HIGH SCHOOL HAPPENINGS<br />
After the<br />
successful<br />
completion of<br />
the exams and a 3 week<br />
long holiday, I trust that<br />
you are all well-rested<br />
and ready for term 3.<br />
It is a misconception to<br />
presume that one term is<br />
less busy than another.<br />
Every term has its own<br />
unique challenges and<br />
term 3 is no exception.<br />
Reports going out,<br />
Parents’ evening, Grade<br />
9 subject choices, rugby<br />
play-offs, soccer, cricket,<br />
the pantomime, prefect<br />
elections, matric farewell<br />
and the preliminary<br />
examinations are only<br />
a few highlights which<br />
from part of our school’s<br />
heartbeat.<br />
This term is crucially<br />
important for our<br />
matriculants as<br />
they are finalising<br />
their portfolios<br />
and silabusses.<br />
A warm word of<br />
thanks to our staff<br />
and learners at<br />
the completion of<br />
the winter school.<br />
“If you work hard<br />
during winter, the<br />
harvest will be<br />
great in summer”.<br />
The rest of the<br />
school can now<br />
fix the mistakes<br />
they made in<br />
previous terms.<br />
Curro has informed us<br />
that there will be no<br />
common papers in the<br />
third term. In reaction to<br />
this message, we have<br />
adapted our assessment<br />
programmes. A<br />
letter explaining the<br />
particulars, as well as<br />
a new assessment<br />
programme, was sent<br />
out at the end of term 2.<br />
All necessary changes<br />
were carefully made<br />
in the learners’ school<br />
diaries during the first<br />
register period of the<br />
new term. The new<br />
arrangements were also<br />
broadly discussed during<br />
school assembly.<br />
Although we have<br />
already congratulated<br />
these learners on<br />
their outstanding<br />
achievements,<br />
we would like to<br />
compliment the following<br />
learners who held our<br />
school’s name high<br />

A warm word of<br />
welcome to Ms<br />
Linmarie van Niekerk,<br />
our newest addition to<br />
the Mathematics and<br />
Science department.<br />
We are truly blessed in<br />
her appointment. We<br />
are also blessed in<br />
welcoming 4 aspiring<br />
student teachers to<br />
our midst, who will be<br />
completing their practical<br />
teaching at Curro<br />
Roodeplaat.<br />
We are truly thankful for<br />
your support and I pray<br />
that you will experience<br />
God’s grace during this<br />
term.<br />
Keep asking WHY?<br />
