Siziphiwe Vumazonke reports, "I felt overjoyed to be chosen as a hostel leader. When Mrs Woods called my name, I was shocked because I did not expect it. I thank Mrs Woods and Mrs Peltason for giving me this opportunity."
Sibonokuhle Baart reports, "Being a hostel prefect is such an honour. It has been my goal since I was a new pot in Grade 8. I am so happy to have made it. I would like to thank Mrs Peltason, Mrs Woods and Mrs Moss for preparing me for this title and responsibility. I am humbled by their love and trust in me."
Rasilingwane Elelwani said, "When I heard that I was the Head of Hostel, I was happy but nervous at the same time. I was nervous because I did not know if I would be able to lead by example and be responsible. I was beyond happy though and I cannot even put into words how excited I am. I thank Mrs Woods and Mrs Peltason for this opportunity."
Mrs Peltason reports: At the end of 2014 no selection of Head Girl and prefects were announced. Only two appointments were made: Elelwani Rasilingwane, prefect, and de facto Head Girl, and Kuhle Baart, Prefect. At the time everyone knew that this was a temporary state of affairs and not ideal. When Siziphiwe returned to the hostel she began serving as a Monitor. All three returned early to prepare for the arrival of the girls. These girls have done so well, have been such examples to others and have put in much time and service to the hostel. They deserve to be acknowledged as the leaders they are. Congratulations Elelwani on your appointment of Head Girl and Kuhle and Siziphiwe as prefects. You have the full support of the girls and the staff.
This year the matric girls far outnumber any other grade at the hostel. These girls have committed themselves to improving their grades and getting the very best possible matric pass. Nevertheless we acknowledge their seniority and leadership and believe that each one of them has an equal contribution to make in youth leadership in the Sholto McIntyre Hostel.
