Chairman’s Report 2021

2021 ushered in the hope that life could return to normal after Covid-19 turned the world as we knew it upside down.

As smooth as the start to the new academic school year was, so too was the election process with a new Governing Body appointed offering a plethora of specialized skills to the Atholl Heights family.

As the year progressed, so the SGB identified projects for the school for 2021. This included areas of repair and improvement and, of course, the exterior wall that has done so much to improve the security aspect of the school property and enhance the appearance of the school.

I would like to thank the members of the Governing Body for all the time they dedicate to the governance and development of Atholl Heights; they are an amazing team.

It was so good to know that sport could resume not quite back to normal, but wonderful to see the interaction amongst our pupils on the playing fields again. Quietly in the background-choir resumed,

violins played, books were read, art was created and our special world at Atholl Heights was able to settle back onto its axis as much as possible.

Thank you to Mr Wing and all the staff (educators, sports department, admin and general support ) for doing everything possible to make it happen. I am so proud of our Atholl Heights learners for embracing the challenges of Covid and shining bright as always.

A special thank you to all the parents for their constant positive support and contribution to the school.

Atholl Heights is “ Simply the Best “ !

Sally Juckes SGB Chairperson

Aftercare

Children are collected from their classrooms at the end of the school morning and have a classroom in the Grade R area.

The hours are 12h20 - 17h00. (There is no holiday aftercare).

Indoor activities include play dough, drawing, puzzles, construction toys and the fantasy area.

Outdoor activities are in the Grade R area weather permitting.

The children spend a happy, busy afternoon in a safe area enjoying free play time, teacher directed activities and snack and story times.

Music and Drama

This year, Covid-19 still affected the possibilities of any performances taking place. Choir, percussion and violin extra mural took place with enthusiasm, with the hope of being able to perform for a live audience sometime this year.

Although the pupils have been unable to attend the music classes in the music room due to not being able to social distance, music was still enjoyed in the classrooms.

One of the highlights in Grade 6, was the making of “Glow in the dark” drums playing rhythms from their rhythm notation they had learnt.

Drama classes for Grade 4 & 5 took place in the classrooms as well, and it has been amazing to watch how some very shy, nervous pupils grow in confidence with individual performances in front of the class.

Grade 5’s had great fun learning and performing a chair dance with some very funky accessories for one of the drama assessments.

Grade 4’s in the third term learned how to “Build a drama”, writing their own short mini play and performing it with two sock puppets they had made.

Percussion groups had prepared songs like “We will Rock You”, “Shoshaloza” and “Viva la Vida” for outside performances on the various break up days. Unfortunately performances were either rained out or didn’t take place due to Covid-19 affecting school closing earlier than expected.

Eastern Languages Classes

The school offered Hindi and Tamil lessons to learners on a Friday afternoon.

These lessons are optional and parents decide whether they would like their child to attend whichever language lesson they prefer.

The Department of Education supplies teachers to carry these out.

Photography Report

This year due to Covid-19 restrictions the club was open to Grade Seven learners only and met on a Tuesday after school in the art room.

The basics of camera settings are taught at the beginning of the year and this is followed by composition and lighting.

Due to the stop/start nature of extra murals due to Covid-19 not as many subjects were covered this year. We did manage to cover still life, garden, slow shutter and sport. All sports photos taken by the club were submitted to the sports department for use on the school facebook page. This afforded the parents an opportunity to see the children enjoying sport as they were unable to attend matches in person.

A night-time shoot was undertaken this year. We met in the school car park and experimented with lit steel wool and torches. There were some wonderful images taken on this evening. During the year different challenges were held. The learners were given a list of ideas/subjects for the week. All subjects were open to interpretation and it was interesting to see the different points of view among the learners.

“Life is like a photograph, if it doesn’t seem right look at it from another angle”

Debbie Crawford Photography Teacher

In these topsy turvy days of Covid-19 the above comment seems so apt. I would like to think of the stars in the above quotation as the art in the children’s life at school. Art adds an element of freedom and creativity to a life that has become more rule bound through necessity.

Due to art being done in the classroom it has taken some serious out of the box thinking to continually come up with art tasks that not only engage the class but can also cover the Caps curriculum. Despite not being able to use the more traditional art media of clay, acrylic paints and modelling paste I feel that I have achieved both of the above.

