Random Photo's during break on Valentine's Day

Taking a stroll during break, Mr Barkhuizen and Miss Esau witnessed the fun and "fished" some photo's for the blog. We wish we could publish them all, but there were too many happy friendship circles to accommodate on our blog. Thank you learners of Goodwood College for making this an unforgettable day.

Some enjoyed the peace and quiet at the further end of the playground

During break the runners up from all the grades had to parade in the Staff Room!

Miss Steyn organise the Valentine's Raffle and Karla won it 3 times in a row

Letitia and friends kindly pose for a photo!

Mr Davids on terrain duty! Thank you sir!!

How scared can one be to get to your balloon Valentine's message?

Danielle, Michael and Chandre added some humor to the day.

Cheerfully happy and smiles. What a lovely day!

Thank you Mr Dolf Burger for kind words in your comment to our blog.

I have commented on the 1746 hits made on our blog this year. It means that so many people connected to our blog and tonight I found a "gem" reply to our postings. I am going to publish this, because we all know this dear teacher and miss him every day. Tonight we stand at an astounding 1843 visitors to our blog, including Mr Burger. Thank you for taking the time to read about us Mr Dolf Burger.

Mr Burger emailed me personally and he mailed the following:

Congratulations with all the good and positive things that are happening at Goodwood College. As an ex-teacher who served the school for approximately 34 years it warms my heart to see that all the things we were aspiring to are finally falling into place.  Will you please pass my regards and thanks to all the loyal and hard working teachers and pupils. The new look of the school with the palisade fence is a great achievement.

Regards Mr Burger

Dankie Dolf, jy is in ons harte en steeds deel van ons skool. (blog red)

ADDING VALUE TO OUR SCHOOL

Today we had a special assembly. We have honoured learners that add value to our school. We are so proud of you. To add value to your school means a lot and we want to dedicate this blog post to each and everyone that made us proud in assembly. We have the learners who were selected by Rachel's Angels and we have our RCL (Representative Council of Learners)

Let us start with our RCL for 2012. A huge responsibility is bestowed on their shoulders. To represent their grades and to serve the school with the example they set. I have a feeling that we will see POSITIVE representation by the way in which the learners applauded their choice today.

Mrs Carin Aucamp is the proud coordinator of our RCL.

Rachel's Angels

Next is our Rachel's Angels project that started at the beginning of this year under the mentor ship of our dear principal Mrs Africa and Mrs Clarke. In order to join this programme, both mentioned, had to present the board of Media24 with definite reasons why we feel that our learners must join this programme. For your convenience I post this link to direct you to the Angel's website and you can read about it at your own leisure: http://www.rachelsangels.co.za/ (Please feel free to click on this site and read all about the project. Bottom line: WE ARE PART OF IT and it is adding VALUE to our school in 2012. Thank you Mrs Africa and Mrs Clarke for making this possible.

Changing the blog template

I had to change the "template" of our blog. It took some time, but I am positive that the "breezy" clean and simple layout appeals to our followers and visitors. We boast 1746 hits (views) thus far and our target is 3000 hits before June 2012. Thanks for viewing our blog.
