HEADMASTER’S REPORT

This time of the year is all about endings and beginnings.

At the end of 2022, we take a moment to reflect on what has been a phenomenal year for Wynberg Boys’ Junior school. Most significantly, we have seen a return to normal schooling, i.e. pre-Covid schooling. To mention but a few instances, the boys could come to school without their masks; parents as well as guardians could attend school events and lend their support at sports events; school tours could take place again; cultural events could be attended; prize giving could be attended by boys and their very important people. In short, our boys have once again benefited from the full Wynberg experience.

Our boys have excelled in all four pillars: academic, culture, service and sport. Our teaching staff have excelled in adding to

and developing new skills. This has all been achieved in true Supera Moras spirit.

However, we also have to look forward to new beginnings, challenges and developments in our ever-changing environment. The world is a different place to what it was pre-2020. As a society, we were required to demonstrate a degree of resilience we did not know we were capable of. Our capacity for resilience will constantly be tested with the challenges we face on a global level.

Your child will be a minority in the grander scheme of things in that he will be part of a global minority with access to a privileged and sound education. We fully appreciate that most children in South Africa – approximately 93% of children - do not attend schools such as WBJS. This is the harsh reality and cause for reflection on our part.

Increasing demands are being made as a result of the influx of people into the Western Cape. As a result, the number of applications have increased exponentially in all schools, including WBJS. We have, for example, been requested to increase our class sizes from 25 to 30 boys.

Post-COVID we have had to shift our pedagogies and our way of doing things in order to accommodate new realities and the needs of the families and learners who attend WBJS. For instance, the very relevance of formal schooling has been brought into question with homeschooling and online offerings becoming popular choices for many.

Furthermore, the relevance of single-sex schools have also been brought into question with gender issues amongst pre-teens becoming a topic that we are compelled to consider. Some questions include how we best educate boys from age 5 to 12 about the fundamentals of respectful relationships, from friendships to romance? Expectations on the standards for appropriate boundaries, jokes versus harassment, flirting versus hurting and consent versus exploitation vary. This is apparent in what is regarded as acceptable in different communities.

Within a community as diverse as ours, we most often see the differences in these societal expectations manifest when issues present themselves. Teachers, parents and guardians are expected to serve as rolemodels for children. This is especially true when it comes to managing emotions and understanding feelings. However, we cannot teach what we do not know. For this reason, the Wynberg Campus of Schools employs counsellors as full-time staff to assist our children with the socio-emotional challenges they face. In addition, we are thrilled to be introducing conscious discipline into our school culture. Conscious discipline uses a self-regulation programme that integrates social emotional learning and discipline to cultivate emotional intelligence through everyday events. This initiative will be rolled out during 2023.

“

TEACHERS, PARENTS AND GUARDIANS ARE EXPECTED TO SERVE AS ROLE-MODELS FOR CHILDREN. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE WHEN IT COMES TO MANAGING EMOTIONS AND UNDERSTANDING FEELINGS. HOWEVER, WE CANNOT TEACH WHAT WE DO NOT KNOW. ”

We must be mindful that we, as parents and teachers, are preparing our children for the Fourth Industrial Revolution – an age that will be marked by more digitisation, artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics and the like. The ability to function effectively during this time, we will have to develop the appropriate skills at school. Cognitive flexibility, resilience, originality, initiative and emotional intelligence, together with creative risk-taking, leadership growth and the art of negotiation, are all skills to actively develop within our boys. And as a school, I believe that we have demonstrated our commitment to doing exactly that.

WBJS is moving forward as a school where our boys’ holistic development is our primary objective. The school aims to find a positive balance between tradition and innovation in all its programmes and initiatives. The school strives to further the culture of reflective practices and transparency that has delivered success.

We will continue to uphold our standards of excellence and to value all the contributions to our Wynberg Family – those made in the past, those being made in the present and those that will be made in the future, hopefully for many generations to come. Accordingly, we will align our strategic intentions and plans with our operational needs.

I cannot emphasise enough that we cannot achieve these goals without the support and hard work of the School Governing Body, staff, parents, guardians and boys.

However, I have no doubt that, together, we will meet the challenges the future may hold in the true spirit of Supera Moras.

Mr C Poleman Headmaster: Wynberg Boys’ Junior School

STAFF DEVELOPMENT

At WBJS, we enjoy team building once a term as part of our staff development. Our team building involves a range of activities and includes all staff across all the different departments of the school. Our aim is to bring out the best in our team. We had the opportunity to engage in many new

programmes like Kami and Conscious Discipline to enhance our skills as lifelong learners. We achieve self development through building positive communication, leadership skills, and the ability to work closely together as a team to solve problems. We do all this through having fun!

