The wellness talks were started early this year in order to measure the success of these talks and see if they are effective in improving the wellness of students at res. These wellness talks were combined with academic talks, alternating every week. The activities that were included in wellness sessions were yoga, meditation, and general talks about well-being.
On Saturday, the 20th of July 2024, an exciting outdoor exploration took place as the house ventured on a hike in collaboration with College House. The hike led to a place called the Toposcope located within Makhanda. Snacks were served when we arrived at our destination and a few games were played while we appreciated the sunlight, fresh air and a beautiful view of the whole of Makhanda. This was a perfect way to distress from academics and get ready for a new week ahead. It was a beautiful and fun experience that everyone enjoyed and hope to do again soon.
