An evening of faith and fellowship

Learners gathered on March 31 for a special SCA Movie and Pizza Night, creating a space for connection, reflection, and spiritual growth. The evening was filled with praise and worship, culminating in a screening of Overcomer, an inspiring film that left a lasting impression on attendees.

It was a memorable occasion that strengthened bonds and encouraged learners in their personal journeys of faith.

Giving the gift of life

On March 30, Girls High once again demonstrated its strong culture of compassion as learners and staff supported the South African National Blood Service (SANBS) blood drive.

With each donation having the potential to save up to three lives, the school community’s ongoing commitment highlights the powerful impact of selfless acts. Especially during periods when blood supplies run low, such generosity plays a vital role in helping those in need.