IN THE STAFF ROOM

The year 2022 has been an incredibly busy and eventful year in the WBJS staffroom.

Without question, there has been something in the water at WBJS as we celebrated four engagements and a wedding along with welcoming seven babies into our Wynberg family.

Congratulations to Mr Magerman, Mr Rousseau, Miss Strybis, Miss Saunders and Miss Cronje on their engagements this year. May the plans leading up to your big day go well and we look forward to seeing pictures of the special day in magazines to come.

Our best wishes go to Mr Van Der Walt, Mrs Abrahams neé Maree and Mrs Grant neé Fautley, who all got married this year, may you enjoy a lifetime of happiness.

Finally, congratulations to Mrs Sims, Mrs Knutsen and Mr Jappie on the birth of their sons and Mrs Pastor, Mrs Abrahams, Mrs Korck and Mr Ohlson on welcoming their daughters. We hope you and your family enjoy the special, exciting journey that lies ahead.

Celebrating a birthday is always a joyous occasion and we have been fortunate enough to celebrate three momentous birthdays this

year. Mrs Isaacs celebrated her 40th, Mrs Sauls celebrated her 50th birthday and Mr Gerber, who has been at WBJS for 28 years, celebrated his 60th birthday. Your Wynberg family hope you enjoy many more happy and healthy years ahead.

Mr Poleman achieved a very special award during Term 3 as he was honoured by the Western Cape Education Department for 10 years of service in education. We thank you for your dedication and notable sacrifices over the years to help the Wynberg boys be the best they can be.

Our staff are not only an inspiration to our boys within the classroom but many times they are role models outside the classroom. In April, Mrs James had the honour of being selected for a Western Province Masters Hockey team that participated in the SA Masters Hockey Inter-Provincial Tournament in Cape Town.

Congratulations to Mrs De La Cruz for completing the Cape Town Marathon in 04h40m. She belongs to 0.001% of the population who are able to achieve this.

Congratulations to Mr Oosterwyk for completing his advanced certification in teaching.

Mrs Alfino published the second and third books in her “Game Ranger Grace & the Big 5 Feelings” series – a collection of childrens’ books that expand the feelings vocabulary and develops Emotional Intelligence.

Mrs Said was selected as Chairperson of the Marketing Association of Public Schools and participated as a panellist in the Rustenburg Girls’ Junior School Communication Conference 2022. The aim of the conference was to showcase the evolution of the dynamic school cultural environment through various Communication platforms, the conference was broadcasted on Cape Town TV.

Although the staffroom is normally a very happy place, we do at times have to say goodbye to colleagues, who become family. We are extremely grateful for the time, effort and expertise you put into continually growing our school. Sadly we needed to bid farewell to Mr Smith, fondly known as Freddie, who retired in March. Mr Wienand, who plans to move to Canada with his wife and Mrs Knutsen who leaves for Germany with her family early in 2023, will be greatly missed by their Wynberg family. We wish Mrs Roos and Miss Saunders the very best as they continue furthering their studies in education. We wish all those who have left us, everything of the best for their next exciting chapter and we know they will be successful and valued wherever they go.

With every maternity or departure, we see the arrival of some new faces, we welcomed Mrs Walker, Mrs Grant, Miss Scott and Miss Parker-Nance.

We also welcomed new learnerships Miss John, Miss Louis, Miss Hawthorne and Mr Kensley.

With the busyness involved in returning to daily life at a boys´ school, we would like to thank all of our staff who have shown true commitment and admirable resilience in and outside the classroom to ensure all our learners learn and grow through innovative, enriching experiences.

SGB REPORT

As another year comes to an end, one naturally bemoans how quickly it has gone by.

So many things have taken place in our school community this year and the SGB has been astounded by the progress made and the numerous giant leaps that have been taken:

• We finally implemented the new infrastructure plans for the Grade R development. The temporary facility has exceeded all expectations, and provides a comfortable learning environment and a first-rate temporary solution until the permanent structure will be completed in early 2023.

• The resumption of the Grey Tour and other sport and cultural tours; reinstating traditions of old and affirming our relationships with institutions so entrenched in the school’s history.

The biggest and most thrilling change this year was the removal of the government COVID-19

mask mandate. The reaction was amazing on the first day back as boys looked at each other and smiled to no end. Some COVID-19 regulations still remain in play on school grounds, and we commend the staff and management teams for still being diligent in upholding them where they are required.

But not everything in life is made of big wins and we should not forget to celebrate our small victories; so essential to building on accumulated joy. Some of these include:

• The return of the Parent Association (PA) and fundraising events like the Mother and Son Movie Night, our annual Golf Day and the most recent Family Fun Day.

