After a very challenging academic year which saw them missing months of school, sports meets and other traditional matric functions and celebrations, Hermanus High School’s class of 2020 was finally able to enjoy their matric farewell on Thursday 22 October at the Hermanus Waterfront.

Approximately 130 Grade 12 learners attended but were not allowed to bring outside partners due to Covid-19 protocols. All decked out for the occasion, the couples met at the war memorial above the Old Harbour before walking or driving the short distance to the Village Square in fancy cars. Making their way onto the red carpet, they were photographed and filmed for the school’s Facebook page before having their formal photo taken in the yellow frame, which had been specially decorated for the occasion.
