La Rochelle Yearbook 2023

Afskeidsbookskap – Mev. E. Conradie

To the Class of 2023, with laughter and cheer, As your time at school ends, it’s time to get clear, About Blommie, our Head Girl, always with a smile, From the sports field to the stage, she went the extra mile. Jessica sang like an angel in the choir, Her voice could make even the grumpiest teacher admire. Frankie and Anerine, the hostel’s happiness crew, Made sure we had a blast, and our spirits they did renew. The ‘Dirty Dancing’ Musical, oh, what a delight, Lara set the stage on fire with dancing, and Iris shone so bright. Bianca and Amelie, our future famous writers in the making, Their stories will leave readers’ hearts aching. Sarah, who climbed every mountain, and taught us to explore, Nature’s beauty and secrets, we couldn’t ask for more. At 4G the GK made us sing, Our hearts out of joy, as the bells began to ring. At 40 Days, they drove us to madness, it’s true, But they cleaned up the mess, and we forgave them too. Through it all, the sisterhood of La Rochelle will stand, United and strong, hand in hand. Go forth, change the world, make South Africa shine, Future engineers, end load-shedding, let your brilliance define. As you study for finals, give it your all, For success is the result of giving your best, after all. Rizia, the debater, and leader of the RCL, With her eloquent words, she cast a spell. 24. Get rid of everything that is not useful, beautiful or joyful. Simplify your life. 25. Believe that the best is yet to come! No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up! 26. Doen die regte ding. 27. Each night, before you go to bed, complete the following statements: ‘I am thankful for …’ and ‘Today I accomplished … .’ 28. Remember you are too blessed to be stressed. Count your blessings and let go of anxieties.

So, with laughter and tears, we bid you adieu, As you leave these halls, your dreams to pursue. Class of 2023, you are destined for greatness, it’s true, May your journey be bright, in all that you do. Go forward, be the best that you can be, You’re the future of this nation, the world’s about to see. Graad 12’s, reik na die sterre. En Avant! 29. Remember that this is not Disney World, and you certainly do not want a fast pass. Make the most of life and enjoy the ride! Be in the moment. 30. Laastens: Onthou om altyd “asseblief” en “dankie” te sê. As julle vandag hier by die deure uitstap, hoop ek dat julle ’n paar van hierdie wenke saam met julle sal neem. En dan, op ’n ligter noot, het ek dit goed gedink om vir julle ’n gedig te skryf – met die hulp van Chat GPT natuurlik!