• Parents being able to watch competitive sport again, to hear the chanting, singing and cheering of boys in unity while supporting their Wynberg teams.

• The excitement of excursions and school camps being put back on the school itinerary, and

• Facility and technology upgrades such as the installation of the new supporter stand covers and the migration to VoIP for better communication.

This year, we saw a significant number of teachers engaged in personal development and formal training, with the intent of building on their career development, as well as to improve their methodologies and strategies for better teaching the boys. This was a seemingly modest sight to see which made the days a little bit more exciting.

While it has been a most positive year, we must not ignore the changes in the wider community and the challenges many families have faced in a stressful economic environment. We ask that you take cognisance of this and support the many charitable drives and social responsibility initiatives to help those less fortunate, whether through the Early Act Club at the school or your immediate neighbourhoods.

We can quickly get caught up in the humdrum of daily errands, drop offs and pickups, but we should remember that we all exist in this community and play a vital role in its flourishing and thriving. It is imperative that we all move in the same direction and contribute equally to its success. It cannot, and must not, be a case where only some participate and contribute within a broader expectation that the whole collective must thrive; a precursor for inequity.

We would like to take this opportunity to extend our appreciation to the school staff and management team for working and collaborating so well with us during this year and we look forward to another memorable and transformative year in 2023.

Mrs Y Cunningham School Governing Body Chair

“ IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE ALL MOVE IN THE SAME DIRECTION AND CONTRIBUTE EQUALLY TO ITS SUCCESS.”

PARENT ASSOCIATION REPORT

The start of 2022 saw the reinstatement of the Parent Association after a two-year break. It was also the year for a new Chair and Vice Chairperson to be elected. I, Mariette Barnett, took the position of Chairperson and Zaidah Regal as Vice Chairperson. Thanks must go to outgoing Chairperson, Michelle Lupke, for her years of service to the school and for reviving the Parent Association in 2017, specifically for the purpose of raising funds for the school. Michelle will be a mom of a high schooler next year and we wish the Lupke family all the best for the future.

Family Picnic

The first event organised by the PA is the Family Picnic and is held early in the first term so that Wynberg families, new and old, can meet each other in a relaxed environment. This year, it was evident that people have been craving to get together and socialise after two years of being apart as there was about 1200 people in attendance.

Movie Night

The Term 2 fundraiser was dedicated to the mothers and mother figures in our boys’ lives.

This year we got together for one big movie night! The venue was the indoor sports stadium at the Wynberg Military Base and once again, the bumper attendance proved that we have all missed personal connection opportunities. The selected movie was “Playing with Fire” starring John Cena, and the idea was to have a “quiet night in” for moms and their sons. The combination of a dark venue and glow sticks were however just too exciting to sit still for a movie and so we’ve learnt that we’ll have to include some action-packed adventures for our busy boys in 2023!

Fun Day & Market

The Term 3 event would normally be a Fun Run. However, this year we were not able to secure a venue that could accommodate this. So, with time running out, the decision was made to have the Fun without the Run! There were plenty activities for all ages including Dodge Ball, Bubble Soccer and a range of Carnival Games. The highlight was most definitely the Dunk Tank where boys were given the opportunity to not only dunk their friends, but their teachers too! There was a market where people could shop for beautiful handmade

crafts or sweet treats. Overall, it was a huge success, and everyone is looking forward to having this as a permanent fixture on the WBJS calendar. A lot was learnt at the first event of this kind and so the 2023 Fun Day promises to be even bigger and better!

My VIP & Me Events

After a process of consultation and consideration, it was decided that the Term 2 and Term 4 Parent Association fundraising events will now be referred to as “My VIP & Me” events.

This move is one we are incredibly excited about, as we acknowledges and respects the multiple family constellations that form part of our larger Wynberg community. This move is also one that demonstrates solidarity with and sensitivity towards our families who have lost parents to the pandemic. We recognise that labelling events with the expectation that they be attended by a mom or a dad, can cause needless stress and distress for some of our boys and their families. And we want everyone to feel not only welcomed at these events but embraced.

With that said, the first event under its new name is the “My VIP & Me Camp Out”. At the time of writing this, the Camp Out is still in a planning phase. The date is set to fall on a Saturday when the Springboks play against England in an Autumn International rugby match and Argentina play Mexico in the FIFA World Cup. Both these games will be played on a big screen for the boys and their VIPs to enjoy. Other activities planned are 5-a-side soccer, a scavenger hunt, and mini-Olympics. We are certain this will be another hugely successful event with lots of fun to be had!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the volunteers who have made this year a success. If you’ve worked in the tuckshop or served at an event in any way, please know that you are appreciated and that without you we would not be able to do what we do.