This year artists such as Picasso, Keith Haring, Romero Britto and Sonia Delauney were studied in Grade 4 to 6 respectively. Grade 7 learners studied the colourful world of township art through several South African artists. Grades 4 and 5 also enjoyed weaving tasks using both threads and paper. Thank you to the school management team for your continued support during these difficult times.

Let us hope that 2022 brings with it opportunities to allow work to be done in the art room.

The most talented artists from Grade 7 are invited to join.

We started the year with acrylic paintings on canvas. Our subject was “My Favorite Bird “. We spent most of the first term on these wonderful paintings. All the paintings were displayed in the art room for passersby to admire.

All members received a journal, pencils and a list of subjects in a 30 week pencil drawing challenge. It was exciting to see the improvement in drawing skills as the weeks progressed.

During the second term we worked with watercolour and pen to create abstract landscapes filled with patterns.

3rd term started with a video presentation from an abstract artist Adele Sypesteyn. She stressed the importance of getting all supplies ready and organised before starting to paint. She went on to explain a quick method of creating multiple small abstract paintings to be used as inspiration for a larger painting. We all had a wonderful time putting into practice what she had taught us which was basically learning to let go and perfection is not always required. After choosing one of the paintings it was transferred on a larger scale to a canvas.

In the 4th term the members chose a photograph of their favourite animal and this art piece was done in large format using chalk pastel and charcoal. The results speak for themselves.

Photographs of some of this exceptional work will be placed in our school magazine, principal’s report and on the school facebook page.

It is my hope that this highly talented group will continue with art as they move into high school next year.

Our year started with an overseas adventure to China. We know a lot more about the history, festivals and the type of food Chinese people like to eat.

On our return we jumped onto a minibus and toured our very own country. We can’t believe what a beautiful place we live in.

We have learnt about so many different jobs and we even tried our hand at being nurses, builders and bakers. How exciting that there is so much to choose from one day.

We are so good at keeping our masks on, santising and try hard at keeping our distance.

We have had a busy year with loads of fun especially when it comes to outdoor play! We enjoy our trek to the library and we love to choose new books to take home.

We really look forward to Thursdays where we can use up our surplus energy.

Our teachers are so proud of how hard we work and because we are so clever they are teaching us to read.

Grade One 2021 has been an exciting time.

Term 1 started with a visiting day before school started. Our children came to drop off their stationery and meet us. We had a special pencil and a treat for each child.

Term 1 ended with a Teddy Bears Picnic. Our special teddy / fluffy toy came to spend a day with us at school.

We have had fun learning to play different kinds of sport. The boys played cricket, rugby and learnt soccer skills. The girls have played netball, T. ball, soccer and hockey.

We have learnt new languages. We can now speak IsiZulu and Afrikaans.

We are having a virtual trip to Flag Animal Farm in September. We are having a farm day and we are coming dressed to school as a farmer or a farm animal. We are also going to make “Pig biscuits”

We took part in the Speech and Drama Festival. We enjoyed saying our poems and presenting our “show and tell” to the adjudicator.

Thank you to our

What a year it has been. The children returned excited as ever to start Grade 2! The teachers were just as thrilled to have a full class of children again. They settled in quickly and adjusted well to the new protocols.

The beginning of the year started off with a bang! We dove right into learning about what our bodies need to stay healthy, such as the 5 food groups. A special part of life skills was dedicated to being unique and learning about those with disabilities. A significant part of Life Skills is learning about wild animals. We cover the big 5, those who camouflage and animals that carry their homes on their backs. Each year we would visit Tala Game Reserve, but due to the current pandemic we decided to have our own virtual game drive in the classroom.

In Afrikaans the children built on their Grade 1 knowledge and expanded their vocabulary. We had lots of fun learning about the different animals found on the farm and they even started to write their own sentences. Later on in the year, the children began reading their very own books. Sjoe! Die kinders is baie slim!

Zulu lessons are a very exciting part of the week. The children always look forward to learning how to count, name family members and identify wild animals. Siyathanda uAtholl Heights.

