Dominican Convent School rises to the challenge of teaching and learning in the 21st century

BECOMINGBETTER

THINKERS

dominican convent school magazine 2015 5

Education throughout the world is under increased scrutiny. Policymakers, non-profit think tanks, school administrators, educators, parents and

students are questioning the relevance of the curriculum being taught at schools, and whether Grade 0 to 12 education is preparing learners for the modern world.

In his book, Teaching Digital Natives: Partnering for Real Learning, Marc Prensky proposes that the real aim of education is about “becoming”. For Prensky, education is a process where students become more capable, better thinkers who have a strong ethical and moral compass.

Tony Wagner, Professor of Education at Harvard University, believes that the acquisition of knowledge is no longer sufficient. Although knowledge remains critically important, a modern education system must teach students how best to use the knowledge they acquire. Students need to leave school with the ability to communicate, collaborate and think critically in creative and innovative ways.

I recently read a statistical report that captured the total annual registration of patents by country. The statistics tell an important story about global innovation. Approximately 600 patents are registered annually in South Africa, compared to South Korea where 160 000 patents were registered, and China where 700 000 patents

were registered in the same period. When these patents are spread across each country’s population, one in every 80 000 people register patents in South Africa, one in 2 000 people register patents in China and one in every 300 people register patents in South Korea.

These statistics suggest that our South African education system is not producing enough critical and creative thinkers.

Our challenge as educators is to find the time and the space to teach these essential elements of a 21st-century education. At Dominican Convent School we are actively engaged in offering education that is rigorous, relevant, rooted in a moral imperative to be a community serving humanity. We are excited by the challenges ahead and are deeply committed to providing your child with a 21st-century learning experience.

WE ARE ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN OFFERING EDUCATION THAT IS RIGOROUS, RELEVANT, AND ROOTED IN A MORAL IMPERATIVE TO BE A COMMUNITY SERVING HUMANITY.

CREATINGFUTURE

LEADERSA better future begins with education rooted

in justice, truth


I am very proud of our rich history and traditions. Veritas, our motto, forms a basis of our strong values in all aspects of life in our family and Catholic school. Citizenship and community are key elements of education in South Africa. Our aim at Dominican Convent School is to create future South African leaders who will make a significant contribution.

At Dominican Convent School, we encourage a balanced involvement in all facets of school life – learners are encouraged to do their best in all that they do. Cultural and sporting activities are seen as a valuable extension of academic lessons and integral to a holistic education.

Critical thinking and problem-solving are key components of our learners’ preparation for a successful transition into high school, and independence and organisational skills are fostered from a young age.

Each of your children has brought such joy and happiness to our school. I have been fortunate to have such a wonderful group of children at school this past year. My family and friends often laugh at me when I refer to your children as “my kids”. They are like my own children. They have all touched my life. This school year has been very positive and rewarding in so many ways.

Our vibrant and energetic classrooms are led by passionate and professional educators, who seek to provide a caring and safe environment in which to facilitate the best learning experience in a technology-dominated society. We are highly conscious of the benefits of this in our school, without losing sight of the important tradition of human relationships in teaching.

As I constantly look to celebrate life and learning, I am also reminded that fun and enjoyment are the cornerstone of a successful primary school education.

It has been a pleasure getting to know not only your child, but you as well. Having parental support and open lines of communication is an essential part of any successful school year.

Thank you for all you have done to make my year so fulfilling and memorable.

dalene rostovskyHead, Primary School

MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS OFTEN LAUGH AT ME WHEN I REFER TO YOUR CHILDREN AS “MY KIDS”. THEY ARE LIKE MY OWN CHILDREN. THEY HAVE ALL TOUCHED MY LIFE.

WE HAVE THE PRIVILEGE of spending countless hours in a school where good values are emphatically fed into our culture: values such as discipline and respect. We owe it to ourselves to be cognizant of how we represent our school and personal values to the rest of the world.

Prefects, you are a formidable force, both as individuals and collectively. If your initiative, confidence and consistency is anything to go by, I am excited about the future of Dominican alumni.

YOU SHOULD PURSUE EXCELLENCE

— not your friend, or the person sitting next to you, but you. I encourage you to unleash your full potential in the school and beyond its blue gates.

I would like to thank the school for providing the average student with a platform for learning, for spiritual growth and for imparting the values of truth, love, servitude and hard work in the process.

Thank you educators for your extraordinary patience and years of understanding. You are the giants upon whose shoulders we today stand to see further.

WE GO FORTH NOT IN SEARCH OF THE GOLD BENEATH THE GROUND, BUT IN SEARCH OF THE GOLD IN HUMAN HEARTSDOMINICAN CONVENT SCHOOL FOUNDERS FEBRUARY 1908

107 years agoA group of stalwart Dominican Sisters set forth from their motherhouse in King Williamstown 107 years ago to found a school in the gold boom town, Johannesburg. One of these pioneering educators noted, “We go forth not in search of the gold beneath the ground, but in search of the gold in human hearts.” In February 1908, the Dominican Convent of the Sacred Heart was founded. Now, 107 years later, our students, alumni, educators are still seeking and finding the gold in our students, our community, our country and our world.

Sacred HeartOur Dominican community marked another year in its rich heritage of education, imbued with the pursuit of social justice, reconciliation, and marked by the relentless search for truth.