LEARNERSHIP REPORT

The learnership program has continued to grow and develop this year with a few new additions to the Wynberg Family. This year we welcomed Jesse Kensley, Jodi Louis and Amy-Leigh John, who integrated into our school so well that it feels like they have been with us forever. Holly Hawthorn joined the art department and has been teaching art to the Grade 1 and 2 classes. Gary Magerman and Camryn Gouveia qualify at the end of the year and will be leaving us to be first-year teachers. We wish them all the best and feel confident that they will make the best teachers.

What the learnership program has meant to the learnership staff this year:

I am now nearing the end of my time as a learnership teacher at Wynberg Boys’ Junior School. This marks the final stretch of my time here.

Since I have started here I have noticed the impact that the pandemic has had. Things have taken a backstep in each of our lives, including that of this incredible institution. However, here at WBJS our motto is “Supera Moras.” With the continued support of the Wynberg community; the staff, learners and parents, every challenge faced was taken head-on to which every difficulty has been overcome!

With that said, this “Supera Moras” spirit is what I leave with and take with me in my career moving forward.

Gary Magerman

I have been a part of Wynberg Boys’ Junior School for two years now and have grown so much in this time. I have been given great opportunities and allowed myself to explore within Wynberg. The Wynberg community is

loving and caring and WBJS really makes you feel a part of a family. My responsibilities have grown a lot this year and I look forward to seeing what WBJS has to offer in the future.

Tayla Jade Cronje

The Learnership opportunity at Wynberg Boys’ Junior School allowed me to gain practical knowledge in the educational space. This practical hands-on experience coupled with theoretical course work allows young student teachers to receive invaluable experience while studying. The Journey at Wynberg is both educational and fun. Trips to Grey, and other sporting and cultural events allows educators to form bonds with students outside the classroom. This is what makes a school like Wynberg very special. I would encourage anyone who is thinking of teaching to consider a learnership role at a school while studying.

Jesse Kensley

THIS PRACTICAL HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE COUPLED WITH THEORETICAL COURSE WORK ALLOWS YOUNG STUDENT TEACHERS TO RECEIVE INVALUABLE EXPERIENCE WHILE STUDYING.”

I started my learnership at Wynberg Boys’ Junior School in July 2018. Looking back over the past four and a half years I have learnt everything I know about teaching from the fantastic teachers that have mentored me. I have grown tremendously both professionally as well as personally and formed relationships that will always be cherished. I have also really enjoyed all the opportunities that I’ve been given to get involved in the different sporting codes. I feel so confident going into being a first year teacher.

Camryn Gouveia

“

This was my first year at Wynberg Boys’ Junior School. Overall my experience at Wynberg thus far has been nothing but positive.

Wynberg offers us as learnerships great opportunities to learn as well as better ourselves as individuals and as future educators.

The spirit and culture throughout Wynberg has been something I have enjoyed most. This is evident not only on the sports fields but in the classrooms and on the playgrounds too.

I am excited to continue this journey next year with Wynberg in my final year of studies and gain more experience.

Amy-Leigh John

By participating in the learnership program at Wynberg Boys’ Junior School, I have gained firsthand knowledge of the teaching profession. As a result, it has strengthened my desire to become an educator as well as deepened my love for working with children.

In addition to teaching me valuable skills, Wynberg has contributed to my personal growth. As well as providing me with such a nurturing environment, I am grateful for the mentors who have guided me throughout the year. There is no doubt that the learners have touched my heart and I hope that I have somehow had an impact on their lives in the same way that they have had on mine. In the course of achieving my dream of becoming an educator, this year has been a memorable experience that I will treasure forever.

Jodi Louis

After two terms at Wynberg Girls’ Junior School, to say that the boys were a big change would be an understatement. However, getting to know these wild, creative and hilarious little boys has been an absolute pleasure. Working at Wynberg Boys’ School has been such an incredible opportunity, and one which I certainly will never forget.

INFRASTRUCTURE REPORT

As things opened up this year and with parents and spectators being welcomed back onto the school it has been a very busy year with numerous sporting events, fundraising initiatives and concerts keeping the support team on their toes.

A good look at how these events are managed and the surrounding logistics has led to discussions and improving the working relationships between the Wynberg Campus of Schools . Together, we are all working hard to maximise safe parking options and trying to use all of our facilities more efficiently and effectively. We would like to thank the other schools for being as accommodating as possible.

With the deadline of our approved plans looming, it was imperative that we got started on the construction of our Grade R expansion

project. In order to do this we obviously needed to find an alternative space for our current Grade R boys. The decision was taken to rather invest in our own property and the old tractor shed and store has now been upgraded into an amazing classroom space. This space opens up options for us in the future once the boys move back to their new and improved building. We are extremely grateful to WGHS for allowing us to utilize their hockey clubhouse to house our other two Grade R classes.

