One of the ways in which the RCL aims to sustain transparency and communication between all spheres of Rustenburg life is through regular report-back sessions with the school. These serve as an opportunity to offer feedback of the suggestions the RCL has received from the school and how, to the best of their ability, they are aiming constantly to improve everyone’s experience at Rustenburg. An example of this is the recently-approved navy blue pullover jersey that is now an official item of the Rustenburg uniform, after a proposal from the RCL. Anyone is welcome to offer constructive criticism and suggestions to the RCL via the representatives or their “suggestion box” in the media centre. The RCL is also represented on the School Governing Body by two members, forming another invaluable communication link.

RCL members are, at all times, expected to carry themselves with excellence and epitomise what a Rustenburg girl should be: kind, caring and sensitive to the needs of others; hard-working and motivated to bring about positive change in her environment; honest, trustworthy and dependable; but, most of all, proud of her school and the opportunity to serve others. This is what the RCL of Rustenburg Girls’ High School strives constantly towards.
