From the Headmaster MR DAVID CLARK [email protected]

Dear Parents, Staff News Congratulations are extended to Mr Nic Molyneux who has been selected for the South African Men’s Water Polo team that will be participating in the Olympic qualifier tournament taking place in Italy in April.

Pitcairn Waterpolo Tournament The Dave Pitcairn U14 Co-Ed Waterpolo tournament kicked off yesterday and runs through until Sunday afternoon. There are 30 teams competing in this prestigious Reddam House tournament from schools across the country - so please come along and support the Reddam House teams that are participating.

Inter House Swimming Gala The annual inter house swimming gala is taking place during the last two lessons of the day on Wednesday. Please ensure that your child brings sunblock, a suitable hat, their Reddam sports shorts and their House t-shirt for this event. Dance News Daria Mordvinova (Grade 9), Julia Radowsky (Grade 11) and Caitlin Tanner (Grade 11), have been selected to dance in the South African International Ballet Competition held at Artscape Theatre this month. This prestigious competition involves candidates from all over the world - from Korea to Cuba. The girls have been preparing through the December holiday and they will present two Classical Ballet variations and a Contemporary solo. Besides competing in the evenings the girls will participate in daily classes taught by international teachers. Daria and Caitlin are both members of the Cape Junior Ballet Company under Diane Cheeseman and Julia is a member of the Cape Academy of the Performing Arts with Debbie Turner, under the resident Ballet master, Christopher Alloways-Ramsey. The competition runs from the 22 to 27 February. We wish these talented young dancers all the very best and look forward to watching their progress.