“ THIS SPACE OPENS UP OPTIONS FOR US IN THE FUTURE ONCE THE BOYS MOVE BACK TO THEIR NEW AND IMPROVED BUILDING.”

It was no small task clearing out the storeroom. It did did give us the opportunity to dispose of things we realistically will not be using in the future. We were also able to make some

donations of desks, chairs and other furniture to schools in need. Some really old treasures were found and duly sent up to the Wynberg Museum at WBHS.

Without the tractor shed and store, we were in need of additional storage space. This led to the installation of a waterproof shade awning over the concrete steps at the end of the B field. This not only enables us to store our large rugby protective wedges out of the rain and sun but has also created a nice seating area for pupils and spectators. It was great to see how people gravitated towards this area at the Fun Day to take a break from the sun.

There have also been some improvements to the school’s security and access control. A donation from Automation Africa of a centurion D6 smart gate motor, allowed us to convert our Oxford Road gate to a sliding gate, which can stay closed during the school day, with staff being able to open it using their cellphone. A new pedestrian access point was put in at Cavan Road allowing easier access to the hockey astro. The addition of technology has also allowed certain staff to have complete control remotely of the school alarm systems.

At the time of writing the construction at the Grade R expansion project is on track with all the demolition complete and the walls of the second floor currently at roof height. It is expected that construction will be complete at the end of February 2023.

AFTERCARE

The beginning of 2022 welcomed busy boys with hectic schedules! How wonderful it is to go back to the way things were.

The boys looked forward to going back to their various sporting activities and as hectic as it may seem at times, it is wonderful to be managing and assisting our boys as they do what they do best, “Keeping busy”. From enjoying time on the sports fields, jungle gym, playing cars and blocks to playing competitive hand tennis tournaments, you name it.

When it was time to refuel, the boys loved their sarmies and endless supply of juice and on the colder days, the boys enjoyed yummy hot chocolate after a rugby practice. Chicken and butternut soup was a welcomed surprise especially for our older boys. Treat time is a special time for all our boys. A time to socialize with friends and enjoy a treat packed from home.

We introduced supervised homework for our boys in all grades. Many of the boys showed resistance at first but soon realized its benefits. For many this meant more screen time at home and for others the idea of doing it with a friend seemed far more interesting.

It was a very special occasion to witness our “Old Faithful’s” take a walk down memory lane on Founders’ Day when visiting Aftercare.

As this year comes to an end, we are filled with love and gratitude for our boys and their parents. Your love and support is appreciated. To our dedicated team of resourceful women, you are valued.

“ THE BOYS LOVED THEIR NEW SPACE ESPECIALLY THE LARGER PLAY AREA AND ASTRO WHERE MANY BALL GAMES WERE PLAYED AND A LOT OF RUNNING WAS DONE. ”

GRADE R

The new cohort of boys in 2022 soon settled into their Grade R classrooms. New friendships were formed and the boys became used to the morning routine with all still wearing masks. For some it was the first time going to school because of COVID-19.

We had invaluable help from assistants, Cindy February, Courtney Wilkins and Gaia Hendrickse.

Swimming lessons began almost immediately. Some of the boys were very confident in the water whilst others were not as confident.

Sports day was a big event for the boys during Term 1. Each child participated, wearing their respective house shirts, in a flat race as well as a fun race.

Our first outing was to the museum in Hout Bay where we learnt about the different types of lipids and other rockpool creatures. This was

followed by a walk to the Rock Pools where we managed to find and hold all the creatures we had learnt about.

Our outing in Term 2 was to Rosen Castle which the children thoroughly enjoyed. They learnt how to work at a Checkers, an animal hospital, TV studio, Absa Bank and also as a Chef. Their orals were about what they wanted to be when they grew up. We are going to have a very strong firefighting department when they complete their schooling as this was one of the more popular career choices.

The boys began Term 3 in our new temporary premises as building work on the current Grade R building began during the holidays in earnest. The boys loved their new space especially the larger play area and astro where many ball games were played and a lot of running was done. Another exciting experience was the end of mask wearing! It

was such a relief for both the boys and the teachers to be able to see faces and to hear voices properly.

Our outing in Term 3 was to SANCCOB. The boys learnt about penguins and other sea birds. They also had a very informative lecture on pollution and littering.

Our interhouse cross country races took place at the end of August and we had very keen and fit runners amongst the Grade R learners.

The Grade 7 pupils read stories to our boys during book week and there was a Dress Up Day, as your favourite book character. Our very innovative and creative parents made wonderful home-made outfits for their sons.

