World peace is something that can be achieved with
perseverance and dedication. It, by definition, is where no country or person on earth wants to be
above another, or where at least no country is trying to induce war. World Peace was His vision,
which started in South Africa and would have gotten further if not for the constraints of mortality.
We honour him in our 67 minutes across this
country; sometimes even in others. We were
directly affected by Mandela's ambition, I am a child
of his mission. That does not matter. If the world
could unite, to combat it's own flaws such as
poverty, war and lack of education; these are
present in every country, every country is part of a
continent and every continent is part of OUR
WORLD. Kyle Sandeman Gr11.
His days are done.
His song has been sung.
His light has shone,
But all we can do Now is follow in his footsteps and we will
Never go wrong. Jadine van Wyk

The following items are needed by the
school:

vegetables, beans for soup.

WISH LIST
A formal day will be introduced in the high
school as opposed to the casual day takes place in most other schools.
On this particular day learners and teachers will dress formally as they would in a
business setting (going for a job interview or
an important business meeting).
Parents and students’ cooperation are
needed to make this a successful event each time that it happens, as it moulds and
prepares our learners for their futures.
We want to give the best education within our
power, however this is difficult when learners do not do their homework, bunk classes, etc.
Detention will now be implemented on a Friday
afternoon and learners will
be notified by Wednesday to give them time to arrange
transport. It is compulsory to attend detention and if
the student is not at school that day they will have to
stay after school for
detention on the day that they return to school.
THANK YOU!
We all work hard at teaching the students; in the office they work hard at making sure the telephone are answered and that communication goes out. Our grounds staff and hostel
staff all have their turn to make their big contribution towards running this school Today, I wish to single out TWO people who, each in their own way, do things that the school cannot go without, but which very few of us actually see.
THANK YOU KEN AND KATLEEN
Thank you to Patience
Ntabeni’s father for promising a truckload of sand for our
amphitheatre floor.
Thank you Sense i for
organising our rugby teams
against the Belgiums.
Thanks to Patrick Laisnez of
Belgium for his big walk
(100km) to aid the finances of our school.
