A to 10 Dinner

There are many lovely traditions surrounding Union Preparatory School, Graaff-Reinet’s annual 𝗔 – 𝟭𝟬 π——π—œπ—‘π—‘π—˜π—₯, but one that never fails to tug at the heartstrings is the Grade 4s singing for our matrics and their parents.

Set to the familiar tune of β€œπ—•π˜†π—² π—•π˜†π—² π—Ÿπ—Όπ˜ƒπ—²β€, the song has the names of all our A-10 matrics cleverly woven into the lyrics, with each learner receiving their own little musical farewell.

And there’s something about hearing those young voices singing goodbye to the very learners who once sat where they are now that makes this such a touching moment