“The Feast of the Sacred Heart reminded me of the fullness of life through the love of Jesus. We celebrated our 107th

birthday at Mass and shared the love with cupcakes and hot chocolate.” — REFILOE MULEYA, 11S

ConfirmationTwelve Grade 11 learners gave their solemn “Yes” to being an adult in the Christian faith in the Sacrament of Confirmation. His Grace sealed each candidate with the gift of the Holy Spirit. Confirmation marks the completion of the sacraments of initiation. In his homily, his Grace spoke of the legacy of children in the Church, urging the candidates to strive for sanctity by answering God’s call in their lives. The candidates, filled with the Holy Spirit, pledged themselves to an outreach programme for the year.

31 JUL

First CommunionSt Anne’s Church glowed with candlelight and the excitement of young people ready to take the next step in their faith journey. Teachers, sponsors, family, friends and members of the local community formed a community of faith that supported 11 Grade 3 learners from Dominican Convent School, and learners from St Anne’s parish as they pledged their belief and then took part in the sacrament of the Eucharist — the physical reminder of God's love for us, and our call to be people of love.

JESUS CAME INTO MY LIFE. I WAS VERY HAPPY TO BE A CATHOLIC. EVERYONE WAS WEARING WHITE AND THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL. MATHAPELO PHORORO, 4C

25 JUN

18 OCT

BaptismTwelve learners, supported by parents, Godparents and the school community, chose to be disciples of Jesus in the Sacrament of Baptism on 21 June. Learners were urged to keep the light of Christ burning in their lives. The word baptism is derived from a Greek word that means to “plunge”. The word plunge denotes trust, passion and complete surrender. Through Baptism these 12 learners plunged into the love of God. They accepted Christ as their Lord and Saviour. The grace of this sacrament will manifest itself in their passion for Christ.


All of us are familiar with families, the immense joys that this can bring us when we all work together in love, understanding and appreciation. We also know of the shadow sides when we cannot meet each other and need to search for reconciliation. Families give us the start in life and form us into the people we grow up to be. Thus I concentrate today on the Consecrated Life, as this is foreign to many of us.Consecrated Life is usually marked by members living in communities who follow the call of a particular founder. We, Dominican Sisters, aspire to the ideals that St Dominic and St Catherine set 800 years ago. They saw the need to preach and teach the TRUTH of who God is to society. As marriage is sealed by a marriage vow, so Consecrated Life is sealed by the three vows of POVERTY, CHASTITY and OBEDIENCE. These vows mark our way of life and are a real gift that can become a means towards inner freedom.

The Vow of PovertyThis is a strange name for our time. This does not mean to live in poverty or destitution. This would be a curse. It means that we are ready to share whatever we have open-heartedly and open-handedly, as the Acts of the Apostles tells us about the early Christians: “The faithful all lived together and owned everything in common; they sold their goods and possessions and shared the proceeds among themselves according to what each one needed.” (Acts 2:44–45) It is an art not to be stingy but to honestly discern what one needs without getting entangled in riches that strangle the heart! We aim to live simply, that others can simply live and to work with and for the poor as much as this is possible. One actually needs very little to live!

The Vow of ChastityAll Christians are called to live chastity – in purity of mind, heart and body. What does this vow mean to me? It gives me the freedom to wake up in the morning in great joy knowing that I belong to God totally, ready for the new adventure that God has in store for me today. It is something like the sunshine that enters my room on a cold morning and lights it up. What gives me the greatest joy is that it gives me the freedom to be alive, to love freely, deeply, broadly and unpossessively. Every person becomes my brother or sister, and my family extends through the entire world. I belong to everyone and everyone belongs to me. But above all I know that I am called to be a channel of God’s love to everyone.

The Vow of ObedienceThis vow asks of me to listen deeply; be in touch with myself, my community and the world. I am no isolated loner! All people need to find a shelter in my heart.I need to know who I am; I need to know life’s joys and difficulties; to learn to understand myself and the people around me. Every person is a hidden treasure. I need to be open to my needs and the needs of my community, to our directions to work together, to people I work with and to negotiate good solutions to problems. It is an art to learn to be open and honest without hurting others.

What is needed above all for Consecrated Life is a deep attraction, an intuitive knowing that God is calling me to this lifestyle. I need to want to be open to be filled with God’s love through prayer and meditation and then to share this with all my brothers and sisters. Life depends on my reaction to make Consecrated Life rich and meaningful or to let it crumble and eventually allow it to shatter. Life presents challenges to help us to grow wherever we are and whatever we do.

This year, the Church invites us to reflect on the family and Consecrated Life.

GRADE 12 VALEDICTORY MASS

30OCT

The Grade 7s celebrated their final moments of primary school with a special Mass at Regina Mundi in Rockville, Soweto. This Mass marked a transition in the lives of these young Grade 7s as they leave primary school and head to high school next year. Fr Dladla spoke of supporting each other in faith so that each of us can move forward in life and grow in faith and understanding of Christ.

GRADE 7 MASS

WELCOME, FR LETSIEThis year we welcomed a new priest, Fr Letsie Moshoeshoe. We thank God for a gift of a shepherd among us.


GRADE 11 MASS

Each year, the Grade 11s make an annual pilgrimage to the seat of the Archbishop of the Diocese where they celebrate as a collective of Grade 11s from Catholic schools around Johannesburg under one common faith, one Lord and one purpose. The theme this year was celebrating our founders. The experience of this event is one that leaves a lasting impression on the Grade 11 group as friendships are formed and memories created.

