Fun first few weeks of high school
The first term of high school for the grade eights was filled with many memorable moments. They got the chance to have fun getting to know the new life that lies ahead. We interviewed some of the grade eights to ask them:
1. Is high school better than senior primary, and why?
2. How's your experience at high school been so far?
Isabella De Witt said: "I think high school is better than senior primary, since you can choose most of your subjects so you have a better understanding of what you want to do after school. In high school, you have to work more independently, which prepares you for after graduation. My experience in high school is very enjoyable - yet stressful - so far. For instance, the grade eight orientation was lots of fun, but the schoolwork is a lot more this year".
Pomwene Nghikembua mentioned: "I would say that high school is better in terms of the opportunities they provide - not just in academics, but sports and culture too. Such as different olympiads that you can participate in, sports tours, drama clubs, etc. It gives learners the opportunity to take part in some things that they may not have been able to, if it comes to qualifications, which allows people step out of their comfort zones. And, the learners here are a lot nicer than I expected".
Samuela Ntobe added: "I think high school is a great place to learn about life; how to manage your own time and learn how to deal with situations on your own. I would say that senior primary is more fun than high school, but high school is very important since it teaches us how to become a better person when we are older".
McKayla Regue said: "It’s way better in high school because you can get so many more opportunities in academics, sport and culture. You can still enjoy life by meeting new friends and teachers. My experience in high school so far is so much fun and I can’t wait for the upcoming school events!"
It’s evident that most of the Gommies are enjoying high school so far, saying it is far better than senior primary school experiences! Let's hope they can keep the positive energy throughout the year, and for the years to come.
