The newly elected councillors for Jeppe High School for Girls were inducted on January 11.
“Councillors, together with the house captains and vice-house captains, play a very important role in building team spirit at Jeppe Girls, adding colour and vibrancy to the school with their skits, war cries and posters and the events they organise,” explained Carole Hemming, public relations officer for Jeppe Girls.
She said educators have minimal involvement in the organising of these events.
“Allowing the girls to plan and organise these events on their own give them the opportunity to learn. This encourages the girls to develop their management and leadership skills,” said Hemming.
Jeppe Girls 2019 councillors are Kasey Walters, Ntandoyenkosi Manana, Nonthando Moalusi, Zoey Cuerden, Jessica Bonthuys, Alexis Cuerden, Marlene Angwafor, Shannon Palmer, Lerato Gram, Monique Teixeira, Yusra Tayob, Amirah Joulay, Sinqobile Mbutho, Natasha Mwilambwe, Mbali Ncube, Kimberley January, Kirsten Dickinson, Kezia Reddy, Dina Gonçalves, Jenna Searle, Abigail Hartley, Mandisa Mpinga, Ashleigh Son, Melissa Nyalungu, Khwezi Zwane, Tshepiso Mogale, Lindokuhle Mhlanga, Laurah Meki, Ineeleng Moope and Talia McPherson.
