SA SKOLE TOERNOOI

Wilanie het einde Maart aan die SA Skole Toernooi deelgeneem .Sy het no 1 in die Onder 19 span vir OP gespeel. Ons was maar baie bekommerd na die knieoperasie en ses maande se min tennis of Wilanie dit gaan maak en of sy die toernooi sal voltooi..

Ons het regtig verstom gestaan oor dit wat sy op die toernooi met n groot beenstut aan haar knie vermag het. Sy was tot op die laaste dag onoorwonne op die toernooi en het 5 van haar 6 enkels op no 1 gewen. Sy het die volgende provinsies se nommer 1 spelers onder 19 gewen: Vrystaat ,Gauteng , Gauteng Noord , Grens en Limpopo . Die nommer 1 speler van Gauteng Noord is die huidige SA Nasionale Kampioen 16 en onder. Wilanie is na afloop van die toernooi in die SA Onder 19 Skole Span gekies, een van slegs vier wit meisies op meriete. Daar het 16 provinsiale spanne aan die toernooi deelgeneem met ses meisies in elke span.

Wat haar prestasie nog meer merkwaardig maak is dat sy die enigste graad 11 leerling in die SA Onder 19 span is . Die ander drie meisies is almal graad 12. Ons is ongelooflik trots op Wilanie dat sy met haar beserings nie moed opgegee het nie, maar vasberade was om terug te veg. Dit is vir ons belangriker as die prestasie self.

UITVOERENDE KUNSTE

Nicole Hills, Keitlin Mitchell, Leah Nell, Marne Olivier en Carissa Struwig het gekwalifiseer om OP te verteenwoordig by die Talent Africa Nasionale Kampioenskappe vir Uitvoerende Kunste wat vanaf 24 tot 28 Maart in Roodepoort plaasgevind het. Leah het vir sang en dans gekwalifiseer en al die ander vir dans. Dansstyle het Modern(Jazz, Lyrical en Kontemporer), Hip Hop, Ballet, Broadway/Musikale Teater, Irish, Bollywood en Tap ingesluit. Leah, Nicole, Keitlin en Carissa kwalifiseer vir solo’s en groepe en Marne slegs vir groepe.

Die volgende medaljes is verower: Leah Nell: Totale Aantal Medaljes 10 (3x Solo, 7x Groepe).

Nicole Hills: Totale Aantal Medaljes 9 (1x Solo, 8x Groepe) Keitlin Mitchell: Totale Aantal Medaljes 9 (1x Solo, 8x Groepe) Carissa Struwig: Totale Aantal Medaljes 8 (1x Solo, 7x Groepe) Marne Olivier: Totale Aantal Medaljes 5 (5x Groepe) Al Bogenoemde leerders word opgeneem in die SA- Span om deel te neem aan die Wereld Kampioenskappe in New York vanaf 5-16 Julie 2015.

SA- SPAN VIR DANS

Nicole Hills, Keitlin Mitchell en Leah Nell neem vir dansgroepe in ‘n senior groep deel van 18 tot 24 jaar. Hulle is onderskeidelik almal 15 en 16 jaar oud.

SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS

Grey was proud to present the musical Seven Brides for Seven Brothers this past term. The show was staged at The Savoy Theatre and was a great accomplishment that relied on the skills of numerous people. Direction was handled by Pieter Rademeyer,

Musical Direction by Shawn Lyon and Choreography by Siobhan Day (Collegiate Junior). As for the main cast members, one can only say “Outstanding�. The lead roles of Adam and Milly were brought to life brilliantly in the hands of James van der Merwe

(Grade 9) and Candice Millar (NMMU student). Their singing and acting ability is truly remarkable. The rest of the talented cast and the Grey High Orchestra all contributed to an outstanding production of which we are very proud. Well done to all concerned!

