Term 4 2025
(More information under Events)
Please note that there will be no aftercare on the last day of school, Friday 5 December.
School will close at the normal end-of-term time (11am), and we kindly ask parents to make the necessary arrangements to collect their daughters promptly.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we wrap up a wonderful year together.
We have been approached by one of our Micklefield grandparents who volunteers with Reading for Hope, a wonderful initiative supporting early literacy at EA Janari School in Bonteheuwel.
They are appealing for gently used simple readers such as Ladybird “Read It Yourself” books or any beginner reading material.
If you are able to contribute, please send books to the school office.
Your support will help open new worlds for these children—one book at a time. 📚✨
If you have any gently used stationery at home that is no longer needed, we would be grateful to receive it.
Items such as pencils, crayons, pencil cases, scissors, rulers, or unused exercise books can make a meaningful difference to children who may not have access to these basic supplies.
Donations may be dropped off at the front office, and we will ensure that everything collected is passed on to schools and organisations where it is needed most.
Thank you for supporting our wider community in such a practical and generous way. ✏️💙

New Extramural: Junior Medics – First Aid Fun!
We are excited to announce that Junior Medics is joining our extra‑mural line‑up this term at Micklefield!
Designed especially for young learners, the program combines engaging games, role‑play and hands‑on activities to empower children with life‑saving first‑aid skills.
Let’s equip our girls not just with academic skills but with meaningful life‑skills — we can’t wait to get started.
A huge thank you to our Micklefield community for making this year’s Micklefield Market such a wonderful success.
From the buzzing stalls and delicious treats to the fantastic energy from our girls, parents, and staff — the day was filled with true Micklefield spirit. 💛✨
We are thrilled to share that, together, we managed to raise about R150 000 for the swimming pool fund! This is an incredible achievement, and it wouldn’t have been possible without your generosity, hard work, and enthusiastic support.
We’re already looking ahead, and we’re excited to announce that the next Micklefield Market will return to its usual spot in the second term, taking place on 18 April 2026.
Thank you once again for helping create such a memorable community event. Here’s to many more! 🌼🎪💙

The Mzansi National Philharmonic Orchestra takes the stage this December with Voices of Home — its most expansive tour yet — celebrating the spirit and sound of South Africa. Led by global conducting icon Marin Alsop, and joined by South African captivating cellist Abel Selaocoe, the unmissable tour combines African soul with a reimagined classical tradition featuring Selaocoe’s Four Spirits Cello Concerto — a genre-defining work that channels ancient memory, contemporary rhythm, and the unmistakable pulse of home. The concert ends on an emotional high with Rachmaninov’s Symphony No. 2 which is renown for its lush melodies.
Voices of Home is more than a concert — it’s a call across generations and borders. From historic echoes to contemporary compositions, from local brilliance to international acclaim, as our beloved national orchestra’s voice grows louder — the world is listening.
Programme:
Conductor: Marin Alsop
Soloist: Abel Selaocoe (cello), with Bernhard Schimpelsberger (percussion)
Repertoire:
Dmitri Shostakovich – Festive Overture
Laura Karpman — All American
Abel Selaocoe – Four Spirits Cello Concerto arr. Benjamin Woodgates
