of good put together that overwhelm the world”
Desmond Tutu
Dear Parents
As you are all aware I retire at the end of this year and the process of filling
the principal position has already started. You may have read in the media
about certain schools that have had particular challenges in ensuring that the
best person for the position is chosen and the stumbling blocks that SGB’s
and interview committees have had to navigate during this process. We are
fortunate that we have a very positive relationship with our Superintendent
of Education (Management), Mr Shezi and this is extremely important so
that the process is carried out correctly and professionally so that the new
incumbent will offer the very best to the learners, staff and the community in
the years to come.

If all the stakeholders are determined that the position will be filled based
on educational criteria then there should be no disputes or hidden and
emotionally driven agendas.
Everyone involved in this process has a duty to ensure that they are not sidetracked from ensuring the best education for our learners and choosing the
best candidate to lead this school as it moves into another exciting phase
over the next 7 to 10 years.
Yours sincerely
Neville Green

It was a perfect morning and our girls were filled with enthusiasm from beginning to end. Our

exceptionally considering we lost 0-8 to them that same week.

We then played the German School and we were heavily defeated in a tough and testing
match. We played our fourth and final game straight after the German School game and
even though our girls were exhausted, they never gave up. We unfortunately we lost the
game 0-3.
The whole team was nominated for Lady of the Match in every game. The lady of the
tournament went to Laaika Mohammed for her outstanding goal keeping and defence work
in each game. Our girls have learnt so much from this experience and we look forward to
growing in strength with each game.

Tyler Goodenough for excellent defense.
