Parents and Grade 8 learners at Rand Park High School took part in a candle-lighting ceremony as part of the learners’ inauguration and welcoming to the school.
Each candle that was lit at the ceremony symbolised and illustrated the beginning of each learner’s high school career.
The event was part of a week-long orientation for the new learners.
The Grade 12 leaders and the grade tutors guided and orientated the Grade 8s as they familiarised themselves with the school’s academic programme and extra-curricular activities.
The programme consisted of school tours, fun-filled games, war-cries, meeting the educators and making new friends.
The Grade 8 learners also presented their Grade 8 song to their parents that had been written by the leaders.
“This Grade 8 inauguration event has become a popular tradition at Rand Park High School,” said Alan Wilke, principal of Rand Park High School.
“We are very pleased to welcome the Grade 8s and their families. We wish them happiness and success during their high school years with us.”
