During Term 3, the Grade 9 learners explored the t During Term 3, the Grade 9 learners explored the topic of Apartheid in History. As part of their learning, learners were given the opportunity to volunteer to research and deliver a short presentation on some of the lesser known heroes or activists of their choice. The learners selected the activists themselves and presented their findings to their classmates, allowing them to learn from one another and gain a deeper appreciation of the individuals who contributed to the struggle for freedom and equality in South Africa. This activity provided learners with an opportunity to develop their research, communication and presentation skills, while bringing the history of the struggle against apartheid to life in the classroom.

Most importantly, the activity helped foster a sense of gratitude and appreciation among our girls for the sacrifices made by the heroes and activists of the past. Through learning about their courage and contributions, our learners were reminded of the importance of recognising the legacy that has helped shape the South Africa in which they live today. The GHS History Department, proudly keeping History alive!!