Every year, the Catholic Schools Office of Johannesburg endeavours to bring Grade 11 learners from all Catholic schools together to worship, and consider their faith journey. In preparation for the Grade 11 Mass at the Cathedral, a Pilgrimage Cross travels from Catholic school to Catholic school.

Jesus was honest to his people. I thank Him for the Earth and life He has given me. Nothing would be like this without Him in our life. LUTANDO MAKHOBA

I learned about respect and about Mother Mary. We made a cross like a rosary out of paper and made 10 beads for the rosary.ASMA SIBY

I liked the breathing exercise because it made me calm. My favourite part was drawing symbols of respect. TENDY MAKUWERERE

I thought a lot about respect. We must respect all people, not just our friends.CYNTHIA GWANYANYA

MAKINGWRONG

WAYSRIGHT

First ReconciliationDominican students received the Sacrament of Reconciliation with Father Moshoeshoe in preparation for their First Holy Communion. Reconciliation, or confession, is a Catholic sacrament in which the priest, as an agent of God, forgives sins which have been committed, when the sinner is genuinely sorry for them and sincerely confesses them to God. In reconciling with God, grace is restored to the soul. The candidates were rather apprehensive at first, but after their session with Father, left with renewed fervour to live their lives in a better way.

8OCT

Penitential ServiceEach year we celebrate a penitential service during Mass which allows each of us the opportunity to reconcile with God through confessing our sins and transgressions by writing them on a piece of paper and having them burnt by the priest. Following this comes a general absolution which assures us of God’s forgiveness.

ASH WEDNESDAY WAS A GREAT START TO LENT. I FELT CLOSE TO GOD. RECEIVING THE ASHES HELPED ME REFLECT ON WHAT JESUS OVERCAME. MELISSA MATHOBELA, 11W

26 MAR

Ash Wednesday“The season of Lent for me has always been one for the cleansing and purification of the soul. It is a time for one to closely reflect on what one has done within the year prior, that one would like to change to gain a greater closeness with God. Beginning Lent with Ash Wednesday was a good opportunity to focus on the solemnity of the period to come and the symbolism of the season as a whole, and increase the awareness of the importance of Lent to all God's children.”

Over the Term 1 holiday, 57 high school students and nine staff members set off to the UK for a week-long musical tour. Visits to castles, the London West End Theatre, and Oxford University were interspersed with concerts far and wide, including a brief performance for Sir Richard Branson and his guests at the Fast Track 100 Conference. At the opening of the Sherborne Abbey Festival, the audience was swept away by the choir’s emotional tour de force.

Many thanks to the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund, and to the organisers at Rennies Travel, Stowe School, Sherborne School and Dominican, whose countless hours of planning made the tour such a success.

Catholic Schools Choir FestivalPrimary school choir director, Joey Masemola, and high school choir director, Rosalia Motha, led inspired performances of traditional music for the assembled Catholic School learners. The highlight of the morning was when the Dominican High School choir taught a song to more than 1 000 learners, which was then performed under the direction of Ms Motha. It was a wonderful morning that will be remembered by many for a long time.

Waterford Khambula Choir Workshop The Dominican High School choir and the Waterford choir spent the morning teaching each other songs and working on joint choir, drum and marimba performance items. The visit culminated in an assembly performance where both choirs shared the stage and entertained the high school. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful melodies. It was difficult to say goodbye. A strong bond was established between the two schools and we hope to make this an annual cultural exchange between

the two schools.

Alive with DanceAfter building a strong tradition of ballet over many decades, Dominican expanded its Contemporary Dance offering for high school students in 2015. The instructor, Mr Ellington, became a Ballet Master and established the Soweto Dance Theatre in 1994. He has danced with the State Theatre Ballet Troupe and the Modern Arts Foundation. In recent years he has directed choreography and productions at Sun City.

Top NEA AwardsThe Contemporary gumboot dance troupe headed to its first National Eisteddfod at Eastgate Primary School. The dancers earned high praise from the adjudicators, and the group received a diploma for their performance, and an invitation to attend the NEA Young Performers Showcase for Eastern Gauteng. The dancers’ performance at the Young Performers Showcase earned an NEA Ambassador Award, placing the group in the top 3% of all the National entries in 2015.

BalletBallet — with its special blend of costume, music and movement — is a uniquely uncanny form of artistic expression. It bypasses the limitations of language and rationality to speak directly to the emotions, allowing for the communication of vague, affective, complex and unconscious states.

Mahlako Mothapo (12V) started ballet with Ms Baskerville when she was seven years old. Her first exam was a pre-primary exam where they were presented with a certificate stating pass or fail. Thereafter, she has passed with a distinction every year. To do one major exam takes two to three years.

It may not be easy but it requires dedication, dedication, dedication.

KOFIFI

I WAS MOVED BY HOW WELL MY FELLOW LEARNERS COULD RE-CREATE SUCH AN HISTORICAL EVENT.TSHEPISO MOLIKI, 11

On Wednesday, 23 June and Thursday, 24 June 2015, the DCS Drama department produced an adaptation of Junction Avenue Theatre Company’s Sophiatown.