An exciting part of Maths in Grade 2 is learning how to tell the time- quarter past, half past, quarter to and o’clock...it took some time, but now they know it all! The children learnt how to share and divide.

Grade

Do you know how to share 9 pizzas between 4 friends?

The Grade 2’s sure do. Adding and subtracting big numbers has become the norm.

As you can see the Grade 2’s have achieved a lot in such a short space of time. Imagine what they will achieve in the future.

We cannot wait to see it!

After the ups and downs of 2020 the Grade Three teachers and learners welcomed 2021 with much anticipation. Term One started with a bang due to a couple of weeks delay to the start of the term but we were all happy to be back in the classroom with all our children present on a full time basis.

Everyone worked hard and the highlight of term one was the introduction of cursive writing which is always much anticipated. The children worked hard throughout term two learning many new things in the classroom and participating in extramural activities with lots of enthusiasm.

Term Three has been a fun term learning about times gone by with many of the children bringing interesting objects from when either their grandparents or parents were young to show their classmates. The children loved dressing up in their South African flag colours for Olympic Day, definitely the highlight of the term so far.

The latter half of the third term has brought with it the challenge of occasionally having to learn online - an experience for the teachers and children alike. We are so proud of the way our learners have responded to this sometimes difficult way of learning and it makes us appreciate being in the classroom ‘in person’ so much more!

2021 has continued to teach us the lessons of resilience and strength and although some of the days have seemed dark and never ending, being able to be in our classrooms teaching and learning together has been a gift we have all appreciated.

Thank you to our children for a wonderful year

When you walk to the edge of all the light you have and take that first step into the darkness of the unknown, you must believe that one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for you to stand upon or you will be taught to fly.

Patrick Overton

In Grade Four you are taught to fly and fly is exactly what our Grade Fours have done this year.

From the mouths of our learners….

“Grade Four has been fun. I was scared at first but now I am not.”

“I felt scared. I didn’t know what to do but I just told myself to be normal and I was okay.”

“At the start of Grade Four I was nervous, but at the same time I was confident.”

“When we finally started school, we were really unfit so the stairs were a challenge.”

“Grade Four has been fun. There were ups and downs. It’s like a rollercoaster.”

“I know that I am going to pass Grade Four because Covid doesn’t stop me from doing what I have to do. I follow the Covid rules so I don’t get sick.”

“I didn’t understand Fractions but now that my teacher has explained them they make so much sense. Now I am doing fraction sums and a whole bunch of other things that I thought were going to be hard.”

“School is not as fun with Covid. We can’t run or play with friends. I wish Covid was over.”

“I was scared of getting Covid-19 at the start of Grade Four but I was also excited to see my friends and making new ones.”

* * *

Grade Four 2021 eventually started on Monday 15 February. It was a start of unknowns for teachers and learners alike. A lot of mixed emotions and butterfly tummies.

The class teachers, namely: Mrs Mackenzie, Miss Grobbelaar, Mrs Maphumulo and Miss Veerasamy, stepping in for Mrs Bassett while on accouchement leave, with the support of Miss Buttignon and Mrs Monks formed the team.

A chaotic first two weeks negotiating storage space with new tables, preparing books and learning to follow all the Covid rules for social distancing were all a bit overwhelming. But the new Grade Four learners were eager to adapt and work hard so that school could progress without Lockdown being an interference. So little by little the unknown became the new normal and the year can be classified as a success story for the records.

Grade 5 2021, never to be forgotten. Not only did we have to keep on wearing a mask, sanitise and do social distancing; we had to have disruptions within the terms. Everyone knows about Level 3 and Level 4. Terms were shorter and the holidays longer. Not that we complained about the extended holidays but to top it off, the work had to be taught in shorter terms. This proved to be very difficult. But we are the changeable generation, according to a certain bank.

And then came July. Never before have any of us experienced this type of change. School became secondary to bread and milk.

We are very fortunate at school, as we have been able to cover all the required work, learning more about Pharaohs, Weather, Energy, Farmers and even the Khoisan.

But we adapt and move on. We have overcome many things and kept on looking for the silver linings on the clouds. Sport started and stopped. Now, again it is being done differently. Our teachers have been amazing and with the support from our parents, we will prevail. Watch out 2022, Grade 5’s are on the move.

