HIGH SCHOOL HAPPENINGS
After the
successful
completion of
the exams and a 3 week
long holiday, I trust that
you are all well-rested
and ready for term 3.
It is a misconception to
presume that one term is
less busy than another.
Every term has its own
unique challenges and
term 3 is no exception.
Reports going out,
Parents’ evening, Grade
9 subject choices, rugby
play-offs, soccer, cricket,
the pantomime, prefect
elections, matric farewell
and the preliminary
examinations are only
a few highlights which
from part of our school’s
heartbeat.
This term is crucially
important for our
matriculants as
they are finalising
their portfolios
and silabusses.
A warm word of
thanks to our staff
and learners at
the completion of
the winter school.
“If you work hard
during winter, the
harvest will be
great in summer”.
The rest of the
school can now
fix the mistakes
they made in
previous terms.
Curro has informed us
that there will be no
common papers in the
third term. In reaction to
this message, we have
adapted our assessment
programmes. A
letter explaining the
particulars, as well as
a new assessment
programme, was sent
out at the end of term 2.
All necessary changes
were carefully made
in the learners’ school
diaries during the first
register period of the
new term. The new
arrangements were also
broadly discussed during
school assembly.
Although we have
already congratulated
these learners on
their outstanding
achievements,
we would like to
compliment the following
learners who held our
school’s name high
as Curro Roodeplaat
amabassadors during
their recently completed
tours:
Abby Welch:

Netball Tournament.
Acheived a bronze
medal.

A warm word of
welcome to Ms
Linmarie van Niekerk,
our newest addition to
the Mathematics and
Science department.
We are truly blessed in
her appointment. We
are also blessed in
welcoming 4 aspiring
student teachers to
our midst, who will be
completing their practical
teaching at Curro
Roodeplaat.
We are truly thankful for
your support and I pray
that you will experience
God’s grace during this
term.
Keep asking WHY?