“Kofifi” is another name for Sophiatown— the mid-20th century South African hub of culture, jazz, music, gangsters, fahfee games, shebeens and the Drum magazine.

In 1955, the apartheid government decided to bulldoze houses in Sophiatown, as they felt the residents were a threat to the city centre. And so, homes were bulldozed and people were sent to Meadowlands, which was an area for African people. People were killed. Houses were lost.

Sixty years later, our Dominican Convent high school learners re-told the story of “Kofifi” on stage. The tale of love and belonging came to life as performed by a star cast. The audience responded with tears and laughter, and walked away reminded of the long journey we have made in this nation toward peace, justice and reconciliation.

ABOUT THE ART PROJECTS

As part of their Religious Education, Grade 6 learners created models of different houses of worship. By sharing their creations, the learners are able to see and share the beauty of the religions of the world.


Our Path ABOUT THE ART PROJECTS

Each year, Grade 6 learners are tasked with creating a pair of f lip f lops as a part of the Arts and Culture curriculum. More than an exercise in shoemaking, the f lip f lops are an exploration of self-expression. Each learner chooses mate-rials that best ref lect their personality and when finished both f lip f lops are labelled, the right with a list of likes and the left with a list of dislikes. The finished product is pre-sented to the rest of the class, allowing the learners to learn more about their classmates and themselves.

Trying to fix the problems in under-resourced communities can be overwhelming. We often do not know where to begin, so we provide for people’s basic human needs: food, warmth, clothes and shelter. These are only temporary solutions. South Africans need ways to develop their skills and knowledge so they can find meaningful work.

Ten years ago, Dominican Convent School began a journey of empowerment when it facilitated the founding of the Kgosi

Neighbourhood Foundation (KNF). KNF has offered more than 600 neighbourhood children free pre-school education. This year KNF began sewing and other crafting projects to empower the people of the community.

Join us on this journey of empowerment. If you, or your company, would like to find out how you can make an impact in the local community, contact [email protected].

Johannesburg’s gold mines ran out. Many managers and engineers living in the community sought work overseas. In the 1970s, the neighbourhood became home to working-class immigrants from Europe and Asia. As these skilled labourers found success, they moved to more affluent Johannesburg neighbourhoods.

Since 1994, many of the vacated homes were purchased by landlords who sought to house many families in one house. Though less than ideal, the homes are a welcome refuge to immigrants who would otherwise live on the streets.

These families survive by any means necessary, in hopes of finding a life better than the one they left behind.

They live in hope.

Interact Club

Before I joined the Interact Club, I thought it was quite a “boring club” but I was not right. Being around the Interact members has really brought the better person out of me. We had things like the Easter egg drive, reading with the primary learners, picking up litter and painting the Marshall house and with this, new friendships were made, not only with the learners but with our mentor

Mrs Chanetsa, who is kind, patient and loving and taught us respect, understanding and to reach out to those everywhere. We had a few mishaps such as our attempt to start a blanket drive but unfortunately we failed and hopefully next year we will succeed. I hope that the things we have learnt within Interact can be implemented in our everyday lives.PALESA LEGODI, 11S

HOMEAWAYFROM HOMELIFE AS A MATRICULANT IS BOTH EASIER AND HARDER IN THE BOARDING HOUSE.THERE IS A SILVER LINING: TIME. I DON’T THINK I WOULD HAVE MADE IT THROUGH THIS YEAR WITHOUT BEING A BOARDER. ABILE MOLEBATSI, 12M

I have been in the boarding house since last year. At first it was really hard for me to cope without my

parents. Being in the boarding house taught me so many things, like being independent and being able to share almost everything with my dorm-mates. If you are in the boarding house, you have more advantages to improve your marks because there are teachers who stay in the boarding house, so you can have extra lessons after school hours.

I enjoy the boarding house because I can get all the help I need from dorm-mates. In the boarding house you get to socialise with other people and learn about other people’s cultures since we are all from different countries. I couldn’t imagine my life without being in the boarding house because my life is mainly in the boarding house and it will always be that way.

NATASHA MADIGWE KGAPHOLA, 9L

My name is Jabu and I am currently in Grade 5. I came to the boarding house in 2011

at the age of 8 as a termly boarder with my three cousins. Today, in 2015, the boarding house has been great. We have been going on fun trips and I am doing well at school. I am getting high marks for my subjects and I study every day and do my homework in the boarding house. I play basketball Monday to Friday and I play for a local club team called the Belgravia Vikings.

JABULANI LEBEWANE, 5B

I began my boarding experience in Grade 9. I was quite a handful but Mr Moore and the rest of the

boarding staff managed to whip me (not literally) into a functional, responsible young woman. The boarding house is a safe haven of love, hard work and wholesome Catholic values. I will cherish every memory and lesson I have learnt during my time here.

ABILE MOLEBATSI, 12M

Life at boarding school during the year 2015 has seriously been accommodating. It has allowed

me to have more time to myself so that I can focus on my main goal, which is to leave Dominican Convent with integrity and results that open doors to my future. The ability to interact with friends, both socially and academically is one of the factors that can allow me to think of this place as home. This year was a roller coaster ride, and being in the boarding house made life easier and more enjoyable.