PUPILS

During Term 4 we welcomed Tracy from the Reptile Rehabilitation Centre who brought a couple of her friends with her. A few of our boys were brave enough to hold some of them!

We celebrated Halloween by wearing scary costumes and playing games such as bobbing for apples and trying to eat a hanging doughnut with no hands.

We walked to Maynardville for a picnic during the final week of school and finished off Term 4 by having a class party and by wearing pyjamas on the last day.

We would like to thank all the parents who so generously gave of their time to help with lifts to outings and baking for the bakerman. Owing to your assistance and involvement we are now able to purchase many new pieces of playground equipment.

THE WIZARDING WALRUS

He lives in an old messy cramped cave. With books scattered every where on the floor and weird jars filled with some substance in it. He is big with huge tusks and pale teeth and calm eyes and a big mouth. He has wrinkled skin and huge flippers. When he is mad the wrinkles go smooth and when he is cold he goes white.

Most days he is sitting in his cramped cave reading books. Sometimes he helps other fish. When he was young never knew any spells. Now he learns all the spells. He always brags he knows all spells but he realizes he doesn’t.

Charley Carikas

SANDY SIDEFISH

Sandy Sidefish lives in a very polluted ocean. Where he lives is on the top of the big blue ocean. If he would live down in the sea he would love to live in the great barrier reef!

Sandy Sidefish is an orangey peach with a white underbelly. He has two huge eyeballs and a gigantic smile. He has two big fins and a long tail.

Sometimes he can’t control himself. Usually he gets so excited he doesn’t even blink. He is always unhappy because he never gets to see anybody.

He lives too close to the shore to make friends. He always hovers on top of the sea so he never gets to see anybody so he can’t even see a fish.

M. Qaa’id Laher

DELIGHTFUL DOLPHIN

Delightful Dolphin lives in a shallow crystal clear sea. He also lives in blue transparent waters with lots of fishy friends. He also lives in nice and cool turquoise waters, kind of like a

hotel. He is light black with blue eyes and very fit. He also has a really good smile and he has a fin that is as sharp as a knife. Also he looks like a true Wynberg gentleman.

Usually he acts like a true Wynberg gentleman because he is extraordinary. Sometimes he swims at the speed of light.

Delightful Dolphin also loves to help other fish when they need help with hard things.

His problem is that he is way too kind and for example he does all the fish’s shopping and work. The end Liam Mentor

PSYCHIC SEAL

He lives in a big cool sunken lighthouse in a town. The lighthouse is close to a coral reef that has a trench close to it. He is very happy to live there. He is a big brownish gray seal with a stripey top. He has two big tusks and a hat. He wears a pair of glasses too and a big fat nose.

Psychic Seal loves to mumble a lot and eat at the same time. His way of swimming is like a sea snake. He is a gentleman like a wynberg boy.

He is very nice but he uses his powers too much so the fish are scared he is going to use it on them.

The end.

Nicolas Koornhof

DEMOLITION DOLPHIN

Demolition Dolphin lives in the only dark spot in the ocean where all the light is dark. The west of the ocean is as bright as the sun but the only dark spot is his home. There are lots of seaweed on the outside but on the inside there are lots of sharp rocks and no light.

He is dark grey and has big red eyes and a giant fin. He has a tiny mouth but huge teeth that are the size of your head. His teeth are as sharp as a knife and they are shiny and yellow teeth. He used to be the nicest fish ever but then he got sick and now he is the worst fish in the ocean. He loves to brake everything he wants. When he is super sad which is everyday because he has no friends.

Demolition Dolphin has a thing that whatever he looks at brakes and now he has no friends.

HOW THE ELEPHANT GOT ITS TRUNK

A long, long time ago in the hot African savanna lived a small, playful baby elephant. The elephant at this time were a bit different to what weŕe use to today. They had short, stubby noses that could only wriggle about. There was one problem with the baby elephant. He asked too many questions so his family and herd got very, very annoyed!

One day he asked, “What do crocodiles eat for lunch?” The rest of the herd just said, “Don ask!” He decided to ask young, wise Snake and he did. Snake told him, “Ask him yourself.” Off he went to find scaly Crocodile. When he finally got to the river he had to wait one minute but to him it felt like ten hours. As soon as Crocodile got there, Elephant shouted, “What do you eat?” Crocodile replied.

HOW THE CHEETAH GOT ITS SPOTS

A very, very long time ago, in a cold rainy and thundery forest lived a powerful and cheerful cheetah who always cheered. Cheetah asked Mouse nicely, “What are we going to eat?” Mouse replied, “You are going to eat pigs, sheep and cows, while I’m going to eat cheesy chips.” Meanwhile Cheetah zoomed off into the distance.

