Checkmate! A Strong Finish for Herschel Chess...

The Herschel Girls Prep Chess Team ended their first season with an 8–4 win over Wynberg Girls’ School in the 2026 Southern Suburbs Friendly Chess League, finishing 11th overall—a great debut achievement!

It has been fantastic to see our chess club grow in numbers, confidence and enthusiasm throughout the year. With formal chess coaching secured for 2027, we are excited to build on this foundation and hope to enter two teams in the league next year, creating even more opportunities for our girls to develop their skills and represent Herschel.

Huge congratulations to all our players on a fantastic first season. The future of chess at Herschel is looking very bright!

A special thank you to Mrs Sheik Mohamed for your guidance and coaching of the Chess Club.

What a wonderful morning of learning, celebrating identity and how religion shapes the communities we come from!

On Tuesday, 8 September, our Grade 5 pupils proudly showcased their Celebrating World Religious Festivals projects to parents, staff and fellow pupils.

The classroom was transformed into a vibrant celebration of discovery, with creative displays, interesting facts, colourful visuals, props and enthusiastic presentations. Learners explored festivals from Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism, sharing what they had discovered about the traditions, beliefs, symbols, food and cultures connected to each celebration.

The showcase was a wonderful reflection of the inquiry-based teaching and learning that takes place both inside and outside the classroom at Herschel Girls’ Prep.
