On Tuesday, 14 March, the girls first team hockey had a very successful, and fun filled shadow evening at the local Spur. They would like to thank all those that supported the team, as well as Christopher and his team of waiters who helped the girls along.
The first team hockey girls are currently fundraising for their Camp Discovery tour that will take place during the Easter Holidays. They have been selling hamburgers on Friday afternoons and would like to thank the community for all their support; every cent is valuable and appreciated. The girls would like to thank Chantelle, and her family from Romans Pizza, who sponsored their shirts for the upcoming tour.
Thank you to the community, parents and learners for supporting our school and helping us to create opportunities and an environment for our learners to strive for greatness in all aspects of life.
This week we have much to be thankful for and we would like to thank the community and learners for their continued support of the school. There were not many activities in the week that passed as the school and staff are busy preparing marks and reports for the end of term. We did, however, celebrate our learners’ creativity with the Art and Poetry evening and the 1st team girls hockey also had a busy Tuesday evening as shadow waiters at Spur.
On Wednesday, 15 March, we hosted our annual Art and Poetry evening, where learners had the opportunity to show case their hand-drawn art and read some of their poetry. The learners’ poetry was heartfelt and sincere, with some learners showing immense talent. Please keep an eye on the school’s website for videos of two of our learners’ most entertaining pieces. Thank you to all the participants, teachers, parents and learners who came to support the evening.