Boarding school is certainly a place that has given me more space to grow as an individual. I call it boarding school because essentially, learning is not left in the classrooms, and one finds that one is always learning something new at boarding school. This year has been one of the greatest years of my six years in boarding school, with the consistent upgrades ensuring comfort and pleasure for students.SMANGA MTHETHWA, 12V

Boarding


BEING A BOARDER TEACHES YOU TO BE INDEPENDENT AND HOW TO INTERACT WELL WITH OTHERS. I AM MORE SELF-RELIANT AND AWARE THAT THE PEOPLE AROUND ME WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR ME.ZANELE HLONGWANE, 11W

My name is Davis Kelvin Massala and I’m from Mozambique. I’m attending Grade 9 at Dominican

Convent School, a boarding school. When I first came to Dominican I was in Grade 8 and I didn’t have the experience of being a boarder. I thought that being a boarder was the same as being in jail as my friends from Mozambique told me. Along the way I made a choice, to really see what the boarding house is like and from making that choice I learned a lot of good things. My life on the first day was very difficult, my English was bad so I was not able to communicate, the food was very strange and I was very lonely. I met people who also didn’t know how to speak English and we shared ideas and read books to improve our English skills. By meeting new people, everything started to change in my life. I got used to the food, I made South African friends, and I even learned some words in their language. Towards the end of the year I stopped to think and saw a big improvement in my life. I could see a lot of difference in myself and I was more comfortable and I was also impressed with the way the teachers take care of the learners, always there to help. Now I’m in Grade 9 and I’m very proud to be a Dominican student, friends to help me and also proud to be a Khulekhani member. In the boarding house I have more opportunities of having a bright future.

DAVIS MASSALA, 9K

My boarding house life this year has been one wild and rocky ride. There were lots of tears,

mountains full of giggles and plenty of memories to last one a lifetime. This year, the boarding house transformed into a beautiful place when we received new curtains, lockers, a shiny new floor mat and lots of new sisters and brothers to extend our Dominican family. The quality of food has improved, too, and the boarding house is truly a place to call home. Our dorm parents can be hard on us, but I know that was their way of showing the care and love they have for us. Like our actual parents, they helped us settle in and feel comfortable with our

“home away from home” and we owe them thanks. Our marks as a boarding house have improved because the boarding house has a very good studying environment. This year will be one to remember.

BONTLE MALEBO, 9K

Living in Harare and coming to be a full-term boarder at Dominican Convent School, seemed impossible

at the start. The worries about how I would settle in and how I would make friends, soon ended up as not being worries anymore. The boarding house allowed me to turn the worrying thoughts into opportunities to make myself a better person, opportunities to make a home for myself and opportunities to be an ambassador for my country. With this in mind, l ventured out to learn new cultures, new languages and make new friends. The boarding house has truly allowed me to grow into a better person over the years and it has sincerely made a home away from home for me. They say “Home is where the heart is”, but for me home is where you find joy in living and that for me is in the boarding house.

I WAS AMAZED BY THE BEAUTY OF THE PARIS THEME. THE NIGHT WAS A GRAND EXPERIENCE.ZAMA MADONSELA, 12B

PROUDLYAFRICAN

Heritage Day was celebrated at Dominican in fine style. Students in traditional dress celebrated South Africa’s rich cultural history through poetry, music and dance.

Amid the celebration, I paused and wondered if we, as South Africans, value the original intention behind Heritage Day: to be a celebration of our diverse past, and recognise the contributions of South Africans in shaping our democratic society. On Heritage Day we should revel in our past achievements as a nation and use these achievements to inform our present and our future.

Are we truly doing this? Are we celebrating our heroes for who they were and for what they achieved? Are we building their legacy?

At times, it seems we have reduced our heroes’ achievements to a place in history books for students to ponder.

23SEP

South Africa is one of the most unequal nations in the world and I fear that we are in danger of forgetting what made us the “Rainbow Nation”. Our Spirit of Ubuntu seems to have been consigned to the far reaches of our minds. In its place we have become self-focused and self-absorbed, only coming together in our diversity on sporadic occasions.

The unofficial renaming of Heritage Day to that of National Braai Day suggests that we have trivialised the original intention behind this day. We stand on the cusp of relegating that which made us unique as a country, that which captured the world’s attention, that which made us burst with pride, to the textbooks of academia.

Heritage Day should be a reminder of exactly what it took to become the “Rainbow Nation”. We must fiercely guard, protect and live the ideas that our founding members fought so hard to achieve.

That changed after Bopela received a strong foundation of free pre-school education at the Kgosi Neighbourhood Foundation, which in turn led to an opportunity to attend Dominican Convent School. Like many Dominican students, Bopela was introduced to basketball at a young age. His innate ability, passion and practice ensured his success on the court. Further counsel and instruction from Coach Elvis led Bopela to be selected for the U16 South African National Team in early 2015.

Upward BoundFAST LEARNER Ntoyami Bopela (9N) defends against one of the Soweto Panthers in a test National Team practice match.

IT WAS AN OVERWHELMING EXPERIENCE TO WATCH NTOYAMI PLAY IN THE NATIONAL COLOURS, KNOWING HIS ORIGIN FROM SUCH HUMBLE BEGINNINGS.COACH ELVIS UKPONG

On 20 May, the U16 national team took part in a practice game against the Soweto Panthers professional side. Coach Elvis, who was cheering Bopela on, said, “It was an overwhelming experience to watch him play in the national colours, knowing his origin from such humble beginnings.” The match was the fourth game that Bopela has played for South Africa in preparation for the Afrobasket U16 qualification tournament in Botswana.

