1.3 Grade 12 Winter School<br />
Take note that the traditional Winter School for grade 12s will take place during the first week of the September<br />
holidays. It will henceforth be known as the Spring School. We believe that it is better positioned just before the Final<br />
Examinations when the syllabi in all subjects have been completed and the Preliminary Examinations have been<br />
written.<br />
2. SPORT<br />
3.1 Athletics<br />
The athletics is proceeding at full steam and despite the heavy rains of the past two weeks, we have participated in two<br />
meetings. The weather however, had the last say at the successful meeting we hosted against Woodhill College and<br />
Heuwelkruin College. A fierce thunderstorm resulted in the 1500 metre items and hurdles being cancelled.<br />

Congratulations to the athletics relay teams who excelled at Uitsig High School’s relay meeting at Pilditch Stadium and<br />
won seven team medals.<br />
Our athletes met tough competition on the athletics track at Hoërskool Hartbeespoort’s meeting on Friday. <strong>Midstream</strong><br />
College finished fourth against schools double our size. Hartbeespoort, Gerrit Maritz and Grenswag showed us a clean<br />
pair of heels. One characteristic of the athletes from <strong>Midstream</strong> College is their competitive attitude and we want to<br />
congratulate and thank everyone who participated at Hartbeespoort.<br />
The results and names of achievers are available on the school’s website. We are looking forward to our meeting on the<br />
tartan track of Boksburg Stadium today against Stoffberg, Vereeniging and Jan Viljoen.<br />
3.2 Swimming<br />
Our gala at CBC was cancelled, but we managed to swim at Hartbeespoort on Wednesday and hosted our own gala on<br />
Thursday. Congratulations to Chantal Addinall who participated in the Gauteng Provincial School Swimming trials and<br />
won seven events.<br />
3.3 Tennis<br />
The senior girls team are doing us proud with their performances in the league. The team which consists of Leandri<br />
Viljoen, Lenke Schmutz, Jeannie Jordaan, Chantal Oesch and Meagan Bekker, have won their last two league matches<br />
convincingly. They beat the first team of Willowridge High by 40-27 and a team of Affies Meisies by 42-25. Good luck to<br />
these girls with their remaining fixtures.<br />

4. GRADE CAMPS<br />
The various grade groups will be going on camps from 2-6 March. These camps are compulsory as the aims of the<br />
camps are not only socialising and getting to know each other better, but are also adventure related. We will make<br />
provision at the different venues for those learners with special dietary requirements. I would like to reassure our<br />
parents of our commitment in making sure that each and every child will be looked after in the best possible way. All<br />
our staff members that will accompany our learners will undergo a first aid course and we confirmed with the different<br />
venues that all the facilitators that will be working with our learners are in possession of a first aid certificate. You will<br />
receive a contact number of a staff member attending your child’s camp in order for you to make contact with the staff<br />
at the camp if necessary.<br />
The grade groups will attend the following camps:<br />
Grade 8: Hartbeeshoek (Magaliesberg area: Departing at 07:00 on Wednesday, 3 rd March and will be back at the<br />
College on Friday, 5 th March at 13:30.)<br />
Grade 9: Camp Discovery (Pienaars River area: Departing at 07:00 on Wednesday, 3 rd March and will be back at the<br />
College on Friday, 5 th March at 13:30.)<br />
Grade 10: Elandskloof (Dullstroom – Mpumalanga: Departing at 13:00 on Tuesday, 2 nd March and will be back at<br />

Grade 12: Camp Nelu (Magaliesburg: Departing at 07:00 on Friday, 5 th March and will be back at the College on<br />
Saturday, 6 th March at 13:00.)<br />
We need to book and pay the different venues and transport companies no later than 12 February <strong>2010</strong>. The fees for the<br />
different camps will only be put on your bill at the end of February <strong>2010</strong>. You are therefore urged to make contact with<br />
Mr Ferdi Niemand if your child will not be unable to attend the camp. If you fail to contact Mr Niemand before 12<br />
February <strong>2010</strong> you will be eligible for the full payment of the camp fee. Please take note that the camps form part of our<br />
curriculum and are therefore compulsory. Learners that don’t attend the camp without prior arrangement with Mr F<br />
Niemand will be penalised and they will have to attend school during this period.<br />
The costs involved in the different camps are as follows:<br />
Gr 8 R 800<br />
Gr 9 R 800<br />
Gr 10 R1 250<br />
Gr 11 R1 250<br />