Our Grade Six learners have soldiered through 2021. Adapting to the protocols of Covid-19 is not an easy task for a child, but our learners tried their best to adhere to the rules to keep each other safe.

The implementation of Google Meets and Google Classroom was successful in all classes as they had full attendance, and learners worked through the curriculum as they would have in class.

In Natural Sciences, they have observed practicals on starch in the first term and have created electric circuits in the third term. In the second term, the learners learnt about particles and observed many practical applications in class.

In History, the learners completed a research project based on the topic covered: a biography on a democratic leader who fought against the apartheid regime.

In Geography, the third term was filled with exciting content where they learned about the various types of climate regions around the world.

In the languages, the Grade Six learners tackled a new type of assessment: the Creative Writing Projects. This assessment required much research which was used to approach various sub-tasks.

We wish our Grade Six learners the very best for their final year in primary school. We look forward to the success stories that are to come.

Thank you to Miss Bonney, Mrs Chetty, Mrs Rankin and Miss Blunden for their perseverance and dedication!

The learners came into their final year in Primary School excited for the year ahead. Having already experienced Grade Six with all the Covid-19 protocols in place, the learners knew what to expect and were prepared from day one.

The start of the 2021 academic year was very different for the Grade Sevens. They were expected to find their new classes and carry all of their first day requirements on their own.

This year, the curriculum included some interesting changes, particularly in English and Afrikaans, where learners were given a project to do. This was new for both teachers and learners. The project exposed learners to new and exciting forms of poetry and allowed the learners to use their creativity to express themselves. The project also required learners to conduct research which helped them develop valuable skills that they will carry through to High School.

The Grade Seven learners were introduced to new subjects such as Economic Management Sciences (EMS), a subject which aims to introduce fundamental accounting concepts to the learners, teach them about the importance of entrepreneurship, particularly relevant in our tough economic climate and to emphasise the sustainable use of resources.

Due to the pandemic, learners were unable to establish their own businesses, which is part of the EMS curriculum and is a long standing tradition at Atholl Heights Primary School. The Entrepreneurship Programme had to be adapted and this year learners had to develop their own e-commerce business. They had to learn to use the digital tools at their disposal

to conduct market research, develop a business plan and create an online retail space through which they could sell their products.

In Grade Seven, Natural Science is a combination of Physical Science and Biology. The sections covered this year were Life and Living, Matter and Materials, Energy and Change, as well as Planet Earth and Beyond.

Although not all experiments could be done in Natural Science due to Covid-19 and changes in the curriculum, great fun was had by many when using methylated spirits to learn how pigments travel through paper (Chromatography).

In Technology, unfortunately learners were not given the privilege of being able to create their own models. The learners did, however, enjoy learning about recycling, electric circuits, magnetism, as well as simple mechanisms.

For Art, the Grade Sevens began the year revising art elements and learning about the Principles of Art. These theoretical sections were combined in practice to create monochromatic pieces. The learners also thoroughly enjoyed the Still Life section, during which they rearranged the desks in the classroom to face the centre of the room in order to get a clear view of the plants, bottles and other traditional objects in the centre of the classroom. Seeing architecture as an expression of culture was a concept introduced in the third term. The learners had to research a South African city and look for buildings that showed the cultural diversity of the city both past and present, then, they used pen and their knowledge of art elements and principles to create a cityscape.

Grade

In Life Orientation this year the learners had a lot of fun in the classroom, covering sections including: Puberty, Environmental Health, Substance Abuse, Careers and of course Covid-19. Covid-19 has had a lot of positives and negatives for the children. Learners have had lengthy discussions about the different life lessons we have all learnt.

To end off what has been a challenging, yet exciting year for this group of Grade Sevens, the learners had the privilege of enjoying a COVID-friendly skills programme. During the skills programme learners took part in a range of interesting short courses covering sporting, academic, cultural and craft subjects, which are not usually available as part of the normal school curriculum. The purpose of this programme was to utilize

Class

the final weeks of the year in a constructive and enjoyable manner and expose our pupils to a variety of experiences. The learners thoroughly enjoyed the activities on offer.

