12 Days of Christmas Tabeetha style

Our Student Council made this highly entertaining video showing their interpretation of the well-know Christmas song "The 12 Days of Christmas". It was screened at the Secondary Christmas Assembly on Friday and had the whole hall in stitches!

End of term

We are in the last days of the first term of this school year 2012-2013. Soon our focus will be on March 2013 when we will be celebrating 150 years of the school's existence, but right now our focus has been on Christmas activities and Grade 6 to 9 exams. The past few days have been filled with celebrations. On Tuesday we had the Kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2 Christmas Show which was all about the ABCs of Christmas. Yesterday Grade 3, 4 and 5 introduced us to "Joseph, the Joiner's Family". Both shows were really enjoyable and entertaining. Well done to teachers and pupils for all the great work you have done!

Christmas 2012

As usual the school takes on a different look and feel during this time. Christmas decorations adorn the hallways and classrooms and Christmas music can be heard wafting through the air as it is blasted through the school intercom system.

The festivities are enjoyed by both staff and pupils, as we are all preparing for the various Christmas shows and assemblies.

Staff are enjoying "Secret Santa". Secondary are preparing for the Student Council disco which will take place next Wednesday night. Primary will be having a Christmas Fair next Thursday morning. Midst all these festivities, Grade 6, 7, 8 and 9 pupils are busy writing their Winter Exams. Grade 10, 11 and 12 pupils will be writing their all-important trial exams in January.

Our Christmas holidays are from 22 December to 7 January 2013, and we return to school on 8 January 2013. On our return we will be full-speed into the preparations for the 150th Anniversary Celebrations which will be taking place in the week of 8 to 16 March 2013.
