Welcome Back!!
Welcome back for the start of term 3. This is always a busy time and the pressure mounts for the Matrics in particular but for most with the next round of assessments looming. What a wonderful site greeted the parents and pupils returning from the June holiday. A brand new bore hole at the High School campus with a strong water supply and a second borehole planned for the Foundation Phase this weekend. This development is per kind donation of Anglo American Platinum Mines.

New timetable structure
We have reviewed the timetable structure and have revised it to be more efficient. Lessons are now 55 minutes and 50 on a Friday. The change is to minimise movement and noise, allow for great focus in the classroom, and reduce time lost in the movement between classes. From all accounts it appears to be working well and should contribute to improved teaching and learning.
Prefect evening
Front row: Tanaka Bverkerwa, Ayaan Gangat, Jayasha Zaman, Nicole Mbombi, Mmatapa Ramaahlama, Precious Mahloko and ThatoMathopa
Our new leader group was formally announced on Thursday evening. I would like to thank the outgoing leader group for the contribution and the high standard they set. Our incoming leader group have big shoes to fill but we firmly believe that they will rise to the challenge and continue to follow a proud tradition.
Special congratulations to:
Head Boy: Jovanne Teixeira
Head Girl: Jayasha Zaman
Deputy head Boy: Tavaka Mhlanga
Deputy Head Girl: Thato Mathopa
Thanks to Mrs Teich who coordinated the evening but more importantly, has mentored our past leaders and our incoming leader group. With the assistance of Mr and Mrs Schroder, the values and expectations we have of our leaders are becoming embedded in the role of our prefects.
