Jeppe High School for Girls recently elected new councillors who were inducted on January 13.

“Councillors, together with the house captains and vice house captains, play an important role in building team spirit at Jeppe Girls, adding colour and vibrancy to the school with their skits, war cries, posters and the events they organise,” said Ms Carole Heming

Some of the events which are organised are the Grade 8 welcome party to the inter-house gala.

Ms Heming said educators have minimal involvement in the organisation of these events, which encourages the girls to develop their management and leadership skills.