EXCELLENCE REWARDED

Collegiate is very proud of two Matric 2014 young ladies, Kirsti Limbert and Ashley Vrancken, who were awarded ViceChancellor’s bursaries to study at NMMU. They were honoured along with other recipients at the annual Vice-Chancellor’s Awards Banquet. Kirsti earned eight distinctions in the Matric exams and Ashley Vrancken, seven distinctions.

A proud Mrs Morisse, Deputy Principal: Academics, with NMMU ViceChancellor’s Bursary recipients Kirsti Limbert (left) and Ashley Vrancken (right).

BUDDING MATHEMATICIANS

Academic excellence starts early at Collegiate Girls’ High School! The Collegiate maths team of four Grade Eight learners participating in the Junior section of the annual Alexander Road High School Mathematics relay, came FIRST in the second round!

A number of schools participate so this is indeed a wonderful achievement!

EC DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION HONOURS COLLEGIATE

What is more uplifting than to see young people reaching out to others in the community and giving to society in a selfless manner. Two Collegiate girls did just that recently which was brought to the attention of the school when nominated for the “Collegiate Girl of the Week” Award.

On her 18th birthday, Matric pupil, Amy Stickells quietly, and without anyone knowing, counted her blessings and took a group of children from the EP Children’s Home out and spoilt them, instead of having all of the attention on

herself. This act of kindness was never publicised, and it was by pure accident that we found out about Amy’s actions. Her generosity and for making a difference in the lives of those less fortunate than herself, makes Amy someone to emulate. Grade eight pupil, Zania Ingram, helped paint the new Aloe Igazi Paediatric Oncology Unit at the Port Elizabeth Provincial Hospital over a weekend this month.

Zania has shown commitment to those less fortunate than herself, and has made a real difference in the lives of others.

BRINGING HAPPINESS AT EASTER TIME

Imagine an Easter without chocolate eggs and then think how many people in the Nelson Mandela Metropole will have an Easter like that. The Collegiate Interact Club sprang into action and held a drive to collect at least 1000 eggs for the children at Van der Kemp Primary School in Salt Lake.

The total eggs collected reached 2105!

Van der Kemp Primary School is a very under-resourced school with 688 learners and only eleven teachers. However, the children were sitting quietly in their grades on the floor (the netball court, as they do not have a school hall). They were very well behaved and had been prepared for our visit. Mrs Debbie Jephta, the Principal, welcomed us and the two Head Prefects thanked us all for coming and welcomed us again. This made us feel honoured and valued for being there.

Raspberry tart

Make the most of these last rays of sunshine by whipping up this amazing tart that will surely bring a smile to your face.

INGREDIENTS 400g roll TODAY short crust pastry 4 tbsp. strawberry jam 2 egg yolks 125g smooth cottage cheese 125ml fresh cream fresh raspberries (for garnish) icing sugar (for dusting)

Line a 20cm loose-bottomed baking tin with the pastry, making sure to press the pastry around the sides of the tin and to prick the base with a fork.

Soften the jam with a spoon, and spread it over the bottom of the pastry layer.

Mix the yolks, cottage cheese and cream, then pour the mixture over the layer of jam.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until set.

METHOD Preheat the oven to 180˚C. Roll out the pastry to a thickness of about 1.5mm.

Once the tart has cooled, arrange the raspberries over the top, and sprinkle with icing sugar.

Serve with fresh cream, mascarpone or ice cream.

DID YOU KNOW?

Known as nature’s candy, wild raspberries have been gathered for consumption by humans for thousands of years. With their rich color, sweet juicy taste and antioxidant power, it is no wonder raspberries remain one of the world’s most consumed berries.

Raspberries can range in color from the popular red and black varieties to purple, yellow or golden. Each color berry has a unique composition of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

Eating one cup of raw raspberries will provide 54% of your vitamin C needs, 12% of vitamin K, 6% of folate, 5% of vitamin E, iron, and potassium, and 41% of manganese

needs for the day as well as lesser amounts of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B-6, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc and copper.

Raspberries contain the antioxidants alpha and beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, and choline.

