Girls High Reunion Media August 2008

We are searching for all Girls' High Alma Mater and teachers

The ball has been set rolling this past week to hold a BIG reunion for all Girls' High ex-students and teachers on 2-4 October 2009 in Oudtshoorn. This was the result of a gathering of 15 "Old Girls' Highers" at the CP Nel Museum to lay a foundation to the project to display the history of this exceptional school. The excitement bubbled over and this reunion has been planned, hopefully to coincide with the official opening of the exhibition at the CP Nel Museum.

Hazel (Gibson) Jonker is taking the lead with this project and she requests that all ladies who attended the Girls' High School (they did not necessarily have had to have matriculated there) make contact with the persons listed below in order that a list of contact numbers and addresses can be compiled. Anyone who knows of ex-students of Girls' High School, please make contact with one of the individuals listed below.

Girls' High Reunion Media July 2008

For many years the history of Boys' High School in Oudtshoorn has been beautifully exhibited in the CP Nel Museum and has been visited by many ex-students. Unfortunately the same cannot be said of Girls' High. Negotiations have started with Sandra Smit of the CP Nel Museum to obtain exhibition space in order to do right by this exceptional educational institution which played such a large role in Oudtshoorn's history.

The main force behind this project is Hazel (Gibson) Jonker. She plans to bring a committee into being to manage this project. They are also planning to have a reunion in 2009.

She requests that all ex-students, teachers and other interested parties contact her. They are in particular searching for items which can be exhibited in the museum. Clothes, books, trophees, photos, memorable annecdotes and any other contributions will be highly valued.

Hazel can be contacted at 082 651 8037 or hazel@opsa.co.za
If you know of any children or grandchildren who can contribute in any way - you can also contact Hazel. All interested parties are invited to an informal meeting to discuss the project.
