Our sincere appreciation and<br />
gratitude should go to our<br />
teachers and learners for<br />
their hard work in achieving<br />
this.<br />
Our high school opened its<br />
doors but within a few days<br />
fell victim to cable theft, which<br />
left us without electricity for<br />
almost two weeks.<br />
This posed quite a serious<br />
challenge with regard to the<br />
functionality of our server, the<br />
downloading of books and<br />
other computer-related issues.<br />
We are doing our utmost to<br />
catch up on the backlog of<br />
issues created by the power<br />
problems. The cafeteria at the<br />
high school still needs to be<br />
changed/upgraded to adhere<br />
to the original specifications<br />
of a cafeteria; only after this<br />
will we be able to make full<br />
use of this facility. This is a<br />
priority and as such will only<br />
be operational in term 2.<br />
Although the area at the<br />
netball and tennis courts<br />
at the high school has been<br />
allocated for our swimming<br />
pool, there is a delay with the<br />
moving of the water pipeline<br />
and, thus, the pool only forms<br />
part of phase two (2<strong>01</strong>9).<br />
The construction of the<br />
cricket nets (next to the<br />
cafeteria) at the high school<br />
is nearing completion now.<br />
New grass has been planted<br />
in the area next to the fence<br />
on the sports field; therefore,<br />
the lay-out of the athletics<br />
track for our inter-house<br />
was only temporarily done.<br />
The surveyor will be visiting<br />
the school in due course to<br />
determine the final lay-out<br />
of our sports field. Due to<br />
unforeseen circumstances we<br />
had to reschedule our official<br />
opening of the high school<br />
and this will now take place<br />
on 19 April 2<strong>01</strong>8.<br />
I am awaiting the proposed<br />
plans for the roof/cover of<br />
our pavilion at the primary<br />
school in order for me to<br />
determine the costs<br />
involved in erecting<br />
this.<br />
The cover at<br />
our pavilion and<br />
the completion<br />
of the primary<br />
school hockey<br />
field is a priority,<br />
and I hope to have positive<br />
feedback regarding this in<br />
weeks to come.<br />
Ablution facilities at our<br />
primary school sports field<br />
is also an area of great need,<br />
which we can hopefully<br />
address in 2<strong>01</strong>8.<br />
