Streepbaadjies – Hoërskool Ermelo het op 24 Oktober hulle jaarlikse seremonie gehou. Dit is waar die trotse graad 11’s hul streepbaadjies ontvang het.
Hierdie spesiale funksie behels die oorhandiging van EHS se kenmerkende streepbaadjies aan volgende jaar se matrieks. Hulle antwoord op ‘n erekode en gaan staan op die verhoog. Die ouers kry dan die geleentheid om die gewone groen baadjie te vervang met die besondere streepbaadjie.
Die simboliese waarde van hierdie streepbaadjies is iets wat die Erries na aan die hart lê. Dit dui aan dat jy as graad 12-leerder deel is van die leiers van die EHS. Jy moet ook ‘n voorbeeld stel vir dié wat na jou moet opkyk.
Na die oorhandiging van die streepbaadjies, is die Skoolbybel oorhandig aan die hoofdogter vir 2023, Mienke Cloete. Dit dien as simbool van geloof met die wens: “Glo in God en glo in die toekoms. Neem dit as ‘n lig vir jou pad – ook vir die Erries.”
Die skoolvlag is oorhandig aan die hoofseun vir 2023, Johan Strauss. Dit dien as simbool van eenheid – eenheid in wil en eenheid in strewe. Die wens wat gepaardgaan met dié vlag, is: “Neem dit en bou ‘n beter toekoms vir ons skool en ons land.”
Mag die matrieks van 2023 die waarde en tradisie van die streepbaadjies ter harte neem en leiers wees, waar hul pad ookal heen mag lei.

Striped Jacket
Ermelo High School held their annual ceremony on October 24. This is where the proud Grade 11s received their striped jackets.
This special function involves handing over EHS’s signature striped jackets to next year’s matrics. They replied to a code of honor and stood on stage. The parents are then given the opportunity to replace the plain green jacket with the particular striped jacket.
The symbolic value of these striped jackets is something that is close to the Erries’ heart. This indicates that as a Grade 12 learner you are part of the leaders of the EHS. You should also set an example for those who should look up to you.
After the handing over of the striped jackets, the School Bible was handed over to the head girl for 2023, Mienke Cloete. It serves as a symbol of faith with the wish: “Believe in God and believe in the future. Take it as a light for your path — for the Erries, too.”
The school flag was handed over to the head boy for 2023, Johan Strauss. It serves as a symbol of unity – unity in will and unity in endeavour. The wish that accompanies this flag is: “Take it and build a better future for our school and our country.”
May the matrics of 2023 take to heart the value and tradition of the striped jackets and be leaders, wherever their path may lead.
