END-OF-YEAR PROGRAMME:
It is vitally important that all pupils attend school after the examinations, during the week of Monday 6 to Friday 10 December.

Other than checking scripts and important administrative activities, we will be starting the orientation programme for 2022. This includes sorting pupils into their new houses and tutor groups.

Presidents' Award Update

Congratulations to Saskia van Otterlo (Grade 10) and Shelby le Roux (Grade 11) who received their bronze Presidents' Awards in October.

The Presidents Award consists of four components: sport, service, skills and an adventurous journey. Shelby used school hockey and music involvement for the sports and skills components. For service, she volunteered at Maitland Cottage and her adventurous journey was a two-day hike at Cape Point with some of her friends.

Saskia was involved with a variety of service projects through Scouts which included helping at Cubs meetings, community outreach in Vrygrond and litter cleanups. For her skill, she has been mastering the French Horn and she used school cricket for the sports component.

Grade 8 Dance

This term the Grade 8 and 9 learners set out on a SCREEN DANCE journey for their Dance Practical Project. Screen Dance is a duet between choreography and cinematography. Over a period of four weeks, learners were introduced to the various shots, frames, angles and editing apps a cinematographer would use when piecing together a screen dance work.