Growing up in a humble home, and a Jeppestown neighbourhood filled with many social challenges, Ntoyami Bopela’s (9N) chances for success may have seemed small at birth.

The fast break and cutting slashing attack of the Nelson Mandela School of Mozambique proved no match for DCS U16s who won 35–27. In addition to winning the championship trophy, U16 team member Jonathan Baruti was named the tournament MVP.A week after the DCS boys U16 basketball team took home the trophy, the DCS U18 boys took to the courts in the St John’s International Basketball Tournament. DCS advanced to the plate semi–final with five wins and three losses through the first two rounds. The boys lost a fiercely contested semi–final 52–61 to St Charles but bounced back to defeat King Edward’s School 32–23 to secure third place in the plate division and 11th overall in the tournament. U18 team member Jonathan Baruti finished third in the slam dunk contest.

Wendywood ChampionsThe 2015 Wendywood Annual Sports Festival was a fun–filled experience for all who participated. The atmosphere was electric! The Soccer boys and girls, as well as the netball girls, could be heard singing while alighting from their various buses. After a brief staff meeting, we were set to go.

Our boys and girls took charge of the basketball tournament by winning all matches in the group stages and crossing into the top pool to win their semi–final matchups. The arrival of Wezi Chirwa and Mario Antonio from the Catholic Schools Soccer festivals bolstered our benches going into the final games. The DCS girls lost the final match against Norkem Park, while the boys went on to defeat The Hill High School 27–11 to win the 2015 Wendywood Basketball Tournament.

City ChampionsThe Dominican High School basketball season concluded with both the U14 and U16 boys hoisting the 2015 GSBC City Championship trophy.

The journey to the podium began with the defeat of Crawford Sandton, 39-10. In the quarter-finals DCS took on Deutsche International Schule Johannesburg in a lopsided victory, 30-7. On Saturday, 17 October, Dominican headed to the University of Johannesburg for semi-finals. DCS U14 defeated Marist Brothers Linmeyer 32-15, while the U16 team overcame Wendywood High 33-6. In the final, the U14 boys defeated Bishop Bavin School 24-18, and the U16 boys defeated Marist Brothers Linmeyer 29-11.

Driving ForwardWe started 2015 with a goal, and we had something to prepare for. We knew that the girls with passion and love of the game in their hearts would be eager to start the season. We practised extremely hard and although we lost some of our games, the confidence we built at practice taught us how to fight till the end. One of our greatest opportunities this year was playing at the prestigious St Peter’s Tournament. It was a tough competition, the girls played hard, and we learnt several lessons that we will carry forward with us into the next season.

“Basketball has been great. Being able to engage with the diverse number of girls who love what they do on the courts has been a pleasure. I learnt that the person you are in general is far more important than who you are as a basketball player.”ULEMU PADZUWA, 8L

“This year’s basketball season has been tough; however, as a team we worked hard together and reached our goals, despite the potholes along the way. We have fought, we have played, we have succeeded and we have strived to be the best basketball players we can be.”

NONHLANHLA MACLARE, 10S

THIS BASKETBALL SEASON HAS BEEN LIKE NO OTHER. WE CONQUERED EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL BOUNDARIES. WE GREW, BOTH INDIVIDUALLY AND AS A TEAM. THE GIRLS WILL RETURN NEXT SEASON WITH ENERGY AND FERVOUR, EXCITED AND DETERMINED TO PLAY BALL.IMANI NYEZI, 10C

“The basketball girls have had a hectic year, both in and out of season. Between preparing for tournaments and attending the St Peter’s tournament for the first time, our performance throughout the year is one we should be proud of.” CASSANDRA MODISE, 11S

“We’ve had to learn that as a team we could not rely on individual talent and skills to win the games but we needed to work together and communicate, in order for us to play more effectively and efficiently.”

St Benedict’s Soccer FestivalWe were all geared up and braved the icy weather on Friday, 5 June 2015. We arrived at Ravens Park in Linbro Park. Our first match was against CBC School, losing 2-1, and thereafter we played St Peter’s Boys and were defeated 4-0. On Saturday, our team was short-handed when we played the Alex Team and lost 4-0. We played our last match against St Dunstans and won 4-1.

“Thank you to all the coaches for encouraging us to play with heart.”

2015 WAS A YEAR OF GOALS, GOALS and more goals for the Dominican Girls’ soccer teams. After four matches, Dominican Convent was unbeaten and had scored 22 goals without reply in two of their League fixtures.

The success continued at the Inter-Catholic Soccer Festival, where the Open girls finished in first place, undefeated.

Given their total domination on the pitch, Dominican Convent had to seek more challenging foes. They found them at the St Peter’s Tournament, and in the playoffs of the JVW Girls Soccer League, the almost perfect season, founded on seven wins, was over.

The U15 girls team took their cue from the first team's success and ended the year unbeaten. The girls continued to develop their skills and increase their knowledge of the beautiful game.

Inter-Catholic ChampionsSeventeen Catholic schools participated in the festival. Fierce matches on the courts strengthened our team and unified our netball play. We were put into four pools and played four other schools. Our first match was against Assumption Convent School and we were all excited. We tried our best but lost 3-7. The friendly Lourdes Primary School was our next opponent and our team played with keen competition. Victory was ours as we scored 8-0. St Teresa’s and St Dominic’s Boksburg were worthy opponents as well, but we played with true DCS spirit and beat both teams 12-1 and 15-0 respectively.

