GRAAFF-REINET NEWS — Union High School proudly announced the achievement of their Gold Eco-Schools Award for their 2016's eco efforts this week.

To celebrate this milestone, stickers with the Eco-Schools logo were made for all the vehicles and prominent places in the school, and each Union High learner received a small sticker for their school bag or tablet bag.

These stickers are a good reinforcement of Union’s Eco-School status and also serve to remind all learners how much Union values Environmental Education.

Ingrid Kingwill, Youth Pastor at The Assembly Church, and Rosemary Scheepers, Education Manager at the local SANParks office, prepared a thoughtful message about 'Humans as good Stewards of our Environment' for the special World Environment Day Assembly on Friday, June 2.

The school extends their thanks to both The Assembly Church and SANParks for their continued partnership in the education the youth of our town.

The Old Unionite Class of 1957 enjoyed their 60th reunion at the school on Friday too and it was special to have them be part the Union High Eco Assembly.
