A TIME TO CELEBRATE

As the year winds down, December brings a mix of
excitement and reflection. The festive season is upon FROM THE OFFICE PEN
us — a time to rest, recharge, and make memories with
family and friends. But it can also come with its share
of stress and school holiday boredom, so we’ve packed
this issue with festive features and tips to help you easily
navigate the season.
For those awaiting matric results, we know the
anticipation can be overwhelming. Good luck as you
approach this milestone — remember, no matter the
outcome, it’s just the beginning of your journey.
If you’re already considering your New Year’s resolutions,
the Dainfern Running Club could be the perfect way to
kickstart a healthier 2025. Whether you’re a seasoned
runner or just starting out, there’s a place for everyone in
this supportive community.

prioritise our safety, both on the roads and in our day-to-
day activities. Wishing you all a joyous, restful December
filled with laughter and connection.
Enjoy the read, and we’ll see you in the new year!
