"Riebeek College is a place where teachers encouraged us to break the status quo and define ourselves as we choose"–Adapted from High School Musical 3. Even though the theme for Induction party this year was American High school and the cliques in it, at Riebeek we believe that we all can be who we are and be it proudly. The day was filled with so much laughter, joy, and fun. The atmosphere right from start with the setting up during the breaks, could be felt by everyone in the hall, with the buzz of excitement and lovely music adding to it. The committees truly put a great effort into their tables and their outfits and everyone from the video gamers to the the art kids and everyone in between all looked magnificent! The teachers looked absolutely splendid in their uniforms as they all joined the festivities by dressing up as school pupils. Songs from High School Musical were played throughout the event which awoke the pre-teen in everybody's hearts and of course everyone sang their hearts out. Amazing food, amazing music and amazing committees all called for an amazing afternoon. The amount of cheering for the new committee members were testimony to how Riebeek ladies celebrate each other's success. The photo booths, cafeteria and "graffiti board" were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who attended. Seeing as it was the matrics last induction it was only fitting that they and the rest of the ladies attending the party, sang the song I Gotta Go my Own Way, and we wish them all the best in the world and thank them for all that they have done for the Cultural Activities of the school. The Best Spirit Award went to the Grade 8 waitresses. Best Decor was awarded to the Media Club and Best Dressed went to SPCA. Congratulations to the new committees, and may the next year be a prosperous , enjoyable and lovely year. Special mention to Mrs Stark, Miss Hattingh, and Mrs Gerber for all they did behind the scenes to make the day such an extraordinary one. Thank you Amy Schambril, her supportive and kind family, her team of helpers and Miss Hattingh, for a wonderful High School themed Cultural Party!. Last week, Monique Balie and her team held a great leadership seminar. In two weeks, Casey Els and her team hold a cultural assembly. Sinovuyo Madlavu, Omhle Bissett and the Cultural Board have had a great and organised term of office and a busy term 3. Amy's words of thanks: Thank you to Mrs Stear, you don’t hear of many schools that have such fun events like this one or like any of our events on our Cultural calendar so thank you for allowing us to do it. Thank you to Cultural Board and MCs. Thank you to the lunch ladies. Special thank you to Busi Setlai for being my go to girl and also to my friends for always helping me and keeping me sane. A big thank you to my parents for all they did to make this day possible and for staying up all those nights to help me with PowerPoints and drawing posters . Thank you Mr Reynolds and his team for arranging the chairs and tables. To Mrs Stark for always giving a spark to my ideas and Mrs Gerber for all her suggestions, help and dedication to the Cultural Board, making it the smooth running machine that it is. Thank you so immensely much to Miss Hattingh, without your guidance I'd probably be standing here having withstood 5 meltdowns, luckily it was only two(kidding) . And to everyone who offered help even if it was just the smallest thing and of course to everyone who attended and made today so lovely! Thank you.
I want to leave you with this quote "All of you people, there is a big world out there... bigger than prom, bigger than high school and it won't matter if you were the prom queen, the quarterback of the football team, or the biggest nerd in school. Find out who you are and try not to be afraid of it”. So even though today was about cliques, I want you all to know that each and every one are you are perfect and unique just the way you are.
