This week we are rolling out the red carpet for our top achievers with our prize giving ceremonies. We also give feedback on our library awards ceremony that Ms Harris attended. We are already preparing for the 2018 rugby season and we have more good news on the cricket front.
Dit is hierdie week Woensdag en Donderdag ons akademiese en sport prysuitdelings waar ons die top presteerders vir die jaar gaan aankondig en hulle prestasies saam met hulle gesinne vier. Ons sal volgende week spog met name en fotos. Ons sal ook by ons akademiese prysuitdeling die hoof leiers aandkondig vir 2018. Sterkte aan die leerlinge wat die kortlys gehaal het en die afgelope week ‘n streng keurings prosedure meegemaak het.
Ms Harris attended the Library of Excellence awards on Thursday, 12 October, in Pietermartizburg. Although, we did not win any of the awards it was a very interesting and constructive learning experience. We would like to congratulate our neighbours across the road, Mrs Kriel and her library, won third place in the urban section.
By Vhs gaan dit nie net oor onsself nie, maar ook om terug te gee aan die gemeenskap. Hierdie jaar neem ons weer deel aan die ‘’Santa shoebox” waar daar geskenke gegee word aan die minder bevooregte mense. Dis n inisiatief wat deur Juffrou Van den Heever en die “interact club” gedruif word.
We would like to congratulate Sbongakonke Thabede on being selected for the u/19 Kzn Inlands team, that will take part in the CSA Coke week hosted at St Stitians in December.
This is a great achievement and congratulations on all the hard work and dedication that has paid of.
Die netbal en rugby begin ook al hard werk aan die voorbereiding vir volgende seisoen. Met die netbal wat reeds al proewes gehou het en met fiksheid programme begin het, is dit die week die beurt van die rugby wat Dinsdag die senior proewe sal hou. Sterkte aan al die spanne daar en mag julle voorbereiding, vrugte afwerp vir die seiseon wat kom.
Karl Hellberg – Maths Champion of VHS
Karl Hellberg, a grade 12 learner, participated in the National Mathematical Olympiad and has gone through to the third and final round. A 100 seniors from all over South Africa participated and Karl is 1 of 6 seniors in KZN who reached the third round. He will be writing the final round’s Olympiad on 27 July. Karl maintains a 100% average for Maths at school so we are confident he will do very well in the final round.
He is the 4th learner from VHS to obtain this prestigious achievement. Most learners maintain that Maths and Science are their most difficult subjects, but Karl thinks English Home Language is his most difficult subject even though he maintains a 92% average for this subject! Well done Karl – we are very proud of you.
We wish all the learners and educators a blessed holiday and a safe return to school next term. May we all come back with renewed enthusiasm for the second half of this year. Remember the past is but the beginning of a new beginning.
