Women’s natural role is to be a pillar of the family,” said Grace Kelly. With this in mind, Riebeek College Girls’ High School established in 1877 with the aim of providing quality education for girls only; set about creating a day dedicated to women and their role in the family. Originally intended for 20 July as a Family Day with a focus on celebrating children for Mandela Day on 18 July, but rain and a cold front meant the event was postponed and what better day than Women’s Day to celebrate what empowerment a school like Riebeek engenders in girls and women of South Africa. Other goals are listed below focussing on families in the Uitenhage community getting to know each other, a sense of encouraging youngsters to participate in healthy past times and one day without devices and negative pressures, and a chance for the Riebeek community to get to know each other better as friends, families, teachers in a united group who celebrate the ties that bind rather than what divides.
Riebeek College will be hosting a Family Fun Festival on 9 August from 10am to 3pm. The entrance fee is R10 per guest but the event is free for Riebeek learners and children under 5 years old. The Riebeek family and the Nelson Mandela Bay community are invited to enjoy the play zones, jumping castles, horse rides, sport and games, netball, hockey, food trucks, tombola, white elephant stall, variety of stalls, face painting, hair braiding, photobooth, music, good company, laughter, relaxing, shopping, and the good food! A unique feature of this event is that each grade is involved in an aspect of the day involving learners, teachers and parents of that grade working together to create a fun day and getting to know each other better. Mrs Kieran Stear, principal of Riebeek College, said, “Our vision in planning this day was to create a sense of community among our parents, learners, teachers and those who live and work around us. In an increasing negative world, we wanted to have one day dedicated to fun and positive vibes. We are increasingly aware of a need to provide youngsters with alternatives to boredom, the cyber world, negative influences and to have one day dedicated to quality time with friends, teachers and, most importantly, family. We are so excited to see our learners with their families, to meet their brothers and sisters and to chat to their moms and dads informally in a fun, setting. We are looking forward to our girls meeting our families and seeing that we have more in common than what divides us. We are holding this event without any profits in mind but with a desire to spread some happiness and good memories. For one day, we would like to see our youth look up from their phones and to experience life in the moment filled with hope and an awareness of that which binds us together in a common humanity.”

NETBALL
Mrs Kruger reports on Family Netball: We would like to thank Mrs Jack for organising some Juniors and their parents for the first netball match on Family day. The girls showed the moms how to have fun on the netball court, but the moms with some extra experience were the winners for this match. The second match were seniors against juniors, with the seniors also showing the juniors their skills. It was a lovely morning in the sun, with families enjoying the matches. Thanks, Mrs Jack, for giving up your time and being a referee as well.
HOCKEY

Congratulations to the hockey team of staff and parents who beat the Riebeek girls team 3-0. Better luck next time, girls. Experience beat youth...this time.

We are dedicating this event to the memory of Nelson Mandela – as the 18th July is when citizens are asked to give 67 minutes of their time to their communities, so we are asking our girls to serve at the event in various roles and do duties to show their community spirit. We are holding this event without any profits in mind but with a desire to spread some happiness and good memories. For one day, we would like to see our youth look up from their phones and to experience life in the moment filled with hope and an awareness of that which binds us together in a common humanity.”