Finally, the team from TVG came and offered team building to our class of 2021. The learners thoroughly enjoyed the various activities on offer and learned a lot about working together to achieve a common goal.

We are so proud of all that the learners have accomplished this year. They have given their best, both in class and online, during what has been another challenging year, and we look forward to seeing them achieve great things in the future.

Grade Seven Refugee Camp

A refugee camp is a temporary settlement built to receive refugees. These camps usually accommodate displaced people who have fled their home country, but they can also made for internally displaced people.

Mr Pautz’ lesson on refugee camps enlightened the Grade 7 learners of the plight of displaced citizens. He made them think about the material options that refugees have in terms of viable shelter when they are exposed to the elements.

Grade Seven Entrepreneurship Programme

Each year as part of the Grade Seven Economic Management Sciences curriculum we cover a section on entrepreneurship. As part of the curriculum learners are required to gain practical experience by participating in a Market Day.

It has been a long established tradition at Atholl Heights that Grade Seven learners take part in fundraising activities throughout the year.

Over the last two years, the Entrepreneurship Programme has been affected by Covid-19 and learners have been unable to establish their businesses. In order to try and give them an experience as close to the real world as possible, they have been

required to establish e-commerce stores through which they can market and “sell” their products.

This year, learners were tasked with going through the process of establishing their businesses, from conducting market research, developing a business plan and finally creating their own websites.

Learners thoroughly enjoyed the entire process with many of them demonstrating their entrepreneurial abilities. I was very impressed by how the learners tackled this and showed such maturity considering the struggles many of them have faced due to Covid-19. Well done to the 2021 Grade Sevens.

Diary of a kid from Grade Four Mackensie

Diary of a kid from… Grade four Mackenzie

Dear Diary. Guests from Australia came to our house for a holiday. They were so kind. They showed me how to ride a Charger X. And then they gave me my birthday gifts. A plane with no remote or battery but it flew later on, a cap and a pen from Australia, Australian money and a pencil bag and sweets. My brothers were jealous of me. I was saying thank you so much. I am using my pen to write this. Blessings Jeremiah

Dear Diary. We were coming back from Scotland in a big aeroplane. A boy started watching me. When I am older I will make it a law that you can’t stare at people! Then his brother started staring. It was so irritating! Finally, they stopped. I was glad they were not on our next flight. Nathan van der Meulen

Dear Diary. At second break I was casually eating my food and laughing my mind out when… Number one the banana monster shot a banana peel at me. Number two my head was sore for over a month. Number three I have proof of my pain. Funniest day ever!

Dear Diary. Aghh my birthday was a mess! Well I guess it could have been worse. And you’re wondering what could have gone so wrong that made me say it was terrible. Here goes… the electricity got cut off on my birthday! Why out of all days it had to be today? My family and I ate my cake in the dark, it wasn’t even my favourite flavour. Just as we were leaving the table the electricity came back on! Zothile Dlamini

Dear Diary. Ok so I found out that when I go to my mom this Christmas, my brother, my friends (Mia and Zoe) and I are all going to Cape Town. It is going to be so fun. Just to let you know Mia, Zoe and my mom are all Afrikaans. I can’t wait! Kaitlyn Stocks

Dear Diary. After dinner my brother and I were running up and down. My brother broke my sister’s elephant. I was running and suddenly I was up in the air. We all know people can’t fly so then I slammed on the floor and went and crashed right into the wall. I give you advice. Never run in the house. AyabongaZulu

Dear Diary. I just found out what my granny did to her cat (Disclaimer this is a true story), so she told me that whenever her cat pooped she would grab the cat by the neck and rub its nose in the poop. She told me it worked! So I thought maybe I could do that if I get a cat so I could potty train it. Ethan Van der Merwe

Dear Diary. Today I pranked my brother, haha, it was hilarious! I got one of our friends on it. I told him to call my brother when I said so. In the meantime, I was getting ready. I took a spoon and put it in the peanut butter. Next, I hid behind the door with my phone and told our friend to call my brother. When it rang he ran for his phone. That’s when I jumped out and put the peanut butter on his face. It was so funny! You should’ve seen him. First, he laughed and then started chasing me! Shreeya Chetty

Dear Diary. Today I was playing outside with my sisters. A bird was flying over us when my aunt came to check on us. Then my sister was screaming and staring at something. It was the bird lying on the ground. It had passed away. My big sister dug a hole and we buried it. We cried, we laughed and then we went to bath.