Raspberries are also a powerful source of polyphenols such as anthocyanin, flavonols and ellagitannins, which decrease oxidative damage from free radicals and have shown potential in animal and human studies for preventing or reducing risk of chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease.

THEODOR HERZL SCHOOLS WELCOME NEW CAMPUS HEAD

At a moving Term 1 final assembly, Theodor Herzl Schools bid a tearful farewell to outgoing Head of Campus, Mr Stephen Fay, and a warm welcome to his successor, Mr John Alexander. The change of leadership comes after more than a decade, marked by positive growth. Mr Alexander, 53, has held senior management positions at Edgemead High School and International School of Hout Bay, both in Cape Town, and, most recently, Michaelhouse in KwaZulu-Natal. “Never stop chasing your dreams; strive to make your lives extraordinary,” was Mr Fay’s parting message to pupils. He presented the school with a trophy to be awarded each year to the Grade 12 pupil “who embodies the Theodor spirit that ‘if you will it, it is no dream’.” Mr Fay is relocating to Cape Town with his wife, Dr Lee-Ann Jones, and young son, Matthew.

CHANGE OF LEADERSHIP: Outgoing Head of Theodor Herzl Schools Campus, Stephen Fay, right, warmly welcomes his successor, John Alexander, to the school.

SCIENCE STAR 3RD IN SA

Theodor’s Sciences pupils excelled in the 2014 National Science Olympiad, the results of which has just been released. Most notably, Sumien van Zyl (pictured here with Life Sciences teacher Mrs Tanya Goodall) achieved a gold merit, with 93%, and was placed 3rd in South Africa in the Grade 10 Life Sciences Olympiad! The Grade 9 exam was written by 1751 pupils, a mere 6% of whom

achieved 80% and above – Theodor’s Isabella Liss and Muhammad Adam both among that special group.

Congratulations also to our silver certificate (60% and above) pupils: Abuzer Lookmanjee and Karli Nortier. In Grade 10, 1424 pupils wrote the Life Sciences exam and 17% achieved merits. Jodi Goldberg, Kayla Shefer and Zaakirah Dudhia achieved gold merits, and Emma Fourie a silver.

Sy het 28 jaar van haar lewe gegee aan die leerders en ouer van Verkenner. Hier sal sy vir altyd onthou word vir haar ongelooflike werks-etiek en

toewyding. Sy was ‘n musiek-onderwyseres van formaat en dit is hier waar haar groot passie lê. Dit was nodig dat sy moes oorskakel en tale sowel as Kuns en Kultuur aanbied. Hierdie taak het sy met ongelooflik doelgerigtheid aangepak en het gewys dat sy ‘n onderwyseres in murg en been is- Sy het vir niks gestuit nie!! Juffrou Maarschalk

se afskeidsgeselligheid is bygewoon deur familie, vriende, kollegas, ouers van die skool, oud-kollegas en selfs oudleerders. Hierdie was ‘n heerlike “vir ou laas saam kuier” voordat sy van nou af soggens mag laat slaap. Ons glo sy sal die skoolklok se lui mis, maar ons gaan haar net so mis!! Lekker rus, Juffrou Maarschalk!!

FESTIVE FUN WALK AND FAMILY DAY A record number of learners and parents took part in this year’s Fun Walk. As in previous years, every grade could choose a colour or theme for ‘dressing up’.

Families also camped in large numbers.

An array of jumping castles was definitely a winner, especially the zip-lining jumping castle, according to Phindo Nobadula. The Parents Association also treated the staff to a scrumptious meal. An addition this year was the “Dunk-a-Teacher” event that was hosted as a fundraiser to convert the swimming-pool into a heated pool. Emma Lucas commented, “I really enjoyed having a successful go at dunking Mr Foaden, our headmaster. However; I would not have been disappointed at all if I did not manage to dunk him.” Nicole Cherry added,” I loved the music and that we were allowed to speak to families on the microphone.”

Tronel Rabe en haar span is beloon vir hul toewyding met dankbetuigings en ‘n puik wins van ongeveer R90 000.
