Dear Parent(s) / Guardian(s)
GRADE 6 & 7 PLAYS: The grade 6 and 7 plays on Tuesday and Wednesday night were absolutely amazing! We had a bit of Bollywood, ‘Saturday Night Live’ reality TV show as well as 1920s gangsterism led by ‘Fat Sam’ (Ethan Philander) and ‘Dandy Dan’ (Alexander Dickie) from Bugsy Malone. The grade 7 girls, in beautiful twenties dresses, entertained us as ‘flappers’ with some wonderful dance routines. The grade 6 and 7 pupils are to be commended on a superb evening of entertainment. Both nights played out to full houses. Congratulations and thank you to the grade 6 and 7 class-teachers as well as to Ms Gibbs, Mr Rycroft and particularly Ms Attwell who was responsible for directing and staging the plays. You are all stars!

Corporates and businesses have also bought into Duck-a-mania with ‘Kauai Hawaii’ Duck and ‘Col’Cacchio Pizza King’!

RUGBY
I received a wonderful thank you letter from Elle Joannides and Sandra Jackson on soccer (under-11A) and rugby this week. Here follows an extract on the first rugby match played by our team. On Monday 14 September the grade 6s played their first match of the season against Kronendal. We were there, in undisguised support of Camps Bay Primary. We watched as the coach prepped the boys before the game. The whistle blew, and the players ran onto the field, each one taking his place. The initial silence was broken by a superb pass made to Tommy, who blasted his way to the try-line and dived across ‘Bryan Habana-style’. Go Tommy!
Well done to every member of the team. We did lose the match 25 points to 5 but who said ‘winning is everything’!

Duck-a-thon
DUCK-A-THON
We launched the Duck-a-thon in the assembly last week Friday with ‘yours truly’ attired in ‘duck outfit’ (wetsuit, flippers, goggles and snorkel) which caused great excitement for the pupils and contributed to stirring up duck-a-mania in the school, however, some more important information for you as parents, which was explained to the children in the assembly. Firstly, the actual Duck-a-thon Carnival event is on Saturday 10 October 2009. The Duck-a-thon carnival day will involve games organised by each grade on the Netball court, a food-stall with a theme organised by each grade as well as the ‘lucky duck’ draw in the swimming pool. Nintendo Wii will be setting up a large plasma screen in the hall for the children to play games on for a fee of R5. It promises to be a fun day. Apropos the purchasing of ducks:small yellow ducks at R25 each that will be numbered and placed in the pool for a ‘lucky duck’ draw and there are loads of prizes that includes the first prize of a Wii console with a sports package worth R4000. corporate or family duck (large pink duck) at R250 each which have to be entered into ‘decorated duck’ competition. A number of these decorated ducks are on display in the trophy cabinet outside reception – please pop in and have a look at the decorated ducks on display as they are amazing! Special family of ducks: one large pink duck and four yellow ducks plus one free yellow duck for R350. The winning class which raises the most money will be taken in a bus, driven by Mr Collier, to ‘MacDonalds’ for lunch! Carol Bysshe and Julie Friedman have done an amazing job at launching and organising this fundraiser but as stated before it does need to be a team effort of ALL parents involved to make it a success.

All schools have been instructed to conduct a Whole School Evaluation for 2009. This has come at a convenient time for the school as, from the point of view of been a newly appointed Principal and a new School Governing Body, it will give insight into the strengths of the school but also provide insight into areas that need improvement. The survey includes all role-players, including educators, parents and learners. This is an opportunity for us to hear what you would like to tell us, be it positive, negative, critical or complimentary – we will take note of your comments.
