We must learn to view change as a natural phenomenon – to anticipate it and to plan for it. The future is ours to<br />
channel in the direction we want to go... we must continually ask ourselves, "What will happen if...?" or better still,<br />
"How can we make it happen?"<br />
Lisa Taylor #<br />
Change is accompanied by different emotions and I believe that each learner, parent and teacher was<br />
confronted by change during the last three years. At the end of term three I would like to salute the teachers<br />
that helped to channel Midstream in the right direction. By means of endless energy and innovative ways giant<br />
leaps were taken towards establishing Midstream College. Senior management had a lion’s share in the<br />
planning and steering of the Midstream ship.<br />
A handful of teachers and approximately 180 learners were part of our first Inter–house athletics on the primary<br />
school’s rugby field in 2007. Our first (p)Articipate gala evening was held on the Bondev pavilion on a windy<br />
evening in September of the same year. Inter–house athletics this year, with spontaneous singing, and our<br />
recent (p)Articipate illustrate the immense progress we have shown.<br />
(p)Articipate 2009 and our revue bore witness to the enthusiasm and positive attitude among teachers and<br />
learners. There were more than 800 entries in the different categories.<br />
My wish for every learner, especially our matrics after their record exam, and every teacher is a well deserved<br />
rest. I hope to welcome you all back on 6 October with your glasses overflowing and with the will power to make<br />
things happen at Midstream.<br />
