“Practise makes perfect! After a long time
of practising, our work [at Glenwood House
Pre-Primary] will become natural, skilful, swift,
and steady.” – Bruce Lee.
Kauthar Fortuin (Grade 0) joined Glenwood House
Pre-Primary in Grade 000. Kauthar was a very shy
little girl, and it has been such a privilege and joy
to watch her grow. Her teachers have built her
confidence each year and now she proudly sits by
herself at her shop and speaks in front of our whole
school at Market Day! We burst with pride. #support

My shorts are all grass-stained; my jersey’s
a wreck. I’m covered in mud, from my
feet to my neck. My glasses are broken;
my cleats are a mess. It just doesn’t get
any better than this! Adam Barnett – keep
reaching for the stars and never give up!

At Glenwood House Pre-Primary we pride
ourselves in being mindful of looking after
the environment – REUSE, REDUCE and
RECYCLE! So, when our students bring
unwanted items from home, we guide them
in the thinking process of how they can
reinvent the items into something new. Using
critical and creative thinking skills and tools,
we scaffold their thinking and help those
ideas come to life. #reducereuserecycle

Jordan Burmester is very talented with Lego
and has achieved many goals, but this story
is the best yet! He was very excited to share
his skills with his class. Using his Lego book as
a guide and the Lego blocks in class, Jordan
gave a “workshop” on how to build specific
objects out of Lego. The pupils were able to
follow his instructions, see the pictures in his
book and build their own objects, and Jordan
helped them when they got stuck.
We had the pleasure of meeting a
Glenwoodian alumnus, Robert Vaccaro,
who shared his passion for art with us.
Robert created wonderful artworks which
are recognised in the South African and
International art industry.

“Sometimes you will never know the
value of a moment until it becomes a

At our school we celebrate all kinds of
achievements, especially the conquering of
fears, letting go, and having fun. It is okay to
try something new and messy because you
never know what might come from it.
Sinalu Mdlankomo joined our school this
year and was determined to achieve her
goal of climbing the rope on the jungle gym.
She would practise every day and, finally,
after support and persistence, she achieved
her goal! #proudmoment
