IS THE MATRIC CLASS OF 2013 REALLY READY FOR THE BIG WORLD AFTER SCHOOL?

the matric class of 2013 (well probably all of them really) say they have their future all figured out but do we really. after matric the main thing on peoples minds are going to be: where am i studying? who is going to the same university as me? what must i do? and they are all really good questions but there are more important things to worry about like getting a job to be able to pay for goods and services when your parents decide that you are old enough and can do it on your own. you would have to get a job and a car to go places. and most people want their own place they can call home so they can make up their own rules. it all sounds nice until you dream comes true, then you have bills to pay every month and you would have to do the grocery shoping instead of relying on mom to do it. it all gets easier when you get married, then you can share the responsibility and the monthly bills. but that is still a long way away for us. right now we have to focus on exams and school work to get us through matric. and then focus on how we will live.

HYDE PARK HIGH SCHOOL MATRIC DANCE

on the 4th  of may, Hyde Park high school held their annual Matric dance at the Indaba hotel. the theme was Casino Royale. with the Indaba hotel transformed into a flurry of  flashing lights, roulette tables and glitzy decor, Matrics got to partying full on. we all know: "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas". the decorations were awesome, the food was good and most of all the dance floor was full for most of the night thanks to the DJ and even some of the teachers got up and danced. it definitely was a night to remember and it will be for long to come. as the school newsletter has read: "The annual Matric dance was held on the 4th May at the Indaba Hotel, with the theme of Casino Royale. The Matric group of 2013 were treated to a memorable evening, with many beautiful evening dresses and stylish suits to be seen. The dance floor was abuzz with happy faces and the event will no doubt be etched in their memories for years to come."
