Jeppe High School for Girls

Crassula wins inter house gala

This year’s Inter house gala on 2 February was a very eventful day, with the challenges of the weather thrown into the mix as well as the fact that we experienced a power cut just before the gala was about to begin. In true Jeppe style the staff and the matrics worked around the lack of power and the festivities went ahead. The matrics looking amazing in their inspired costumes – Harveya were Prisoners, Disa were Starbucks, Nerine, Tweety, Protea Police, Crassula were Wildcats (High School Musical) and Gerbera Boxers. Thanks to these vibrant and enthusiastic cheerleaders, the day was a guaranteed success.  After the matrics danced around the school singing war cries, the girls headed to the pool for the actual event.
