Past and present girls and teachers joined in the celebrations today as Herschel celebrated its 96th birthday!
At the Senior School, a special assembly was held where we celebrated the theme “The Herschel Family”. Special guest speaker was Old Herschelian Nicky Newton-King, who was awarded the Caroline Herschel Award, an award which was launched to celebrate the extraordinary impact that Old Herschelians have made in South Africa and the world beyond. This was followed by the lovely Founder’s Day service at St Saviour’s Church.
The Prep School’s birthday celebration assembly was led by the Grade 4 girls who all wore their party dresses to the birthday celebration.
And no Founder’s Day would be complete without cupcakes and the traditional arch formation and singing of the school song.
Happy Founder’s Day Herschel!
