Glow to Greatness: Potch Girls' High Welcomes Its 2027 Grade 8s at New Girls' Day

For many girls, New Girls' Day is the very first taste of high school life. The school described it as "a bright new beginning" and said it was a wonderful weekend spent welcoming the girls who will start Grade 8 in 2027.

A fun-filled first visit

According to the post, the day was fun-filled and informative, packed with exciting activities, important information and delicious treats. The school also noted that the weather played along beautifully.

Days like these help new learners find their way around, meet future classmates and get a feel for the school before the first term begins.

Five years of opportunity

In its message to the new girls, the school said it could not wait to see the friendships they will build and the opportunities they will embrace.

"Your journey is just beginning, and we are so excited to be part of it!" the school wrote, wishing them "new beginnings, endless possibilities and five unforgettable years".

The school's motto for the moment, "Glow to Greatness", ran through the post as the theme for the new group.

Looking ahead to 2027

The welcome comes as the school's current Grade 11s prepare to step into senior and leadership roles for 2027, meaning the incoming Grade 8s will start high school alongside a brand-new leadership team.

What this means for you

Parents of incoming Grade 8s should keep an eye on the school's communication channels for information about the start of the 2027 school year, uniforms and orientation.

Families who missed the day or have questions can contact the school directly, and the school's Facebook page will carry updates as the new year approaches.
