Welcome to our 8th graders and good luck for the year ahead.<\/span><\/p><p>The school day already started at 7:30 on the morning of the 9th of January. Although I am sure that our learners woke up early to get ready in anticipation for what the day may hold. The learners wore a jumble of emotions on their faces as they entered the school grounds with their parents. It was difficult to distinguish whose nerves were more frayed, the learners or the parents.<\/p><p>Starting high school can be scary. Students arrive with a mix of emotions. Most, however, are nervous. Maybe because first impressions matter. The reasons vary from child to child, but kids tend to feel anxious about starting school. This is not necessarily a bad thing; some anxiety is normal, even healthy. Stay positive, and remember that your new classmates feel nervous, too.<\/p><p>As part of the grade 8 orientation program, learners will be divided between 4 clans that form part of the school\u2019s Scottish heritage. These clans include Clan Mc Donald, Clan Steward, Clan Cambel and Clan Gordon \u2013 read more about our heritage on the\u00a0<a href=\"\/?page_id=12\">Our School<\/a> page. Before you know it, you are part of your clan and so much a part of the school that it feels like your second home.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-b722dbc\" data-id=\"b722dbc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5fb6936 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5fb6936\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.19.0 - 07-02-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"402\" src=\"https:\/\/theglenhighschool.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Boys-lineup-e1726731118955.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-852\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theglenhighschool.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Boys-lineup-e1726731118955.jpeg 682w, https:\/\/theglenhighschool.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Boys-lineup-e1726731118955-300x177.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d89eba elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9d89eba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"812\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/theglenhighschool.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Skoolsaal-venster.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-853\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theglenhighschool.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Skoolsaal-venster.jpeg 812w, https:\/\/theglenhighschool.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Skoolsaal-venster-300x240.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/theglenhighschool.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Skoolsaal-venster-768x615.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 812px) 100vw, 812px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-792ccfd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"792ccfd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/theglenhighschool.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Girls-lineup.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-851\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theglenhighschool.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Girls-lineup.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/theglenhighschool.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Girls-lineup-200x300.jpeg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e4f8af0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e4f8af0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Welcome to The Glen family.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A word of encouragement to our seedlings January 9, 2023 \u2013 This day marks the beginning of many 8th grade learners&#8217; High School career at The Glen High School.
