2013 was gekenmerk deur baie veranderinge, nie net in die skool nie, maar ook in die koshuise.
Daar was ook veranderinge wat die sogenaamde orientasie van die gr 11 in Leith aan betref. Dit het aanvanklik die gr 12 leerders negatief gehad, maar nadat die huisvader dit verduidelik en gemotiveer het, het die gr 12’s dit verstaan… dankie gr 12’s.
Things are going well in Leith House. There is a good relationship between the gr 11 and 12 learners –with the gr 11 learners well aware that the gr 12’s are the seniors and are treated with respect in this regard.
Leith Huis is die hartklop van Grey. As dit goed gaan in Leith gaan dit goed met Grey….Die woorde van Vollies.
There is apositive vibe in the hostel. The boys braai, drink coffee, make music (sometimes TOO loudly) and enjoy the fellowship of each other.
Die nuwe inwoners het nog nie die teenwoordigheid van die “Grey Lady” ervaar nie , maar sal hierdie kwartaal meer van haar hoor tydens aandappel.
I would like to add that Adriaan Strauss, Andries Strauss, Lappies Labuschagne,Coenie Oosthuisen, Robert and Sias Eberson, Pieter v Zyl and Jan Serfontein are all old Leith House manne.
In Leith we say, “Dis lekker om 'n mens te wees, maar dan moet jy 'n lekker mens wees.”
Leith House and Grey are something special for the boys as it was illustrated in a poem given to the hostel by the 2010 matrics:
Leith House
No guts, no glory
This is an awesome story
A place full of ambition where
people live in tradition
In this place my heart will
always stay
This place I call Grey
