Matrics return to pre-school

Writer: Taylum Meyer.

A group of matric learners from Hermanus High School attended a small reunion at their pre-primary school, Babbel en Krabbel, on Thursday 10 October.

John Georgala put red and blue paint on his hand for multi-colour print.

The 24 learners graduated from the pre-primary school in 2007 and a special ceremony was held by Babbel en Krabbel’s principal, Lorna Such to celebrate the 12th anniversary of this important milestone in their school careers. What made the event even more special is the fact that it took place on the eve of these learners’ graduation from ‘big school’.

Teachers and parents joined in the festivities and hotdogs and juice awaited the learners, who each received a special note with a chocolate attached to it. After a brief speech by Lorna, the learners were asked to each make a handprint on a wall in either blue, red or yellow paint with their name signed next to it. They were the first of the school’s past pupils to do this and it is sure to become a tradition as the years go on.
