SEPTEMBER 2018 | THIRD TERM | VOLUME 1 # 30

Last week we celebrated International Marine Week and a big thank you to Mrs Viviers and Mrs

Mabhena in The Hive who held special ocean video showings every break during the week to highlight

and create an awareness of the need to look after our oceans.

Looking back at this past week, we established yet another tradition. Our Early Years Centre concert

was an absolute delight for all who were privileged to see it – and it was even live-streamed on our

Facebook page so that it could be viewed from afar. There were proud moments for many as the

extended family arrived to watch with bated breath how their little darlings performed on stage.

Grade 6 students were invited to apply to be part of the Johannesburg Mini Council. Students were

asked to complete a questionnaire and were interviewed by a panel comprising Mr Mitchell, Mr Bhengu

and me. It was a difficult decision, but only 6 students could be selected to attend the Johannessburg

Mini Council Leadership Dinner. Congratulations to Thandolwethu Cele, Luke Groeneveld, India Josias,

Jessica Lloyd, Serumula Mathekga, and Cameron Oshry on their selection. We thank our current

representatives on the Johannesburg Mini Council, Ethan Borrageiro and Nehelo Malebo, who did

Steyn City School proud at every meeting.

Our U11 Boys Cricket team won their first match this week by 8 wickets. Well done to them!

As we continue to raise funds for an end of year gift for our support staff, a reminder that the last

Civvies Day will be held on Friday 26 October. The theme is “Happy Hat Day” and students may wear a

crazy, whacky hat of their choice for the day for a minimum donation of R20.

THE NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD OF SOUTH AFRICA 2018 MS CLEGG

Over the past two months, several of our students participated in two Arts Festivals in Johannesburg.

The National Eisteddfod and the Creative Arts Festival offer students the opportunity to gain

performance experience and develop their talents in a variety of categories. For many of our students

this was the first time that they had performed publicly and the first time that they had attempted to

present items such as unprepared courtesy speeches, comic monologues, ensemble items, narrative

poems or instrument solos. They received constructive feedback from the adjudicators and the students

gained valuable skills whilst preparing for these performances.
