STUDENTERAAD

The SRC is a dynamic team of students who dedicate themselves to their school. We strive to motivate others and lead the school in the right direction. Our slogan for the year: Ignite the fire, fuel the flame.

Ons probeer skoolgaan so lekker as moontlik maak. Om ‘n gesonde gees in die skool te handhaaf deur goeie kommunikasie, inisiatiewe en ondersteuning van verskeie aktiwiteite is van kardinale belang.

The SRC is responsible for various projects, among which is the welcoming of the new grade 8 learners at the beginning of the year, junior dance, grade 11 dance, LAN evening, soccer day, grade 8 mentorship programme etc.

Het jy geweet?

Die kleure van die koord op die skoolbaadjie vertel vir jou iets van hul rol op die SR.

Green: Headleaders

Maroon: Representative Council of Learners (Top three in each grade)

White: Senior Council

Being an SRC member involves a lot of hard work behind the scenes that is often unrecognized. One of the perks however is that the SRC has their own office which they use as a headquarter for organising projects and meetings as well as to relax during break times.

Uit die Graadvoog se kantoor:

Verwelkomingsweek van Graad 8

O&B is die hoeksteen van elke graad 8 se hoërskoolreis, die oomblik waar hulle nie net ’n nuwe skool betree nie, maar deel word van iets groters. Dit is ’n week van trots, gees en samehorigheid, waar vreemdelinge in familie verander en tradisie in ’n lewende vlam verander. By Stellenberg gaan dit oor meer as net kultuur, akademie of sport—dit gaan oor karakter, oor hoe ons mekaar optel en saam vorentoe beweeg.

In 2025, we do it all with a bit of attitude—skunk attitude.

With the fearless spirit, bold stripe, and unmistakable presence of a skunk, this year’s theme reminds us that sometimes standing out is the strongest way to stand together.

STELLIES GOT TALENT

DANSE

Die Graad 9-VRL-lede het saam met die Graadvoogde ‘n baie gesellige aand vir hulle medeleerders gereël. Die leerders het heerlik ontspan, mekaar beter leer ken en hartlik saam gekuier.

Later in the evening the microphones and speakers were set up and the Grade 9 group showed off their karaoke talents. The’ crowd’ on the pavilion were singing along and cheering their friends. The sweet melodies and laughter will be remembered for a long time!

‘n Paar flukse ouers het ingespring om te help met die braai van die boerewors. Saam met die registeronderwysers is ‘n produksielyn gevorm om al die boereworsrolle voor te berei – ‘n kuns wat menige restaurant hulle sal beny!

We want to thank our SRC members, Grade Heads, admin teachers and parents for this amazing evening! We look forward to more of these memorable events.

Charing Is Caring

For Mandela day our learners accepted an invitation from Tygerberg Oncology Centre to raise funds for new Chemotherapy chairs.

Learners bought stickers to wear something floral with their uniform on Thursday 18 July, to symbolise hope. On Friday 19 July admin groups entered chairs into a decorating contest.

Well done to the class monitors for being the “Chair leaders” for the project. Thank you to everyone who brought it all together. A special thanks goes to 8A6, they decided to raise funds in their own capacity too. Well done Stellenberg.

Thank you to Vredekloof Spar and Roman’s Okavango for gifting the winning class with a delicious reward. Parents could enter a raffle to win a framed artwork by renowned South African artist, Theo Paul Vorster. The winning Karri purchase was registered to Ruben Stipp.

GRADE 11 DAY

The highly-anticipated Grade 11 Day finally arrived on 16 October 2024. A true Stellie tradition, the event allowed learners the platform to showcase their creativity through themed outfits which reflected their favourite characters. (We hope that the blue Smurf paint came off without too much of a struggle!)

The first-break fashion show’s electric atmosphere proved inescapable as the school gathered to watch the Grade 11s strut their stuff on the red carpet. And the festivities continued in second break; the Geesgat was a hive of activity as the Grade 11s socialised to the music.

As is clear from the photos, the day was a roaring, fun-filled success.

MATRIEK AFSKEID

On 19 September 2024, Stellenberg High School celebrated its much-anticipated matric farewell at the beautiful Eureka Estate. This year’s theme, “Italian Countryside,” transformed the venue into a charming slice of Italy, complete with rustic decor, vibrant colours, and enchanting lights that captured the essence of a serene Italian evening.

Students arrived in elegant attire, embodying the spirit of the theme with flowing gowns and dapper suits that added to the enchanting atmosphere. As they walked the red carpet, the excitement was tangible, with friends and family capturing memories through countless photographs.

The evening kicked off with delightful canapes followed by a mouthwatering harvest tablefeaturing a delectable selection of Italian cuisine, all thoughtfully curated to transport guests to the heart of Italy. Laughter and joy filled the air as students celebrated this amazing evening.

The highlight of the evening was the dancing, where students showcased their best moves on the dance floor. The DJ kept the energy high, spinning tracks that had everyone on their feet, creating unforgettable moments.

UITSTAPDAG

At the Grade 12 Valedictory, we took a heartfelt journey back to where it all began—1731 days ago, when parents watched their children take their first steps into high school. The years since have been filled with growth, laughter, and challenges.

Ons vier hulle volwassewording van klein spinnekoppies in graad 8 na volwasse, sterk en veerkragtige, jong volwassenes!

This event was not just a farewell to high school but a celebration of the resilience, independence and memories they have gained along the way.
