HIGH SCHOOL<br />

HAPPENINGS<br />

Dear Parent,<br />

It is the end of yet another<br />

term. A sigh of relief, missed<br />

opportunities or a pat on<br />

the back... The category<br />

you fall into will determine<br />

the way forward for you.<br />

The common denominator<br />

in all these categories,<br />

to quote Mr Niemand, is<br />

‘#onwardsandupwards”.<br />

We as Curro<br />

Roodeplaat<br />

have had great<br />

successes in<br />

a variety of<br />

activities. We<br />

were blessed with<br />

performances at<br />

the Curro Cuesta<br />

showcase where<br />

Joanice Stander won<br />

numerous accolades<br />

and Blessing Madhandara<br />

received the prize for<br />

the top art student. In a<br />

few days’ time we will be<br />

celebrating all the different<br />

cultures at our school by<br />

having our annual Culture<br />

Gala evening. Most of our<br />

learners that took part<br />

in the Curro Cuesta will<br />

be given an opportunity<br />

to share in the spotlight<br />

during this evening. As<br />

part of the golden thread<br />

interwoven throughout<br />

the different phases we<br />

have a guest appearance<br />

from a grade one learner<br />

that we are really excited<br />

about. Come and share<br />

this unforgettable evening<br />

with us.<br />

Cop, our outreach<br />

programme, had a very<br />

fruitful and life changing<br />

weekend when they<br />

had a chance to make a<br />

difference at Makhulong<br />

youth and child care<br />

centre. Forty of our<br />

students participated in this<br />

initiative, and taking into<br />

account all the students<br />

that were involved in their<br />

own outreach projects<br />

for Life Orientation, this<br />

clearly shows that we truly<br />

care. We thank them all<br />

in making a difference<br />

in our community.<br />

We are after all<br />

a community<br />

school.<br />

Our cricket and<br />

soccer boys are<br />

still flying the<br />

Roodies flag high.<br />

Our first cricket<br />

team recently beat<br />

Akasia High School by<br />

22 runs. During the Junior<br />

City Counsel soccer<br />

tournament our soccer<br />

team lost in the final. A<br />

number of our u/15 rugby<br />

boys have been selected<br />

after a rigorous set of trials<br />

to participate in the Iqhawe<br />

national tournament. We<br />

will release the names of<br />