Reaching for SuccessWhat started as a rushed and cold winter morning turned out to be a fantastic day for Dominican Convent School’s netball girls on Saturday, 6 June. Getting lost on the way to the school, changing in the bus so we could hit the court running, did not stop the girls from winning every single one of their games, to come out on top in the end.

The first match started off in disaster with the girls running on to the field moments after the whistle was blown. The other team was going to play without us and win because we were not on time. Our shooters were nervous and the defenders were not defending well. We almost lost hope from the word go, but fortunately we settled down and played our best. We won our first game and every game that followed and we were awarded the overall winners of the tournament!

Our coach’s advice and teamwork paid off, our confidence levels rising higher with each match we won. We walked away with our heads held high and gold medals around our necks!

For the second time in three years, the Junior Boys volleyball team has been crowned regional champions after representing Gauteng’s D9 region at the Winter Games. The team rose to the top after convincing victories over Chief Luthuli School, Ekurhuleni South and Geluksdal Secondary School.

The road to the finals required discipline and dedication, and required Dominican to defeat volleyball powerhouses Midrand High School and Queens High School.

On 1 August, the boys carried the Gauteng Central flag to the Provincial Championships where they faced stiff opposition. DCS played round-robin games. The final tournament results were so close they had to be determined by margin of victory. Dominican finished second in the province, and the boys were awarded silver medals for their efforts.BRIGHTON NKOMO, COACH

Over the term break, Rodney Moses (11W) attended the World Scouts Jamboree in Japan with 34 000 other scouts from more than 140 countries. The Scouts Movement aims to help young people develop physically, mentally and spiritually, in order that they may be constructive in society. Much of a scout’s time is focussed on the outdoors and developing survival skills. This creates the resilience required for high achievement and leadership.

After returning from Japan, Moses reflected: “I have grown as a person. I was honoured to be made the patrol leader and exercise my leadership skills with scouts from around the world”.

PROGRESSIVEEDUCATION


Results from the Grade 12 IEB supplementary examinations have confirmed that the learners who wrote Matric in 2014 have achieved Dominican’s first 100% IEB pass. A long journey has taken place to reach this result. Since the first matriculants wrote the IEB exams in 2008, Dominican has been improving its pass rate and the quality of results attained.

The school has seen a tremendous increase in the number of learners passing with a Bachelor’s Degree (university entrance) pass. None of this would have been possible without the hard work and professional development of Dominican educators, and increased rigour from the learners.

Academic success does not come easily. It cannot be taken for granted. As we celebrate this historic Dominican milestone, we look forward to the Class of 2015 results, hopeful that we can move from strength to strength.

RollingUp OurSleeves

CHILDREN LOOK FOR AN APP OR A BUTTON TO PUSH

RATHER THAN ACCEPTING AT TIMES

YOU HAVE TO ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES, TAKE

COURAGE AND BE RESILIENT.

GRAHAM HOWARTH EXECUTIVE HEADMASTER

One of the key imperatives of any good education system should be the character development of the child.

Children should leave school with the ability to take their place in the wider world as well-functioning individuals. The teaching staff at Dominican Convent School spend a good deal of their time instilling core values in our students in order to prepare them for life after school.

As a Catholic School that believes in the gospel values of truth, justice, reconciliation, love, hope and joy, we recognize both the need and urgency of these values in our modern society.

During the course of this year a new imperative was introduced into the teaching and learning culture of the school, and that is resilience. It can be argued that in this fast technological age with its insistence on instant gratification, young people are in danger of losing this essential personal characteristic.

Children look for an app or a button to push rather than accepting at times you have to roll up your sleeves, take courage and be resilient.

The diligence mark introduced this year is, however, more than an attempt to develop a resolute spirit in our children. Its intended outcome should be to affirm children and to make them feel worthy, in a world that teaches children that to be worthy you have to satisfy certain criteria as determined by society.

This is a fundamental problem facing our youth as they try to live up to the often superficial and shallow value system dictated by social media, glossy magazines, television, films and the like.

As human beings we feel good about ourselves when we know that which we have produced or accomplished is the best that we can do.

This simple philosophy has deep-rooted psychological and emotional consequences. It allows us to feel good about who we are and it also develops in us the confidence to pursue our goals in life. Life does reward the resilient, the strong, the hardy and those with tough characters and this, coupled with our natural God

-given ability, adds up to a formula for success.

Each student should therefore demand a diligence mark of 5, for more than our best we cannot do. As parents we should also demand from our children this same outcome, as we too should delight in our children performing at such a high level and developing this essential life tool.

— GRAHAM HOWARTH — EXECUTIVE HEADMASTER

Maths Challenge

Nearly 200 mathematicians from local primary schools converged at Dominican, ready to test their mathematical skills. The second annual Maths Challenge was under way.

Learners were expected to answer challenging individual questions and each school had to present to parents, teachers and fellow students in the school hall. Presentation topics included three-dimensional shapes, sides of cones and circles, exponents and fractions.

Congratulations to Montrose Primary School, the 2015 Maths Challenge winners. Thank you to our generous sponsors: Zenex Foundation, Shuter and Shooter Publishers, Mrs Rubenstein, and Mr Lioul.

