November handing over

Grade 11's or if you allow, my new grade 12's. It is the end of a very eventful year. Remember the frustration running Office 2003 and 2007 on the same network. The sacrifices our Khanya lab had to make due to server constraints. Well, resources need to be looked at in 2011.
With this update (long overdue) we salute our principal Mr du Plessis and wish him the best of times as he retires 10 December 2010. I also greet a very dear friend and colleague Dr Pam Miller that means the world to me and will always stay my mentor and ideal teacher. She could have changed the lives of students (and she did) but chose to stay hands on in teaching. She is also "retiring" from school, but is going to change people's lives in another venture. Why would I elaborate on a teacher you do not know? You do know her work. All her efforts in streamlining the PAT process, her association with Study Opportunities and her awe inspiring Power Point Presentations. Thanks Dr Miller.
We welcome our new (like in very new) CAT teacher Miss Alicia Esau. She will be teaching CAT Grade 10 and half of the Grade 11 classes next year. Miss Esau will be assisting me in the upkeep of this very important blog. If you are interested in a full intervention report on your progress in 2010, I will be posting your summary mark sheet breakdown in a document that you can download if you wish. (Obviously in pdf format so that you can't change it!!!)
