DOUBLE CELEBRATION. . .
At our very last School Governing Body Meeting for the current members, we were delighted to have a double celebration. Some time ago the Academy invited us to attend a special presentation of their intention to go into a partnership with the National Department of Social Development. Last night we signed a contract with them and we also officially support their motto from now onwards:  To use soccer as a positive re enforcement of good values and discipline in young people. Our learners are going to benefit from this - BIG TIME.

The last meeting of our current Governing Body before the elections in March 2012 and we thank them for their loyalty.

MUSIC IN OUR PASSAGES

It sounds like you are in heaven when you walk down the passages after hours in our school. Miss Stegman and Mrs Pannewitz have to get the credit for this fantastic venture. We would like to encourage our learners to make use of this opportunity. Like Miss Moeralie said in Assembly the other day:  "Life is all about choices and it is the choice we make on a specific day that will determine our altitude in life."  I am so proud to hear the wonderful sounds of music instruments in our school!

On the other end it is Mr Scheepers a new teacher at our school who directs the Gospel Choir. I paid them a visit on Friday and we will definitely hear more of them in the future.
