Our guest speaker for this year's opening that took place on Wednesday 12 October, was Old Girl Anelisa Mangcu (E2010) (Second from right). She flew down from Johannesburg to open the Exhibition and inspire the Art and Design girls with her thoughtful words.

GREEN FLASH
Transport Month

It’s Transport Month! The Earth Children would like to know how YOU travel to school every day. Please complete this short survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/EarthChildrenTransport and tell us more...

Have you perhaps considered carpooling with other students? It saves time, petrol, cuts down on overall traffic, reduces your carbon footprint AND helps you to meet new people. We would suggest that you should start by discovering who lives in your area who also attends RGHS and there you go!

Is your teenager stressed out, anxious or suffering from panic attacks? My daughter is in Grade 11 at Rustenburg and I am a practising energy healer. I am looking to start a support circle for teenagers who are struggling to maintain a sense of balance. These initial sessions will be at no charge. I will be running these sessions from my home in Newlands during the evenings. If you or your daughter are interested or would like further information please contact me either on 079 497 3664 or lisa-jane@thelightinyou.co.za
