This term, the Jeppe community showed what it truly means to give 💛

Week after week, our learners with the incredible support of their families, came together to make a difference. From our Grade 8s starting their Jeppe journey with generosity (and the sweetest notes), to our Grade 9s and 10s consistently showing up and giving with heart, every contribution mattered.

Our Matrics led by example, reminding us that giving is a legacy… and our Grade 11s ended the term on a high with an incredible 719 sandwiches 👏

In total, a remarkable 4,516 sandwiches were donated this term.

This is a remarkable achievement and a testament to your skill, dedication and consistent performance on court. Your hard work has earned you this opportunity, and we are incredibly proud to see you represent both your school and province at this level.

Wishing you all the very best for the trials, may you play with confidence, determination and pride. The Jeppe community is behind you every step of the way.

Today, on Human Rights Day, we are reminded of the power of standing together, speaking up, and creating a world where everyone is treated with fairness and respect.

At Jeppe Girls, we are proud to nurture young women who use their voices with purpose, stand up for what is right, and uplift those around them.

May we continue to honour the rights of all, embrace our diversity, and build a future rooted in empathy, strength, and unity.

Yesterday it was our Grade 8s’ turn to show their #JeppeSpirit of giving through our Sandwich Drive, preparing an incredible 508 sandwiches. Many of these were accompanied by little notes from dad jokes and words of encouragement to sweet sentiments, small touches that remind us how powerful kindness can be. We are certain these sandwiches brightened the day of those who received them and once again highlighted the generous spirit of a Jeppe Girl.

A heartfelt thank you to our Grade 8 learners and their families for embracing this initiative with such enthusiasm and care. Your generosity continues to make a meaningful difference.

92% – 7th Year Platinum 2 Award Achieved

We are proud to share that Jeppe High School for Girls achieved 92% for our 2025 Eco-Schools Portfolio submission, earning our 7th Year Platinum 2 Award through the WESSA Eco-Schools Programme.

The award was handed over at a gala ceremony on 27th February by WESSA CEO Ms. Cindy Cloete and Ms. Dululu Hlatshaneni (Deputy Director: Social Cohesion and Equity Education for DBE) to Mrs Bosch and Muskaan Mahamud.

Muskaan was invited to report on the ceremony as a Matric YRE (Young Reporter for the Environment) learner, and her article will be appearing in the next WESSA Newsletter and on their social media platforms.

The award reflects seven years of sustained, learner-driven environmental leadership within a South African government school context — achieved despite significant public education budget constraints and the fact that Eco-Schools remains a voluntary, extramural initiative.

Our learners continue to demonstrate that environmental education is not an “add-on,” but a powerful platform for leadership development, climate action and sustainability, community engagement, critical thinking, problem-solving and responsible citizenship.

This achievement is the result of committed Green Representatives, dedicated educators and the entire Jeppe Community who believe in investing in environmental education and young women’s empowerment.

As we now enter our 8th year of Eco-Schools, we remain focused on expanding sustainable infrastructure, strengthening climate resilience, and deepening learner-led impact.

A heartfelt thank you to every learner, educator, parent, and supporter who continues to contribute to this journey. The work continues — and so does JHSG’s commitment to shaping courageous, compassionate environmental leaders for the future.

A heartfelt thank you to all the learners who have

A heartfelt thank you to all the learners who have been crocheting so enthusiastically to help us reach our 670 Blanket Challenge target. We are incredibly grateful for the beautiful blankets being brought in, each one a tangible act of kindness and care that will bring warmth and comfort to someone in need.

A special mention must go to Rebecca Scott for taking on our challenge and donating an incredible 20 blankets. Her contribution, hot on the heels of our reigning Crochet Queen, Ms Pearson, has made a remarkable impact. Your dedication and generosity truly inspire us all.

If you haven’t joined in yet, there is still time. Every square, every stitch and every blanket makes a difference. Pick up your hook, grab some wool, and help us continue this wonderful act of giving as we work together to reach our target.

A massive thank you to our Matrics, and an extra special thank you to their families for rolling up their sleeves and giving so generously.

We thought the bar had already been set high, but they proved it could be raised even further, donating an incredible 838 sandwiches.

While we celebrate this as the largest contribution of the year so far, what makes it even more meaningful is the spirit behind it.

Through their generosity, a primary school child may not only receive a meal for the day, but perhaps something to take home and share with a sibling or family member.

In this way, the act of giving continues, passed from one person to another, reminding us that kindness has a ripple effect that extends far beyond a single gesture.

Yesterday we hosted our Cultural Assembly, highlighting the many cultural activities available at the school through moving performances, demonstrations and heartfelt testimonies from learners already involved.

The assembly offered a wonderful opportunity not only to showcase the various cultural codes on offer, but also to guide our Grade 8s as they begin to explore where their interests and talents may lie, encouraging them to truly find their place within the rich cultural life of the school.

A special thank you to Ms Jarvis for curating such a powerful and goosebump-inducing assembly that reminded us of the creativity, passion and talent within our Jeppe sisterhood.