Not many people do this because they have lived a boring life, inside and have died due to a lack of oxygen.

I will be reading Harry Potter on my couch eating some cake. Nobody will see me because I will be in my house all day, so I can get as fat as I want.

It will be a good excuse to get out of exercise.

If you see this I have successfully made it, turned 100 and probably partying.

If this doesn't get out I will be in my grave!

Grade Seven Broskie

Grade

The Grade Sevens arrived at school eagerly anticipating what lay in-store for their exciting day ahead. This year the Grade Sevens had a lot to look forward to as the team from TVG had planned a gamified treasure hunt. In order for each team to move from one station to the next, the learners had to complete set challenges.

Learners spent the earlier part of the morning getting their friends and teachers to sign their farewell books before getting started with the day's activities. Eventually the team from TVG got everyone settled and ‘Mr X’ got the day's events underway.

All the learners were split into smaller groups. Each group was issued with an iPad with the various activities set for the learners to complete. Groups rotated from one station to the next thoroughly enjoying every moment.

Grade

At lunch, Mrs Allorto and the catering team cooked up some scrumptious hamburgers and chips and each learner got a cool drink to wash it all down.

After the delicious hamburgers, it was time for the Grade Sevens to put their dancing skills on display. They danced to the sounds of Taki Taki, with some really incredible moves choreographed by our very own Mrs Monks.

Eventually it was back to the activities for a final few rotations.

Once all groups were done with their activities, the learners were treated to another surprise…Softserve icecream (the perfect way to end off a fun-filled day in the blistering heat).

Grade

Finally, it was time to say goodbye. All the classes gathered in their groups to say their emotional farewells to one another before the Grade Sevens were given their reports and were allowed to begin their December holiday early. Fun was had by all. Thank you to the TVG group, Mrs Allorto,Mrs Ridgeway, Mr Wing, as well as the Grade Seven teachers for all their hard work and preparation which went into ensuring the day was a huge success.

Heights PRIMARY SCHOOL

2021

We have been fortunate enough to continue with sport to some degree. We have continued with cricket for both boys and girls, mini-cricket, rugby, soccer, netball, softball, hip-hop, hockey, cross country, athletics, tennis, swimming, team 100, touch rugby, yoga, conditioning and extra sports for Grade One and Two, all of which come with a tremendous amount of organisation.

We were able to have a few internal matches and events. We held internal touch-rugby tournaments, cricket and mini-cricket matches, cross country races and tag rugby matches. Thanks to all our teachers and coaches who have given up their after-school hours and Saturdays to ensure that we can take part in school sporting events. Without your help our sports year would not have been a resounding success.

We introduced the Olympics theme throughout our PE sessions. We held ‘Sports Days’ for the children in their respective PE lessons. Children were able to compete in sprints, long jump, shot putt, high jump and relays. Although it was very different to our normal Sports Day Event, the children thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to compete in what they love!

We are so proud of the enthusiasm and dedication shown in these PE lessons.

Congratulations to those children who have achieved beyond the confines of Atholl Heights, those who have gone on to make PADSSA and KZN in various sporting codes.

Cricket 2021 faced some new challenges with the Covid-19 pandemic. All external fixtures were cancelled and an internal programme was drawn up, with the hard work of the coaching staff and players, it was completed successfully. The sanitising, temperature taking, social distancing, masks and lack of spectators made this a unique experience and one surely not forgotten.

The senior phase were able to produce 3 teams and each week played in a round robin 35 over format.

Our leading run scorers for the season were Connor Doig and Aarin Rasmussen with 102 runs.

Our leading wicket taker was Keegan Van Heerden who took 7 wickets. Results were as follows:

1. Googan Gang- 25 points (Mr Van Aswegen)

2. Webbers Warriors- 23 Points (Mr Webber)

3. Seagull Simps- 15 Points (Mr Sterling)

Our U9’s played against our U10’s and our Grade 5 and 7’s combined to take on our Grade 6 team.

