THE VINEYARD OR THE WINE MAKER?

Our Grade 12 geographers visited Beau Constantia on Monday this week. The outing is linked to their research project where they have to answer the following question:

“What is more important in the making of a good bottle of wine: the physical factors of the vineyard or the skills of the wine maker?”

The girls had an intensive and informative lesson by the farm owner Pierre du Preez, they met the wine maker, and also went into the vineyards on the mountain slopes. The cherry on top of a highly educational day was delicious treats prepared by Pierre!

School Song

We are assembled here in love,
We are united, we care for one another.
The greatest lesson of all is the one
That teaches us to live together, together.

Refrain:
Everyone’s a spark and in the night
Together we make a light, a fire burning bright
Ad Dei Gloriam; Inkosi mayibongwe:
To the glory of our God: this is what we believe.

In times of trouble we support
Our fellows; we are taught to be there for our friends.
And all around us, there will be
That special unity, that binds us all together.

If we come back after many years,
We will think fondly of the things that we remember,
And the friends that we made then,
These will be friends forever, forever.

By Thandi Siebert, Head Girl 1993