Later on that Wednesday afternoon, Cheetah and Mouse slept comfortably. They woke up so tired, but then they fell silent. Suddenly as they stood up the moon appeared and they knew it was hunting time for the lions. They both ran away from their home as if there was a monster chasing them. Cheetah and Mouse screamed, “Oh no!” as they saw a lion on the way towards them. The lion saw them and chased after them.

THE DOG AND HIS BONE

Everyday Jeffrey the brown sad, hungry and white dog waited as patiently as a shopping item outside the old, wise and forgiving butcher’s shop. Then the Butcher gave the dog a juicy, small, meaty bone.

Immediately the brown dog was skipping out of the Butcher’s Shop like he had won the lottery and he headed home as he wondered where he must hide his meaty treasure. He wondered how it would taste after a week or two. As he neared home he found a footbridge and realised how thirsty he was. He took some sips and then noticed a bigger dog, with a bigger bone! “That’s not fair!” he thought. He jumped into the cold river as cold as Antarctica without thinking and as a result he had to drop his bone.

THE DOG AND HIS BONE

A long time ago there was a sad, hungry dog that was walking through the town and walked by the butcher’s shop. The dog had white thick fur and short soft ears and big brown spots. The butcher gave the dog a big thick juicy ribeye bone. Ater the kind, nice, tall butcher gave the dog a nice, juicy, thick bone, he decided to leave the town and go back home. He walked across the long footbridge. He then saw an identical dog with a bigger bone. He wanted to take the dog’s bone. So he jumped in the water and made a massive mistake. There was no dog and no bone. What he saw was his reflection. So he walked out of the river and back home with no bone. The lesson is to not be greedy.

THE DOG AND HIS BONE

One sunny August morning a sad hungry dog ran past a butcher’s shop. This small dog was white and black. He had short, rough, hard ears.

The butcher had a good heart. He gave him a big, nice bone. After the kind butcher gave him the big nice bone, the dog decided to take a walk over the wobblybridge until … He looked in the water then he saw another dog with a bigger bone than him. He wanted the dog’s bone but he dropped his nice big bone in the river. He only realised that it was all his reflection. Never ever be greedy.

HOW THE ELEPHANT GOT HIS TRUNK

A thousand years ago there lived a small, kind elephant that would always annoy his family. So one day he asked one of the elephants, “What do crocodiles eat?”

The elephant told him to ask somebody else, so he did. He went to a snake and he asked the snake, “What do crocodiles eat?”, he said. Why don’t you ask him in person. So he went wondering off.

So he stumbled across a group of lions and he asked, “Is there a crocodile somewhere?” he asked. He checked over there. And then he saw a river and he saw some eyes peaking up from the surface and he asked, “What do crocidiles eat?” he said. The elephant came closer and with that he pounced on the elephant and he grabbed the elephant’s nose and started pulling it and once he let go his nose was so long. And now he could do things he couldn’t do before.

Cohen Nel

There was a elephant. He was always asking questions and that made him nosey, and curios. The elephant was strong, brave and annoying. His name is Jack. Jack is gray, small and friendly. Jack has a short nose. Jack is bored everyday and only has fun on Saturdays, since his family comes back with food.

Jack was curios, he asked one of the other elephants, “What do crocodiles eat?” The other elephant said, “Don´t ask!” Elephant went to his other friend, Snake, he said, “Ask him yourself.” The Elephant went to the crocidile and asked, “What do yo eat?” the crocidile said come closer. The elephant came closer and the crocidile said, “I eat elephants!”

The elephant panicked. The crocidile held him by the nose. It stretched. He kept saying “Let go!”

Eventually he let go and Elephant’s nose was long. His friend snake said it may be useful. Snake was right, it was useful. Jack could pick food from trees easier. Jack went to his family. His family said, “Why is your nose so long?” Jack said crocidile gave it to me. Then everyone started to get long noses slowly. Thats how everyone got there long noses. All of them were happy except crocidile.

THE OCTOPUS

Once upon a time there lived an impatient, annoying octopus with ten strong arms. He had blue, beautiful eyes and a small mouth with sharp teeth. His favourite food was small fish called plankton.

At the shops shark was waiting to pay, then octopus got his food and went to pay.

Octopus went infront of shark then shark said, “Please octopus wait your turn”, but octopus just said “blah blah”. Then octopus paid and left.

The next day octopus went to the pet shop to get food for his pet starfish, who was always hungry. So he went to pay and he saw dolphin. She was waiting her turn. Then octopus pushed infront of dolphin. Dolphin said, “Octopus please wait your turn like the other animals.” “blah blah” said octopus.

Then octopus went to the comic book store, where he saw fish in the line.

