GOODWOOD COLLEGE RECEIVES A FRIENDLY VISIT FROM SAPS
Today we were blessed when Sergeant Pheiffer introduced Captain Wentzel to the deputy principal Mr Barkhuizen. We have frequent visits from SAPS and communication between the school and the communication officer means a lot. We salute sergeant Pheiffer for her patience and warm hearted interest in our community.
Mrs Africa also joined the conversation and we hope to have a safe and wonderful 2020 school year...

2020 THE NEW DECADE @ GWC
Wednesday 15 January 2020
It is the dawn of a New Decade. Goodwood College is going to go places this year.
School started on Monday 13 January 2020 for teachers already and they were very busy to get the school ready for the learners who will be arriving for the new school year.
Grade 8's were busy with orientation on Tuesday 14 January and they were bright "eyed and bushy tailed" when they met in the hall to listen to their new Grade 8 Grade Heads Mrs Naidoo and Mrs Baard; Register teachers: Miss Abrahams and Miss Carolison as well as senior learners who gave them a tour of the building.
Mr Barkhuizen mentioned during his welcoming speech that he is looking at a Grade 8 group that applied to be learners of Goodwood College long in advance and therefore their applications were successful and they are now in his eyes the potential Matric Class of 2024, no matter from where they were in 2019. From now on they are "part and parcel" of Goodwood College.

Amazing spirit and joyful day!
Inter-house Athletics day, was a day of jubilation at our school. Teams of Yellow, White and Green was taking part in the In-house Athletics competition. We wished for a green grass athletics track and a "GEES" that could bring us union and a sense of well-being for 2017. All 3 teams had to "Brag" big and loud. Looking back at the day: GREEN is IN. Congratulations to everyone. It was a synergy of team work to make this day possible. Thanks to all the effort from teachers who went the extra mile and host this fantastic event.1000 Photos cannot describe the "Gees" on this day. Thank you learners of Goodwood College for taking part in this eventful day. |

Team of 2017 - Thanks to our teachers
It is the rhythm of a TEAM that will determine the pace of 2017. May we be the cosmic favourites to produce a harmonious and well deserved pass rate, yet again.
Gathering on the evening of 9 January, the staff had an inspirational "DRUMBA" experience. Getting together and celebrating a year's (2016) "flash backs" and determining the "pulse" of the year to come. Thanks to all staff members. We are a "tribe" of our own as the sounds of drums pulsed for 1hour in the hall. Each and every teacher made a difference in the lives of our Grade 12's. More important is the tempo of quality teaching and learning for the rest of the learners from Grade 8 - 11 this year. Let us build a legacy of commitment and create a safe school...All of these individuals make up a team to be reckoned with. Informal and ready for 2017. |

Today a total new approach! Teachers are going to WIN the title of Mr GC or Miss GC. Watch this space!
In the true spirit of a beauty pageant our fantastically young and vibrant teachers met at the assembly area. Dressed for success they posed for an early morning "shoot". If they are so enthusiastic early in the morning, you must see them on the evening of the pageant!!The teachers are ready! Great pre-Spring fun! |
We would love to see the "Judge's" favourites. At our last assembly all contestants were mentioned and according to the opinion of everyone, it seems that the "real" competition is going to be ONE "earth-rocking" experience.

This blog page is dedicated to Mrs Dominique Perrang and her team.
FUN AND FUN AND REWARD DAY

FIRST PRIZE: JAYDEE HARTZENBERG; SECOND: KESHIA FESTUS AND THIRD: SARAH MOUHANI. WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOUR EFFORT. THANKS!!! |
Egg race; Sack race; Gladiators; Super Water Slide and much more. MUSIC from Mr Alexander. Look at all their smiles. |
On a day like this the staff rejoice and take part in all the events. Thanks to all of our staff: ON and OFF camera. |

GESELLIGE Brrrrrr. brrrrrr. Landskaphernuwing op sy beste
Soms, onverwags, gebeur dinge wat mens met baie dankbaarheid vul. Die afgelope drie dae al is daar 'n gebrom om en naby ons skool. Die pragtige bome voor ons skool word gesnoei en laat die gebou toe om die son in te lok voor "Winter" met sy grys jas alles verander. Dan staan mens met jou kamera en deel dit met almal. Dankie aan Stad Kaapstad en sy span wat die werk met soveel energie en deeglikheid gedoen het.
