(Grade 6+7 Exams start)
We would like to formally congratulate Brenton Joseph on his election as the Chair of the Board of Trustees.
We hope to continue our tradition of helping those less fortunate than ourselves to wrap up warmly this winter.
We encourage you to knit or crochet beanies and/or scarves this year. Send the completed items to school and we will deliver these to our ‘Knitting Fairies” who will distribute these items according to the needs of our community.
Ready, set, get knitting!!!
The updated 2024 sport and extra-mural programme is available on the Edana App, under Documentation. Please check both the Term 1 and 4 (Summer) and the Term 2 and 3 (Winter) schedules when doing your planning. All information with regards to the private extra-murals on offer is available on the Edana App under Documentation, Sport/Extra-murals. Please liaise directly with the extra-mural providers.
A new revised schedule of the sport programme until the end of the term went this week in a hard copy form. It was also posted on the Grade Sports groups and it is available on the Edana App under Documents, Sport and Extra-Murals. It is unfortunate that some of the schools who we were scheduled to play have cancelled or postponed hence the new fixtures. We have also tried to accommodate the Grade 6 and 7 exams, but it is important for our girls to still play sport while studying – ‘air their brains’!

We are very excited to announce our Theme Week for 2024 is MADD week. We will be hosting some amazing drama workshops, heading out to experience the world of art, creating music together and moving to the music with some dance.
A few items to keep an eye out for:
As part of our theatre experience, the girls are going to be creating head pieces (fascinators) out of recycled items to wear to the show on Thursday. In order to create these we need the girls to start collecting:
Congratulations to 4 of our U11 girls who have been playing in the PSI Regional Competition. The Vikings (Catherine Davidge and Rosa Brotchie) took first place and The Wizards (Stella Bryan and Jamie Viljoen) finished second.
