exceptionally well in academic, sports and cultural activities. Traditionally these blazers may only be worn by seniors (i.e. grade 10 to matric). A white blazer is the highest, most honourable blazer in the school and is given to prefects, cheerleaders and the head boy and head girl to be worn on special occasions. Matrics also have special ties that are lighter than the traditional brown school tie. Klets, Knibbel en Kykfees The Klets, Knibbel en Kykfees (Chat, Nibble and Watch festival), commonly known as the KKK fees, gives learners the opportunity to express their creativity by participating in various cultural activities. With boat-building, debating, cupcake decorating, stand-up comedy, graffiti, poetry, rapping, idols and even paper-jet folding, it provides fun and enrichment for each Helpie involved. Rugby spirit Winter is rugby season and at Helpmekaar rugby is more than just a game. The whole school attends all home games to stand behind their first team and when they reach the finals everyone goes along. The first-team jerseys are brown and gold, whereas the other teams wear white. First-team players also have special scarves, hats and shorts that they can wear with their school uniform (mentioned above). Golden Boys The Golden Boys are the official school mascots. Dressed up in brown cloaks, rugby-shorts and golden body paint, they perform at major events such as Inter-High Athletics meets, rugby games and swimming galas. Grade 10 boys are specially selected by previous Golden Boys to participate in this tradition.
