Hostel Induction

On Sunday, the 27^th of January 2013, the hostel students moved into their new home for the year, the Prestige Academy Hostel, called Lots of Joy, Fun and Hope.

Crowds of weary individuals slowly made their way through the hostel gates, parents clutched firmly in one hand, and their belongings in the other (Baggage, however, managed to stash luggage in places we are all still trying to figure out). Nonetheless, they had arrived, and we were ecstatic about it.

Once the students were settled into their respective rooms, the hostel induction program began. Here, the koshuis “brakke” learned the fine art of “juiging”, some became accomplished play-writes and others runway models. They spawned young eggs, painted banners, t-shirts and their own mugs, and found their happiness within the confines of our humble little hostel.

Moustaches were grown, bricks were counted, cars were washed, floors were mouth-blown dry, nappies were worn and pizza eating champions were born! It was the stuff of legends.

It is safe to say that respectful, wonderful individuals, with their new unique names (assigned to them by the SRC), were the product of this induction period. We saw friends made and fun had by all.
