I am schooling at Monica Geingos Secondary School and I am very happy to be on holiday because I’ve waited to be on holiday for so long. I can go visit my family out of town and just spend some time with my family and friends. I do not look forward to going back to school at all.

Nicole Kharigus

I go to Otjiwarongo Secondary School and being on holiday really makes me happy because we can finally rest a bit from school, and do the things I enjoy doing in my free time. I do look forward to going back to school because I am excited for the new term ahead.

I go to Donates Secondary School. Well, for me, being on holiday is great because now I have much more free time to hang out with my friends and even to play some soccer. I don’t look forward to going back to school because that means having to wake up early for school again and doing that is so much harder in winter.

Kristen Garas

I am at Donates Secondary School and I am ecstatic about being on holiday because our holiday came a lot later than we expected and now that it’s here, I am definitely enjoying it to its fullest. It’s great because I can hang out with my friends a lot longer and I don’t have to be up early in the morning. Well, I honestly do not look forward to going back to school, but since this is my last push for the year, I don’t really have much of a choice.

I go to Donates Secondary School and being on holiday is probably one of the best things that has happened. I love learning new things but school can be exhausting and therefore a bit of a holiday is what we need from time to time. I’d be lying if I said I’m looking forward to going back to school. I guess it’s just one of those things I have to do.

Paresis Secondary School is the school I go to and I am super happy about being on holiday. It’s been great so far. I like the fact that I can stay in bed longer and that I have a lot of free time to myself and to catch up with my hobbies I don’t get time for when school is on. I do look forward to going back to school and seeing what this semester has in store.

Christian Somseb

I am from Karundu Junior Secondary School and being on holiday is just what I needed, especially because I get to play soccer whenever me and my friends feel like it - without any time limitations. Another reason I am glad about the holiday is that I get to travel to visit my friends and family. All this free time feels really good so going back to school is bittersweet because these are the last few months of the year.
