Term 3

so Hyde Park High went back to school on Monday the 15th July for term 3. this term is going to be a hard term for matrics, what with prelims starting on 19th of August and all the work that needs to be covered for the prelims. We are going to have to sit down and have our noses in our books to get ready for the prelims. term 3 is also going to have a few projects, speeches and assignments. so its up to matric students to work hard. it is quite simple. WORK HARD OR FAIL MATRIC!!!

THURSDAY

so i found these pictures, and i thought its only fair to post them since it is thursday

THE FIRST CAR YOU GET AS A MATRIC STUDENT.

when you finally get your drivers licence in matric. all you wanna do is drive. many people get a small car to start off with,which is the right thing to do as you can get used to a small car. then you have kids who want a big car to start off with, like the other day i heard a story that this girl was fighting with her dad because she wanted a fortuner as her first car and her dad said no. i mean come on why would you fight with your dad because he wont buy you the car you want (probably cause its REALLY expensive). rather start off small, get used to the car, then go bigger. i mean if you want to drive a bakkie, if your dad has one ask him if you can drive his sometimes. ITS COMMON SENSE!

hey guys. sorry i have not been posting, its just that the internet has been down at my house. but i have decided i am going to start putting some posts up about other things that are an interest to some of the kids at Hyde Park High School. such as: cars, sports and other topics

ID DAY AT HYDE PARK

a couple of days ago (the 9th of may) hyde park high school had ID day. ID day is a day when all the pupils pay R5 and dress up in themed costumes. this year was superheroes and super villians and it was a great day. the costumes were awesome. here below are some of the costumes.

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.
