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

FROM THE SMARTYBOX

The following items are needed by the

school:

Feeding scheme: milk for breakfast, bread spreads,

vegetables, beans for soup.

Plants and seedlings for hostel garden.

Help with maintenance of buildings.

Toilet and shower for volunteers apartment.

16 seater minibus.

Materials (sand, etc.) for amphitheatre.

Gym equipment for hostel (weights, etc.)

Involvement of parents

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.
