Meal package:
During the Registration and Orientation Programme we have obtained the services of someone to provide meals for the
first-years. It is optional, but we as HC feel that it is important that the first-years should make use of this service for meals.
On their own, some of the girls do not eat healthily. Sometimes they do not eat at all because there is too little time to go
home for a meal before they have to be back in time for the busy programme. The costs are R900 for lunch and supper for
the two weeks. It is just easier and more convenient for first-years to have the package and it ensures that they get a
proper meal at least twice a day.
7. Accommodation
If you experience any problems with accommodation or you don’t have a place to stay yet, then we, as
Bellatrix HC recommend that you will consider Campus Key. It is approximately 20m from the nearest gate of
Campus and it is a very safe complex. It is modern and fully furnished. It offers secure parking and a bicycle
shed, clubhouse with DSTV and other facilities, laundry, gym, Wifi and barbecue areas. For more information
