This event aimed to provide first-year students with a safe space to discuss and work through common personal and academic challenges. The event focused on addressing issues related to the topics of discussion that were suggested to the Wellness Reps of the two residences from the first years. The main suggested topics of discussion included: social anxiety, time management, personal relationships, and the balance between academic and social lives. The event was structured to combine structured discussions and light-hearted, therapeutic activities in order to foster both emotional and social well-being.
The event was a resounding success, with attendees enthusiastically embracing the dress code, black and jeans outfits that added to the evening's energetic ambiance. The carefully curated activities, including teamwork-building games, card games, cup stacking challenges, and lively dancing, ensured that everyone had an unforgettable time. The event's interactive nature fostered a sense of unity among participants, making it a truly memorable experience for all involved.
The event was themed around a "Nude Colour" template for Allan Gray, which attendees enthusiastically incorporated into their outfits. The braai featured delicious food, engaging games such as guessing games, Mafia, and 30 Seconds, and ample opportunities for socialising in the various facilities available. The evening's lively atmosphere was complemented by great music, allowing everyone to unwind, have fun, and forge new connections.
Allan Gray participated in the RU Sports Evening on the 12 February. A fun time with multiple inclusive games and sports such as: sack races, touch rugby, tug of war and many others
The Allan Gray and Olive Schreiner House Sports Day took place at the Great Field on the 22 March. The event was much fun with two teams, team black and team white, competing in fun games such as tug of war, 5 a side soccer, open gate and water balloon wars.