In 2012, the first case of iSchool iPads donated by BMW and MINI made their way into primary school maths classes. In the hands of an educator like Mr Darryl Bimray, who is passionate about Maths and Technology, the iPads have transformed the way Maths is taught in the Dominican Primary School.

In 2014, Dominican partnered with the Trans-year Maths and English assessment programme, where learners in the primary and high school are assessed to determine gaps in their Math and English education. After identifying areas of learner improvement—for example bonds,

times tables, percentages, fractions, or decimals — iPad apps are used to provide personalised reinforcement that progresses at the learner’s own pace.

Over the past two years, Mr Bimray has seen a tremendous improvement in maths results. Maths intervention is now seen as a fun place to learn and grow, not a punishment. That has everyone smiling.

Enthusiastic young scientists from 15 schools in the greater Johannesburg area spent 14 March gathered at the Dominican Convent School hall engaged in scientific discovery. Dominican’s inaugural Grade 7 Festival of Science included a test of science knowledge, a chemical test for starch, an investigation of the combustion of steel wool in oxygen, and the construction and wiring of a model house. The assembled scientists demonstrated their collaborative problem-solving skills, making new friends along the way.

Learners, parents and educators all agreed that the festival achieved its aims in stimulating interest in science, developing problem-solving skills, and increasing the contact top primary school science programmes have with each other.

At the end of 2006, Richard Branson invited Mike Parsons to the Branson Centre of Entrepreneurship in Johannesburg, South Africa. The trip opened Mike’s eyes to both the challenge and potential of South Africa. Housed in the building where Nelson Mandela had his first law office, Mike had the feeling of being part of something quite historic. The students were some of the most motivated and hardworking you can imagine, in spite of coming from hugely deprived backgrounds. It struck Mike, as indeed it had struck Richard Branson, that South Africa needed to work its way out of poverty. To achieve that, it required entrepreneurs and leaders backed by education and capital. Stowe School is about producing the leaders and entrepreneurs of the future and Mike realised that underprivileged learners from South Africa could take so much from a Stowe experience and that Stowe itself could benefit from being exposed to the challenges and opportunities of Africa.

The South African Scholars’ Programme at Stowe, now in its eighth year, has a unique set of experiences that enables the scholars to return home to lead and innovate within their country. Along the way an exposure to South Africa, its culture and history adds much to the Stowe community in return. We have Mike and Richard to thank for setting up this innovative programme between Dominican Convent School and Stowe School.

Each year Stowe invites five Grade 9 learners to study at Stowe for the academic year. The first intake of learners is now leaving further education/university. So looking to the future, it is very exciting to have followed their progress having returned to South Africa to continue their education at Dominican and to go on to further their education.

Nex year, on my return in August, I will endeavour with the Staff at DCS to bring all the past and present learners together to discuss the way forward to

set up a supporting South African Old Stoic Society.

Peet du Toit, Brian Hart and Ben Mercer, who has succeeded Colin Dudgeon as campaign director here at Stowe, has wonderful ideas for the programme’s future, not only in the learners’ academic life but in their careers and life thereafter. I very much look forward to my return in August to pick up my role in supporting the following year’s leavers and the newcomers for the next academic year.MRS CLARE HILL-HALLSTOWE SCHOOL

We have been researching fascinating inventions in the Technology class. I researched a solar-powered car and made a model car that only moves in the sunlight. The car body is made from a cooldrink can. When the solar panel is facing the sun, the panel converts the solar energy into electricity, which powers the car to move. The motor limits the amount of electricity, so that the car cannot move too fast.KATLEHO KOENANE, 7P

Alternative EnergyIn a world where load-shedding and power shortages are an unfortunate reality, it’s vital that we find new ways to power our lives. At Dominican, Grade 7 learners explore alternative forms of creating electricity as a part of their Technology curriculum. Each learner is given the chance to build a working model of their chosen source of energy, from solar-powered cars to generators powered by wind turbines.

Learners in the pre-school celebrated authors, books, and the joy of reading by dressing up as their favourite book characters. Popular choices included Captain Hook, the Gingerbread Man and Little Red Riding Hood. The dress-up day reinforced the importance of building a foundation of reading for pleasure and for the development of intellectual curiousity. Literacy is more important than it ever was in the modern world, where reading often consists only of scanning condensed text messages, emojis and tweets.

Culture of Reading


Learner DriversOn Monday, 22 June, Grade 1 learners had to demonstrate their knowledge of road safety by driving a battery-operated car. Over the past weeks, as part of their safety programme, the learners had been studying the rules of the road, seatbelt safety, and to look right, left and right again before crossing a road. This knowledge was put to the test in front of peers and educators, when the learners climbed onto quad-bike "cars" and were monitored as they drove laps around a track. The learners quickly discovered driving is not as easy as it looks!

“The car could go really fast but I had to step on the yellow petrol pedal.”ETHAN BENJAMIN, 1A

Grade 1 learners journeyed to the Douglasdale Dairies on Tuesday, 24 March. Upon arrival, Ms Melissa took the learners on a tour of the dairy factory and told the learners about the dairy farm. The Grade 1s had the opportunity to touch and feed two calves, named Dougie and Dale. The learners later said:

“We saw how they put the milk in the bottles and the crates. We had lots of fun playing on the grass and eating our lunches.”
