BIG SISTERS & BROTHERS for 2020 Grade 8's

Rise to the occasion...

I had the privilege of meeting these learners in the front foyer of the school and they volunteered to assist from orientating Grade 8 learners to assisting in all facets of school.  Academic and extra mural - we will see them taking the lead.

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...

Captain Wentzel; Mrs Africa and Sergeant Pheiffer

MRS AFRICA WELCOMES THE SENIOR LEARNERS AT THE ASSEMBLY AREA

Eager and ready to meet their register teachers! G9 - G12 listen to hear where the designated area is where they will meet their Grade Head Educators.

In 2020 we have the Grade 12 Grade Heads - Mrs Claasen & Mrs Gall; Grade 11 - Mr Turner & Mr Swart; Grade 10 - Miss Swanepoel and Miss Louis; Grade 9 - Mrs Jacobs assisted by Miss Janse van Rensburg (jr) and Grade 8 - Mrs Naidoo & Mrs Baard. They were all busy organising the learners to go to the correct register class.

Ready to go to their Grade Head Educators. "Shine like a diamond"





GRADE 8'S GREET THEIR PARENTS AND MEET THE PRINCIPAL

A landscape photo is the only way to comprehend the anticipation of the Grade 8 parents that greet their children at the gate to meet the Headmistress, Mrs Africa at the front gate on the first school day of 2020.

After the formal and hearty welcome from the principal, the parents greeted the Grade 8's and they had to be ticked off in the register.

 



Mrs Baard calls out the names of the first section and Miss Carolison (left) and Mr Barkhuizen (right) greet the learners as they enter the school building.

 

 



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.