The U10’s proved too strong with Keagan Seegers scoring 65 and Dylan Schilt 68.

Dane Sweet was able to take 5 wickets. Well done lads.

The open age group was tightly contested, after having the Grade 6’s 84 for 6, some stern words at the break saw Reeshavin Moodley (26) and Kye Brown put on a partnership(78) to allow the team to score 200 for 9 in 40 overs.

Kye Brown was the top scorer with 60 runs.

The Grade 7/5 team put up a brave fight and scored 175. Aarin Rasmussen top scored with 41 and a brave fight back from two Grade 5’s, Nihal Krishen(23) and Shane Fouche(15) gave the boys a glimmer of hope.

Above: Dane Sweet, Man of the Match. Atholl Heights vs Hillcrest

Okuhle Ntuli did us Proud!

On Friday 12 November, Our U9B Team played an international cricket Match against the U10B team. Okuhle Ntuli stepped up and made an amazing 57 not out. Great effort Okuhle. Well done!

Coach: Mr Bennett

Our U10 and U11 teams combined and the 4 teams played in a round robin 20 over format.

Matthew Schroeder (U11) who was able to score 100 in a match was the batsman of the tournament. Dylan Schilt (U10), Keagan Seegers (U10) and Shane Fouche (U11) all impressed with ball in hand while Zakariya Patel’s spin had the batters perplexed.

The U9’s were able to make two hard ball teams and played each other every week. Notable players were Ross Juckes and Dane Sweet as all-rounders while Joshua Van Kooten was impressive as a wicket keeper. We look forward to these boys’ progression in the Atholl Heights’ cricket family. The experience was well enjoyed by the boys and such interest is pleasing to see as we plan on growing the sport of cricket.

Girls Cricket in 2021 grew to 35 players. Each week they had practices and competed in an internal girls cricket match.

Nokubonga Zulu, Kayla-Jade Van Heerden, Kayla Driver and Hayley Burrows all impressed with bat in hand. Thando Ciliza and Chloe Morris bowled very well. I look forward to our girls’ cricket growing and setting up an external league.

Thank you to Mr Ayanda Shosa for the fantastic pitches each Saturday and the Groundsman for the upkeep of the fields.

Coach: Mr Webber

Mini-Cricket

Grade two Mini Cricket in the first term, was thoroughly enjoyed by both the coaching staff and children. The coaching staff approached each session with the most positive attitude and really went the extra mile to create a fun and competitive environment. The practice sessions were well structured and executed. The children really had a blast at the sessions and after two weeks the boys and girls were separated into mixed teams. The coaches hosted a Mini Cricket tournament over two weekends, on the Astro at Atholl Heights. Both weekends were a success and the children absolutely loved every minute of it.

The following boys and girls were standout players in the tournaments and look promising for the future.

Boys: Girls: Udayan Moodley Chelsey Johnson

Rivaan Seocharan Shimaya Moodley

Fanele Biyela Arabella Symington

In closing I would just like to thank all the coaches for the hard work and effort that was put in for the Mini Cricket season.

Coach: Mr Webber

Hockey

2021 started off with a bang, we welcomed new coaches and felt excited about what the new year had to offer. Hockey was back, and although we had to follow very strict protocols, which did not allow us to participate in external fixtures, we were able to approach the season with enthusiasm.

Despite the challenges, hockey coaching continued. We were able to focus on learning new skills and developing our advanced skills. This gave us an opportunity to build on what we already knew and strengthen our hockey abilities, which will greatly benefit all our players in the future.

Fitness was another aspect that could be focussed on, and the students were able to develop holistically for next year. Emphasis was placed on agility, speed and flexibility, these skills will foster great hockey players.

We would also like to congratulate Anna-Rose Rebelo, Jorja Majid, Dayyan Fudu, Blake Tooley and Thomas Gray for being selected to represent PADSSA.

We look forward to next year and hope that we will be able to participate in external fixtures again.

Coach: Mr Trenoweth

PADSSA Hockey Trials

On Monday 17th May and Tuesday 18th May the u12 and u13 hockey girls and boys participated in PADSSA trials at Thomas More College and Crawford North Coast respectively.

