CWESl's Robben Island booking somehow got mislaid by the organi er of events during International Literacy Week bul Mr Goodwin stepped into the breach by leading a tour of Simon' Town, including a boat ride around the harbour. As he is an hi torian and omething of an expert on the area, our students were very lucky indeed and enjoyed them elve immensely. Mr Sylve ter led another group of tudent on an outing to Parliament, which was much enjoyed. Wynberg Boys' High School Magazine 2004
