FROM THE DESK OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE HIGH SCHOOLS<br />
Dear parents<br />
A warm welcome back to everyone for the Second Term. New timetables have been issued to all the<br />
learners and we are sure that the changes that we have made will have a very positive effect on all our<br />
learners.<br />
Our matrics are starting prelims on Wednesday 17 th <strong>April</strong> <strong>2013</strong> and I am sure they have all been preparing<br />
and are ready to start writing. I am sure that the hard work that they have done will result in their achieving<br />
the excellent results of which they are capable.<br />
We are so proud to congratulate Samuel Cohen in Grade 10 on his wonderful achievement in coming in<br />
the Top 16 of the international Bible Quiz. He will be taking part in the final round next week and we wish<br />
him luck and much success.<br />
The annual Yom Hashoah ceremony in memory of the Six Million Martyrs who perished at the hands of the<br />
Nazis during World War 11 was held on Sunday 7 th <strong>April</strong> <strong>2013</strong> at 10h30 at Martyrs’ Monument, West Park<br />
Cemetary. There were a large number of <strong>Yeshiva</strong> <strong>College</strong> learners at the ceremony. They looked very<br />
smart in their school uniforms and I would like to thank all those who represented the school in such an<br />
appropriately respectful manner.<br />
Please note that Tuesday 16 th <strong>April</strong> is Yom Ha’atzmaut. It is a school day which every student is expected<br />
to attend. Davening will begin at 8.00 a.m. in the main Shul. Learners are to dress in “civvies”. I would like<br />
to remind you that all learners are to dress in a way that is in keeping with the religious ethos of our school.<br />
For girls this means: skirts to cover their knees when sitting, sleeves to their elbows and appropriate neck<br />
lines.<br />
The Zionist Federation is having their annual celebration at Gold Reef City and I would like to encourage<br />
everyone to attend this special event. In order to assist parents, the South African Zionist Federation has<br />
arranged for two buses to transport some of our learners to Gold Reef City. Each of the buses can only<br />
accommodate 60 people, we are offering this opportunity on a first come, first served basis.<br />
There will be adult supervision on each bus and we will take those who book to Gold Reef City and the bus<br />
will also be available to bring them back to <strong>Yeshiva</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
The bus will leave Gold Reef City to return to <strong>Yeshiva</strong> <strong>College</strong> at 18h00 sharp and anyone not on the bus<br />
at this time will be assumed to have made an alternative arrangement to go home and the bus will leave.<br />
A head count will not be taken.<br />
According to the instructions of the Zionest Federation, any learner wishing to travel on the bus must<br />
complete the attached indemnity form. Bookings for the bus must be made with Devora in the Girls’ school<br />
and Teresa in the Boys’ school and signed indemnity forms must be brought to them.<br />
Wishing everybody a wonderful Shabbos and an enjoyable Yom Ha’atzmaut.<br />
Warm regards<br />
Denese Bloch<br />
