Culture
These opportunities foster creativity, confidence, and critical thinking, while allowing girls to express themselves and engage meaningfully with others. Through performances, exhibitions, and competitions, Rhenish girls are inspired to grow as well-rounded individuals who appreciate the arts and the power of cultural expression
Choir
The Rhenish Choir is a vibrant and welcoming ensemble that offers learners the opportunity to develop their musical talent, confidence and teamwork through choral singing. Under the expert guidance of conductor Mrs Sonja van Amstel, the choir works towards musical excellence while fostering a strong sense of community and enjoyment.
Rehearsals take place on Tuesdays from 14:30 to 16:00, and this time slot does not clash with the school’s sports programme, allowing learners to participate fully in both cultural and sporting activities.
Orchestra
Making music with lots of other people is tremendously rewarding and very therapeutic. No matter how bad your day at school has been, you’ll soon forget about your troubles once you sit down in front of your music and throw yourself into a performance. Playing in an orchestra is an incredibly intellectually demanding exercise, and one that must command your full attention. It’s a great way of forgetting about schoolwork for a while, at the same time as still making use of (and developing) different areas of your brain.
The Rhenish Orchestra consists of many musicians - from woodwind players, string, brass, and percussion instruments. Auditions are held in the beginning of the year and players from different grades in music can audition and do not need to take music as a subject to be part of the orchestra.
Rehearsals take place on Monday evenings from 17:30 - 19:15
Debating
Rhenish Girls' High offers excellent Debating opportunities through our Debating Society. Learners can improve their critical thinking skills, verbal eloquence and confidence with the guidance and support of external coaches.
The interest in debating is such that we are able to field two excellent senior and two strong junior teams, with our teams regularly winning the Boland Debating League.
Girls compete in the Boland School League Debating and can go on to represent the school at regional, and even national level. The school also participates at the National All Girls' Fesitival and in friendly matches against neighbouring schools.
