Although the actual birthday was on Wednesday 16 January this year the celebrations were postponed in order to accommodate visitors and past pupils from far afield and who are living or working abroad. On Friday morning a gathering was held in the school hall at which the principal, Ms. Terina Swanepoel welcomed those present and said that celebration means to show admiration and to acknowledge. “With today’s celebration, we first welcome God the Father in our midst and acknowledge Him as head of our school and show our admiration to Him for the existence of Ermelo Christian School and that because of His grace, we are able to celebrate 30 years.”