JP Extra Sport

Our Grade 1 & Grade 2 extra sport programme went ahead smoothly. Our children were taught various sports throughout the year; Cricket, Netball, T-Ball, Hockey, Rugby, Soccer and Tennis. Although we weren’t able to have our annual tournaments, the children loved the competitiveness and fun at the afternoon sessions.

Netball went ahead as per normal but without the external matches. Our girls played internal matches every second week, there was still a degree of competitiveness which was important for the girls to experience.

We were fortunate enough to go ahead with the PADSSA Netball trials, congratulations to Sinakho Ndlovu who went on to make the U12 PADSSA Netball Team. What an excellent achievement.

Rugby

Covid-19 once again had a significant impact on the Atholl Heights rugby season. All primary schools had to complete a compulsory 8 week conditioning programme before any matches were allowed to be played. Atholl Heights decided after 4 weeks of training that we would start internal touch rugby fixtures on Saturdays to get the boys playing competitive fixtures once again.

Once the 8 weeks were completed we were going to evaluate the situation with Covid-19 and see if it would be viable to begin playing inter-school rugby fixtures.

Two Saturdays of entertaining touch rugby fixtures were played. The U9 boys played tag rugby with the new addition of tag belts and straps. The U10’s played half-field matches and the U11’s and Opens played full-field fixtures. All Covid-19 protocols were put in place as children had to sanitize before and after their matches. Masks were to be worn before and after their matches were played. Parents were unfortunately not allowed on the school grounds.

All contact sport fixtures were put on hold before and more fixtures could be played as our country grappled with the 3rd Wave.

As MIC of rugby I truly hope that the boys will be back on the rugby field next year. Rugby is a team sport that builds character and friendships that last forever.

Coach: Mr Bell

In Term 2, Atholl Heights had their Cross-Country Friday races which were held on 21 May and 28 May. It was great to see the competitiveness amongst the runners. The runners got fitter and faster each week, which showed the determination to get better and better.

The overall fastest times for each age group were:

U9 Girls: Sanjana Madona - 12min 39sec

U9 Boys: Dane Sweet - 11min 07sec

U10 Girls: Kaitlyn Stocks - 12min 23sec

U10 Boys: Bradley Beeming - 10min 43sec

U11 Girls: Ngiphiwe Mkhwanazi - 18min 01sec

U11 Boys: Lwazi Phillip - 19min 01sec

U12 Girls: Camilla Daniels - 19min 16sec

U12 Boys: Kwenama Hlubi - 16min 15sec

Open Girls: Kayla-Jade Van Heerden - 17min 48sec

Open Boys: Connor Doig - 20min 53sec

We are very proud of the runners for taking part in Cross-Country in these difficult times. We cannot wait for Inter-School Cross-Country to start again.

On Sat 7 November, Courtney Grant (Grade 2), Nikita Grant (Grade 5) and Daniel Moynihan (Grade 6) took part in the Blue Ocean Aquatics Spring Splash Gala held at Creston College, Oslo Beach.

Courtney swam in the 8 year old girls age group and came 1st in all her races (25m Butterfly, 25m Backstroke, 25m Breast stroke and 25m Freestyle).

She was also awarded a trophy for the Top 8 year old Girl swimmer.

Nikita swam in the girls 11 year old age group. She achieved 2 x P.B.’s.

Nikita came 3rd in 100M and was tie for 4th place in her age group.

Daniel swam in the boys 12 year old age group. He came 1st in all his races (100M, 50m Breast stroke, 50m Butterfly, 50m Backstroke, 50m Freestyle).

Senior

Awards

We were fortunate enough to go ahead with our Annual Senior Primary Sports Awards, although it was done differently this year.

The children involved were invited to our prestigious morning on Friday 3 December 2021. We live-streamed the event for their parents to watch.

We had over 50 children excel in various sports that we were able to play throughout the year. (These sports events were somewhat restricted due to the Covid-19 pandemic).

We are very proud of all our young men and women who showed resilience and determination during a tough year.

Thank you to all our coaching staff who had to be innovative during their sessions, I really appreciate all your hard work.

Thank you to our parents who were so supportive of their children and the Atholl Heights staff during the year.

We look forward to a great sporting year next year.
