Leap into Excellence!
Our theme this year is to Leap into excellence and to exceed expectations! It is ALSO a leap year which means, one extra day of excellence. If we are the same and achieve the same as last year, then we haven’t excelled and then we are NO better than last year. My challenge to you is to be a BETTER version of yourself in 2024. You can do that by improving your academic results, cultural involvement, sporting involvement, Service involvement or by just spreading the Hermie Magic!
Ek hoop julle is almal goed uitgerus en reg vir 2024. Mag die voorspoed deel van julle allerdaagse verwagting wees en die uitdagings min. So gepraat van uitdagings…na ten minste 5 weke se vakansie, is dit so bietjie van ‘n aanpassing om weer by al die reëls aan te pas. Dis normaal, maar kry maar net jou kop reg, dis ‘n kopskuif…
..a mindset! Remember, we are a value driven school. The most important one is RESPECT…and you can honour our core value of RESPECT by displaying GOOD MANNERS. By always greeting people as you walk past them…with a smile on your dial, standing up when an adult walk past you, offering to help them carry their goods, no hands in your pockets, no inappropriate language, by saying thank you. And how do you honour and respect your school…by looking smart and behaving and talking in a way that will make all of us proud.
I AM very proud of all of you sitting here in front of me. So many of you have walked past me during the holidays and stopped and greeted me and even had a chat. That is part of displaying the HERMIE MaGiC. Well done. You have been great ambassadors of the school.
Good luck with the term ahead and make us all proud
Mr MJ Smuts
