Martin Bester reminded everyone of the importance of making a grand entrance at the beginning of the year. The headmaster of Hoërskool Montana arrived in style on Thursday morning when Bakkies Botha surprised everyone, as well as the Bulls babes!
Bakkies Botha remembers his first day of high school: ”I remember my first day of school. I was emotional and you are scared of the unknown. I was in the hostel in high school.
“My daughter also went back to school and it’s nice to see the children growing up. They are fanatic about their schools and it’s amazing. When we were this (High school) age, we did not have as much self confidence as them.”
