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 are thrilled to hear that a third matric from 2014 has been admitted to Medical.<br />

The 3 matrics are:<br />

‣ Delicia Moodley<br />

‣ Helen Hoenck<br />

‣ Colleen Bougard<br />

Well done to them!<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 />

effectively facilitate and host functions along with providing a service to the school<br />

for their events or assemblies.<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 />

LITERARY – In other words! Here pupils improve their creative writing skills and<br />

also focus on English literature appreciation.<br />

JSE INVESTMENT CHALLENGE – It’s all about the Bulls and the Bears! The<br />

learners are introduced to the world of investing: trade, stockbroking, the JSE,<br />

interaction with business, and so forth.<br />

design prospective.<br />

PLEASE NOTE!<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 />

H Homewood

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

opportunity to introduce yourself to your child’s teachers this year and put faces to names.<br />

Date: Wednesday, 11 February 2015<br />

Time:<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 />

Mr D Clark<br />

Master in Charge: Hockey
