Liefdesroete 2010

HMS bied met trots hul jaarlikse Liefdesroete op 10 en 11 Februarie in die Paarl aan. Besoekers word op ‘n romantiese reis verby voorafbeplande punte na hul eindbestemming teen die hange van die majestieuse Paarlberg gelei.

The creative parents of GHS, along with various interior decorating businesses in Paarl, worked together to provide a unique element of interior design to every visiting point on the Love Route.  We wish to create awareness as well as promote this creative field as a possible future career opportunity amongst learners.  Verskeie kuns-, kos- en speletjiestalletjies sal op die sportveld beskikbaar wees.

HMS Muntlegging

HMS se leerders het in Desember 'n muntlegging gehou, waarna die fondse ingesamel aan 'n gemeenskapsprojek geskenk is.

On 18 October 2008 the Sunday Times published numerous articles concerning public schools. GHS is very proud to once again be mentioned as one of the top 10 schools in the Western Cape.

THE Sunday Times commissioned the University of the Witwatersrand’s visiting researcher Helen Perry to identify the Top 100 government schools in the country.

The matrics of 2008, on which the survey is based, are the first graduates of the new curriculum introduced in stages 12 years ago. Schools with 50 or more pupils were considered for the survey.

The index considers academic achievement and is calculated by combining these five factors:

■ Matric pass rate;

■ Percentage of pupils with a university entrance pass;

■ The average number of A symbols;

■ The number of maths candidates achieving over 50%, as a percentage of all candidates at the school;

■ The number of science candidates achieving over 50%, as a percentage of all candidates at the school.

The Sunday Times has revived the Top 100 schools project, last undertaken by the newspaper 10 years ago, to give its readers the information necessary to make “the single most important decision parents will make — where to educate their children”, said Sunday Times editor Mondli Makhanya.

“We also want to celebrate schools that have achieved excellence, demonstrate why they performed so well, and highlight the top schools as role models for others to learn from,” he said.
