Errie Graad 8’s. Na ’n besige week het die Errie-graad 8’s ’n spesiale geleentheid bygewoon op Vrydagaand. Hier het elke graad 8 die pligte en erekode van ’n Errie-Passasier onderteken. Daarna is elkeen se skoolbaadjie vir hom/haar aangetrek deur ’n graad 12-leerder as teken van volwaardige Errie-wees.

Op Satedagoggend, 14 Januarie was dit die graad 8-ouers se beurt om die EHS-baadjies vir hul kinders aan te trek. Die trots wat met die dra van die groen baadjie gepaard gaan, is dieper as net kleredrag – dit is ’n passievolle deelwees van die groen massa!

Erries se tema vir 2023 se graad 8’s: “Passasiers tot Vlieëniers”, het ’n spesiale betekenis. Die graad 8’s begin die onbekende hoërskool-reis as passasiers. Hulle word genavigeer en gelei deur die graad 12-vlieëniers wat hul dra deur stormagtige tye. “It won’t always be easy, but in five years’ time, they will have the confidence to be their own pilot and navigate the lives of others.” Mienke Cloete.

“Baie welkom aan elke graad 8 wat nou ’n volwaardige Errie is! EHS is trots om julle as deel van die skool te hê en wens julle voorspoed toe vir die reis wat voorlê. Mag jy groot hoogtes bereik en ontwikkel tot die beste vlieënier wat jy kan wees!”

Errie Grade 8s

After a busy week, the Errie Grade 8s attended a special event on Friday evening. Each Grade 8 signed the duties and code of honour of an Errie Passenger. After that, everyone’s school jacket was donned for him/her by a Grade 12 learner as a sign of being a fully-fledged Errie.

On Saturday morning, January 14, it was the Grade 8 parents’ turn to don the EHS jackets for their children. The pride that comes with wearing the green jacket is deeper than just dress — it’s a passionate part of the green mass!

The theme for 2023’s Grade 8s: “Passengers to Pilots”, has a special meaning: the Grade 8s begin the unknown high school journey as passengers and are navigated and guided by the Grade 12 pilots who carry them through stormy times. “It won’t always be easy, but in five years’ time, they will have the confidence to be their own pilot and navigate the lives of others.” Mienke Cloete.

“Welcome to every Grade 8 who is now a fully-fledged Errie! EHS is proud to have you as part of the school and wishes you well for the journey ahead. May you reach great heights and develop into the best pilot you can be!”
