Dear Parents of girls so bright and true,

This poem is a message meant just for you.

She’s growing up quickly, right before your eyes,

From childhood dreams to life’s grander skies.

Imagine her strong, confident, kind,

With courage and wisdom, a beautiful mind.

It starts with a choice that only you make,

To invest in her dreams for her future’s sake.

Enroll her with GS, a family that cares,

Teaching skills and values she’ll proudly wear.

Empower her heart, her voice, and her mind,

So, she becomes bold, gentle, and kind.

Don’t hesitate now, don’t wait ‘til she’s grown,

When she’s out on her own, making choices alone.

Equip her to flourish, trust in her voice,

A girl who stands tall, with courage and poise.

So, plant seeds of strength, of truth and grace,

Let her bloom in her time at her own wondrous pace.

One day, you’ll look back with pride and see,

She’s grown into everything she was born to be.

From Tea parties and Teddy Bears to Shared Secrets and Braided Hair.

From Glitter and Glue to Diaries and ‘I Miss You’s.

From Hopscotch Games and Butterfly Chases to First Crushes and Changing Faces.

From Storytime and Bedtime Hugs to Playlists and Coffee Mugs.

From Twirl in Tutus and Sing-Along tunes to Late-Night Chats under the Moon.

From Skinned Knees and Scraped Elbows to Painted Nails and Quiet ‘Hellos.’

From Paper Crowns and Dress-Up Gowns to Debates and Thoughtful Frowns.

From Stargazers and Wish-Makers to Planners and Dream Shapers.

From Little Giggles and Crayon Scribbles to Shared Memes and Midnight Riddles.

From Pigtails and Playground Swings to Journals filled with Hopes and Things.

From Cartwheels and Jumping Rope to High-Top Shoes and Spoken Hope.

From Tutus and Tap Shoes to Sneakers and ‘I Choose.’

From Cocoa Cups and Story Sighs to Hoodies and Tear-Filled Goodbyes.

Happy Parents

 

“Thank you for providing this space and opportunity for my daughter to develop her self confidence and learn valuable new skills. This was truly an investment in her future as this course empowered and inspired her to be a happy teenager in these challenging times that we live in today.”

– Kerryn Soles, Girl-School Parent

“Ek wil net weer dankie sê vir die ongelooflike verskil wat Girl-School in ons huis gebring het. Laas kwartaal het ek ‘n dogtertjie met sommer so last-minute poniestert in die nek, by die skool afgelaai. Die vakansie gebeur Girl-School met haar en vanoggend was dit alles anders… vroeg opgestaan om haarself te versorg… hare even gekrul met ‘n hoë, trotse poniestert… trots op wie sy is, laai ek haar by die hek af.

Ek is jou ewig dankbaar, want êrens daar diep binne haar het jy ‘n verskil gemaak”.

– Girl-School Parent
