Dear Parent(s) / Guardian(s)<br />
“DEVIATION FROM NATURE<br />
IS DEVIATION FROM HAPPINESS”<br />
Samuel Johnson<br />
The Senior Management Team went to Picardi, Somerset West, on a team-building exercise.
1) ACADEMICS<br />
Today marks the end of our 3 rd week at school this year. In these 3 weeks the school has<br />
been extremely busy. To-date the majority of our textbooks have been processed, our testing<br />
programme begins next week, our first cricket games have resulted in some good wins, and<br />
the athletics program is making good progress.<br />
Next Friday, 13 February, is our Inter-schools’ athletics meeting in Stellenbosch. Details of<br />
this event will be published for the information of parents.<br />
Our<br />
attachment.<br />
for this year will be sent to parents in its full format as an email pdf<br />

We at <strong>Fairmont</strong> strive to offer every student the opportunity to expand their potential in a field<br />
other than that of the scholastic perspective.<br />
Our activities are innovative and not only will they have an impact on the learner’s selfawareness<br />
and self-esteem, but they will also bear fruit outside of the school portals.
INTERACT – Lend a helping hand! Here your focus will be on assisting the less<br />
privileged in our community and also creating an awareness of the social problems<br />
they face.<br />
GRAPEVINE – Read all about it! Join the team who produces the school<br />
newspaper. Aspiring young journalists and photographers required.<br />
PUBLIC SPEAKING - What’s your view? Members not only focus on debating<br />
issues, but also on learning public speaking skills and building confidence, selfesteem<br />
and self-image.<br />
SOUND AND LIGHTING – Lights, action! Develop your talents and skills to<br />
effectively facilitate and host functions along with providing a service to the school<br />
for their events or assemblies.<br />
DANCING – Move to the beat! Learn how to dance, improve co-ordination,<br />
rhythm, confidence and creativity.<br />
HOSPITALITY – A function is on the cards! Acquire the skills and knowledge of<br />
events planning, table etiquette and hosting.<br />
PHOTOGRAPHY – Smile! Learn how to capture those special moments from<br />
behind the lens.<br />
GREEN - Recycle! Reduce! Re-use! A society that creates an awareness around<br />
energy saving, preserving natural resources, litter on school grounds, sustainable<br />
developments (Green buildings) and letting waste work for you.<br />
DRAMA – Take your cue! An alternative to the Annual Production for those who<br />
are interested in the performing arts.<br />
CHOIR – Let your voice be heard! A platform enabling students to perform<br />
together to develop their singing abilities as individuals and also as a group to<br />
represent <strong>Fairmont</strong> in various settings.<br />
M5 – Let your light shine! Here learners are encouraged to live out their Christian<br />
faith and in so doing, to be an encouragement to one another and to demonstrate<br />
the love of Jesus Christ at <strong>Fairmont</strong> and in the community.<br />
ADVENTURE – Ready for anything! Pack your bags! Participate in various<br />
adventure events.<br />
FILM AND THEATRE APPRECIATION – Have you seen? Attend and discuss<br />
theatre productions and films.<br />

also focus on English literature appreciation.<br />

learners are introduced to the world of investing: trade, stockbroking, the JSE,<br />
interaction with business, and so forth.<br />
FASHION – Project runway! Investigate trends in the fashion industry from a<br />
design prospective.<br />

All pupils are required to be at school at the regular time - 07h55 - even if they are not writing<br />
a test. This time will be used for consolidation or tasks organized by various subject<br />
departments.<br />
All parents are asked to please be aware that when your child misses a Monday or a<br />
Thursday test, a relevant chemist slip (the date on the slip must pertain to the pupil’s<br />
absenteeism and medication bought), a certificate from the clinic or a doctor’s certificate is<br />
required. A medical certificate from either the clinic or the doctor is applicable for missing<br />
any exam. A note from you excusing your child from school for the days missed is also<br />
required.<br />
Grade 9 and Matric pupils must produce a doctor’s certificate for tests and exams missed<br />
as these are the two exit phases and their marks are externally moderated by the Education<br />
Department.<br />
Learners are not allowed to go home immediately after a test if they are ill. They have to<br />
stay until first break. If they are ill, then they should not come to school. A doctor’s<br />
certificate will be required.

