come.

Youth Month Celebrations in Full Swing

To mark Youth Month in a fun and nostalgic way, our amazing teachers stepped back in time proudly donning their very own school uniforms. They hosted a vibrant Cake & Candy Sale, showing our learners how it's done. From sweet stacks of pancakes to savoury snacks, hearty soups and spicy samoosa's, our learners were absolutely spoiled for choice with a delicious spread that had something for every craving.

It was a day filled with smiles, treats, and a wonderful sense of Jeppe spirit. Thank you to our teachers for bringing the energy and making this celebration so special.

In a nod to F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby

In a nod to F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, the Matric Dance committee surprised the matrics with a dazzling setup and official invites to this year's dance. The decor perfectly captured the opulence and glamour of the Roaring Twenties, giving the students a glimpse of the magic that awaited them – a night of old-school charm that promises to be the epitome of lavishness.

Winter has truly settled in, bringing with it a growing need for warmth, comfort, and kindness in our community. As we approach the winter holidays, everyone is encouraged to keep those crochet hooks moving and continue creating beautiful blankets and scarves. Our Crochet Drive is still going strong, and every handmade piece is a gesture of care. Let’s keep wrapping our community in love—one thoughtful stitch at a time.

This combined 'get' and 'give' programme brings together the best of MySchool and WRewards – and so much more!

This is more than just an average loyalty programme – it’s a first-of-its-kind, powered by customer choice, making giving back more personal, meaningful, and impactful than ever before.

MyDifference gives members the ability to choose the causes they care about most and see the direct impact of their support. As part of the new MyDifference programme, beneficiary selection will now be found under the 'My Causes' section on the Woolies app.

All the necessary information on selecting Jeppe High School for Girls as your preferred cause will be shared once the process is complete. Not to worry though, all your swipes during the transition period will still be allocated to the school provided we are your current beneficiary.

We are excited to see support turn to action, deepening engagement, increasing visibility, and ultimately making an even greater impact to our school.

What an exciting experience for two of our music t

What an exciting experience for two of our music teachers to take part in the World Symphony Series with the Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra at the Linder Auditorium last night. The programme included magnificent works by Beethoven and was conducted by world-renowned South African conductor – Conrad van Alphen. With Beethoven’s 6th symphony being a prescribed work for Grade 12, it was an inspiring opportunity to enhance their musical knowledge and appreciation. Our Grade 12 learners were fortunate enough to attend the final rehearsal in the morning, and some Grade 11 learners attended the concert in the evening.

At our first assembly following the exams, we were

At our first assembly following the exams, we were honoured to welcome Mr. Madzadzi from Masiqhakaze Secondary School, who delivered an inspiring and memorable message to our learners. With wisdom and warmth, he shared the powerful S.U.C.C.E.S.S. formula, a guide to achieving both personal and academic excellence.

To strive for success, Mr. Madzadzi encouraged us to embrace the following principles:
• S – Solve problems with a positive attitude
• U– Unleash your unlimited potential
• C – Cultivate creativity in all aspects of your life
• C – Care for others and practice empathy
• E – Exude energy and enthusiasm in everything you do
• S – Share your experiences and knowledge generously
• S – Sacrifice when necessary to reach your goals

His message served as a powerful reminder that success is not only about achievement, but also about attitude, compassion, and purpose. Our learners left the assembly feeling motivated and empowered to apply this formula in our lives, both inside and beyond the classroom.

We are proud to be home to a vibrant community of inquisitive young minds destined to shape the future. This Youth Day, we honour the strength, resilience, and spirit of our past, present, and future learners.

As we commemorate 49 years since the Soweto Uprising, we reflect on the courage of the youth who stood up for justice and equality. Their bravery paved the way for generations to come, for learners who continue to shine in academics, sport, and the cultural arts.

Youth Day is more than a history lesson it’s a call to reflect, and act. It’s a powerful reminder of the ability of young people to drive transformation and lead with purpose. Today, we’re inspired to support and empower the youth of South Africa as they build a brighter, more equal tomorrow.

Let’s use this day to have meaningful conversations about human rights, leadership, and courage and to recommit to creating safe, supportive spaces where every young person can thrive.

Although World Environment Day was observed yesterday, 5 June 2025, under the global theme "Beat Plastic Pollution," the need for action continues every day.

Organisations like WESSA, Greenpeace, and UNEP have emphasised the urgent issue of plastic waste and its harmful effects on our environment, ecosystems, and health.

At Jeppe High School for Girls, a proud Eco-School (Platinum 2, Year 7), we remain committed to environmental responsibility beyond just one day.

Through initiatives like our #NoBalloons Policy, Plastic Bottle Tops and Bread Tag Collections, Eco-Bricks, and our ongoing #AntiLitterCampaign, we encourage the entire Jeppe Community to reduce waste, especially plastic, and adopt sustainable waste management practices. Let’s continue to work together to protect the planet and ensure a healthier, cleaner future for generations to come.

To our very own lovely Fair Lady — Carolyn Steyn

To our very own lovely Fair Lady — Carolyn Steyn,

On your special day, we celebrate the kindest, truest heart — a woman whose love for Jeppe Girls High School runs deep, and whose unwavering belief in the power of educating girls changes lives.

You are not only a Jeppe Old Girl we are proud of, but a champion for every girl who walks through our gates. From concert halls to theatre stages, from warm blankets to well-resourced classrooms — your generosity touches every corner of our school life. You give our girls experiences that open minds, builds confidence and sparks joy.

Thank you for the JPO concert tickets, the theatre outings, the wool for 67 Blankets, the support of our infrastructure, and — most importantly — for your constant presence and care. Your regular visits and check-ins remind us that we are part of something bigger, a sisterhood rooted in love, support, and legacy.

Carolyn, we salute you. We love you. We honour you.
We are forever grateful.

Happy, happy birthday — from all of us at Jeppe Girls.
