Attitude determines Altitude - the journey to Accounting excellence

The photo-compilation says it all. Long after school hours on a Friday, Miss Muller and her students engage in the finer "high flyer" part of Accounting.

Djamillah and Djibreelly Mutabazi serious at work for more than two hours after school on a Friday. Miss Muller takes them to  another level in Accounting Grade 9.

 

Thanks Miss Muller for the positive and inspirational engagement with our learners. No wonder their names are amongst the top 10 of their grade.

2016 Mr&Miss GOODWOOD COLLEGE [PROMOTION] - SATURDAY 27 AUGUST 2016

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.

Tickets was sold during school hours, but can still be purchased at the gate. Tickets now available R30 @ gate-booking-availability.

BUSINESS STUDY QUIZ

In the Computer Applications Technology environment, we embrace Apps. Our Business Study teachers attended a Quiz-morning. Taking photos on the day and sending it with text. It was an early morning for everyone on this day. Thanks to Me Martilene & Chrisme Nel for the extra effort to assist our learners in their pursuit of excellence. We appreciate their added value to our school.

Business Study Quiz Competition at HS Tafelberg in Bothasig. They went through to the Cup Final!!! Taking part against Milnerton High, Bosmansdam High etc.

17 Schools taking part. 4 Rounds of solid conversation.

Goodwood College got to Round 2 of the Final Countdown.

SKITTEREND.

Our motto is not the final Cup, but the journey! More photos will follow.

This is the way to go. Business is busy!

 

GOODWOOD COLLEGE HAS TALENT!

CONSUMER STUDY LAB UPGRADE 2016

Thank you.

We are humble in our acknowledgement of the extended hand of caring from our sponsors.

(It leaves us with a loss of words.)

We strive to uplift and educate our "dear" learners to reach their maximum potential.

Our core business is to teach them the basics of food technology and planning to run a successful household/entrepreneurial venture. The environment to teach them must embody today's standards. Hence the necessity of an upgrade in the Consumer Study Classroom.

Thanks to all stakeholders. You all contributed to the one ingredient in a recipe that will ensure a 100% end result.

Goodwood College - FUN reward day celebration - 8 April 2016

This blog page is dedicated to Mrs Dominique Perrang and her team.

FUN AND FUN AND REWARD DAY

We were bound by safety and security protocol from WCED to refrain from having "surf walks". It is necessary if we look at annual drownings and accidents. We respect that. Instead of going to the ocean, we brought fun and water to our beautiful school.

Have a close look at all the photo's. It took some time for the CAT team to get hold of them. It was such fun and the extreme summer weather played a role to make this the best first Friday of the second term. Thanks to all stakeholders, teachers and learners. Next time we hope to see more than the 1/3 of you in our ongoing venture to raise funds and make your journey from Gr8 to Gr12 to be fun an fantastic.

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.