14) LIBRARIAN’S CHOICE<br />
A HISTORY OF LONELINESS by JOHN BOYNE<br />
Father Odran Yates is a good man. Dedicated to his vocation since<br />
entering Clonliffe College seminary at seventeen, he has lived through<br />
betrayal, controversy and public condemnation of some of his dearest<br />
friends. Through all of this, he has remained firm in his belief.<br />
But something plagues his mind as the years pass. A feeling that there<br />
were things he didn’t see, chances he missed. People he has let down. Is<br />
Father Yates as blameless as he’s always thought himself to be? And what<br />
of the Church he has given his life to?<br />

Please join us for a glass of wine and a brief introduction to the Parent Forum, as well as an<br />

Date: Wednesday, 11 February 2015<br />

Venue:<br />
18h30<br />
Hall<br />
See you there! <br />
Thank You!<br />
THANK YOU to the enthusiastic Parent Forum members and Grade 8 parents who joined us<br />
last Saturday for our first work party of the year. All Grade 8 parents were invited to come<br />
along to this work party / bring-and-braai as an early opportunity to get to meet other families<br />
in the grade. We separated into work groups to tackle some much needed general clean-up<br />
and maintenance around the Astro, basketball and tennis courts. The scale of the tasks was<br />
somewhat daunting, but we were proud of the results of our efforts at the end of the morning,<br />
and then enjoyed our much needed boerie rolls and drinks around the braai!
We will hold another work party / bring-and-braai on Saturday, 14 March. This time we will<br />
be building new bench tables for the quads. Please diarise this date and come along and<br />
join the fun while doing something practical to improve our children’s school! All <strong>Fairmont</strong><br />
families welcome!<br />

THANK YOU to the parents who signed up for their My School Cards at the New Parent’s Evening<br />
on 27 January, as well as to the ‘old’ parents who use their My School cards to raise money for our<br />
school each month. In the month of December 2014, <strong>Fairmont</strong> earned almost R10,000 from My<br />
School! <br />
Let’s increase that this month! Please make sure that you have a MySchool card, (a family may<br />
have more than one card, so please get a card for your husband, sister, mother, great aunt, etc),<br />
that <strong>Fairmont</strong> is a beneficiary on your cards, and that you swipe your card whenever you are at a<br />
partner outlet. It is easy fundraising for our school!

21) FAIRMONT BOYS’ & GIRLS’ HOCKEY<br />
<strong>Fairmont</strong> hockey has hit the ground running this year as we look to improve on what was a<br />
great season for both boys and girls in 2014.<br />
The Girls Indoor Hockey league got under way on Wednesday last week as <strong>Fairmont</strong> hosted<br />
both Tableview High School and Wynberg Girls High. It was a fantastic start to the season<br />
as the girls produced some top class hockey despite being a bit rusty from a long December<br />
holiday. All in all, we played 8 games, won 4, drew 1 and lost 3. A special mention must be<br />
made of the 8th team (Grade 8 players) who ended up winning one of their matches 12 : 1.<br />
Julia Hoal scored 6 goals, while Lynda Portelli scored 4. The <strong>Fairmont</strong> Hockey Family<br />
extend a warm welcome to all the Grade 8 Indoor players!<br />
Congratulations to the following girls who have been selected for the <strong>Fairmont</strong> Indoor First<br />
Team<br />
* Candice Earley * Teagan Crament<br />
* Cayley Jones * Jessica Rossouw<br />
* Brigeet Benadie * Emma Jacobs<br />
* Courtney Clother-Sinclair * Julia Masureik<br />
A further congratulations goes to Emma Jacobs who will captain the side with Cayley Jones<br />
being the vice-captain.<br />
Finally, welcome to Ross Willis, Jody Erasmus and Robert Goslett (professional coach) who<br />
have joined the Indoor coaching staff this year.<br />
The boys have also started the journey to a successful outdoor season as their pre-season<br />
fitness training got under way on Monday morning and will continue throughout February.<br />
A warm welcome to the U/14 boys who have become a part of the <strong>Fairmont</strong> Hockey Family.<br />
We look forward to seeing your growth over the next 5 years as you serve <strong>Fairmont</strong> Hockey.<br />
Below is a photograph of the U/14 pre-season squad as they await the dreaded Cooper Test.<br />
May this be the best year yet for Hockey at <strong>Fairmont</strong> as the Green Machine marches on.<br />

Overall, this was a very satisfactory start to the 2015 Cricket season. Our 1sts,<br />
U15As and U14As had big wins, while our 2nd team put up a spirited team effort<br />
against a very strong Bellville High team.<br />
