Rustenburg Girls' High School is a leading school based in Rondebosch, Cape Town.
August is the month of celebration and commemorati August is the month of celebration and commemoration of the strong women that fought for their rights on the 9th of August, 1956. We can celebrate these women in several ways during lockdown by: 1. Reading books written by African women such as: * Reclaiming the Soil by Rosie Motene  * Always Another Country by Sisonke Msimang * Half a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Adichie  * So Long a Letter by Mariama Ba These books all illustrate stories of strong African women who have overcome several struggles and persevered through all their hardships.  2. Watching movies with strong female lead actresses such as: * The Hunger Games  * Charlie's Angels  * Frida * Brave (yes, the animation movie) These movies all have strong female leads who, despite all odds against them, still remain strong and resilient. 3. Donating to charities and foundations that support women such as: * Saartjie Baartman Centre for Women and Children. (The prefects are doing a drive collecting non-perishable foods and sanitary items during August. You can donate by dropping your items off when getting screened in the mornings.) @saartjiebaartmancentre * 18twenty8 * Project Dignity  * Women and beyond  4. Connecting with the strong women in your life to show the appreciation that you have for them shaping you into the powerful woman that you are and are still becoming today! #womensday2020 - Zipho Tom
A few Rustenburg girls have been very busy during A few Rustenburg girls have been very busy during lockdown to try and make a difference to the community from their homes. Some are actively involved in a youth-led organisation called the African Climate Alliance (ACA) who have been doing some incredible work. The ACA is trying to help curb climate, ecological and social injustices. Some students from the Southern Suburbs have also founded the “A Platform For Discussion” group. Kate Birch (Grade 11) explained what they have been doing during this time: “We have held online discussions to create safe spaces for womxn and non-binary people to talk about their experiences with gender-based violence. We host regular online discussions to talk about topics such as race and sexuality and catch up on what was previously discussed.” ACA have also been very busy during lockdown working on future projects and starting new ones. “We are currently working on a campaign titled “The Future Is…” which aims to provide a platform for youth to voice their ideas for the future. We also started a reading project sharing extracts from texts written by activists. We also call on young artists to create art about intersectional climate activism.” It is encouraging to see the youth of today working for the future despite the current circumstances surrounding COVID-19 and lockdown. For more information about their work go to the ACA’s Instagram page @africanclimatealliance -Roxanne Comyn

Transformation, inclusion and diversity at RGHS ha Transformation, inclusion and diversity at RGHS have been the focus of much discussion and communication over the past few weeks. We have had meaningful engagements with the School's various stakeholders to discuss the concerns and action points that were raised. We will be adding a new tab on our website shortly giving details of our transformation journey, which will highlight our future plans and targets. We look forward to working with Ms Lovelyn Nwadeyi of L&N Consultants over the next eight months to help bring about deep, real and lasting change to RGHS.