Octopus got his favourite comic, Poseidon and the Rise of Megalodon. Then he got to the line

where fish was waiting his turn so Octopus pushed infront of fish. Fish said in a angry voice, “Octopus wait your turn”, Octopus was a bit scared but he just said “blah” and he left.

Now all the animals were very angry so they went to the god of the ocean, Poseidon. He was angry. Poseidon went to find octopus Octopus in the ocean monument. Then poseidon said, “Octopus wait your turn or I will curse you!” said poseidon. “Blah” said octopus. Poseidon was really angry. Now I shall curse you. Now if you try to cut in line you will get electricuted. But octopus just ignored him.

Never push in line or Poseidon will curse you next!

When the kind butcher saw him, he gave him a juicy, chewy and fleshy bone. The Siberian Husky trotted off happily wagging his tail. He was trying to think of where to bury it and how delicious it would be in a week or two.

The Siberian Husky realized that he was thirsty. He was crossing a bridge so he decided to drink some water from beneath the bridge.

When he went down to drink the water, he saw a bigger dog with a much bigger bone. He thought it wasn’t fair. He jumped into the water but he dropped his bone. He realized it was his reflection. He learnt to not be greedy. Yaqeen Ebrahim

WHY DOES IT SNOW?

Not too long ago, in a snowy forest in the south part of Norway, it was really windy, because a huge tornado had just started. The tornado took one month to die down but it was still really windy. It was so windy all of the clouds started falling onto the ground. It even started to become soft and mushy!

Eventually the whole earth became covered in mushy clouds. But the season changed and the sun came out. After a while they decided to call it snow because they don´t s(know) how it got there.

The weather became very hot, so hot it started to melt the snow. Slowly all of the snow melted. It took awhile but all of the snow melted.

All of the people started to celebrate. Fayaaz Davids

WHERE DOES LIGHTNING COME FROM?

Long ago, when the world was still quiet there lived a mountain goat.  He was a genius but he wondered a lot.  He wondered why the sky was always blue, why animals looked different and why he needed food and water to survive.  But he mostly wondered why it only rained, because he was very fussy when it came to noises.

He didn’t like it when it rained because it was one one sound.  He wanted there to be different sounds and he wanted there to be more action, so one gloomy day the mountain goat climbed up a tall mountain so that he could see above the clouds to see what was going on up there. He took a massive leap off the mountain and landed on a cloud then he went to the biggest cloud and he bit some hair off his tail and he threw it in the cloud. It melted so he bit some hair off again and threw it in.

There was a big flash of light and a big noise then he realised that he had made something. So he bit more hair off and threw it in and went home.

He threw himself on the ground as he was very tired after a long day’s work.  He thought long and hard about a suitable name for his creation. In the early hours of Sunday he came up with the perfect name, LIGHTNING!!!

So from now on every Sunday all the mountain goats climb up that same mountain and take that same leap onto the cloud and they bite some hair off their tails and throw it in to keep the cloud topped up for the week.

Brett Liddell

Long ago, when lightning and thunder didn’t exist, nature in the grasslands was peaceful. Rain Storms were also very peaceful and quiet.

One day a group of tribesmen were out hunting, because they had over-hunted back home. When they got to the top of a ledge they saw Snake hiding in the grass. “Where are you off to?” asked Snake. “Hunting.” replied a tribesman. “Hmph what do I care?” said Snake impatiently. “By the way you’re all going to become food!”

With that Snake disappeared through the grass. When the tribesmen made it to the top they saw hundreds of animals. Instantly two tribesman got in a fist fight over a zebra and went tumbling down the mountain. “Well, I guess now there are only like … twelve of us left to share the food with.” said one tribesman. “NO YOU SHALL NOT!” boomed a voice. “Oh no …” said one tribesman. “The gods are mad at us!”

Suddenly a big blue bolt struck the ground and a noise rumbled through the sky, scaring off all the animals and punishing the tribesman for over-hunting. Luckily the storm past. But now we call those bolts lightning bolts and the noise thunder, and about those tribesman that fell off, they’re still alive. Just hanging from a rock. Nothing too much.

Daniel Wesson

Long ago, when Dragons and Tigers lived, there was no thunder and lightning or much light besides the sun. The Dragons were pretty mean to the Tigers and often attacked.

Years later the Tiger population was pretty high. The Dragons were not happy. The King Dragon planned to attack but he had something up his sleeve. He planned to kill all dragons and tigers and bet the only one living. He got candles and stuff and summoned Fire Dragon. He was one of the evilest gods in the universe …

Fire Dragon broke out in rage and flew to the Biggest Forest on the island. All Tigers lived there. He set the forest on fire. Some tigers got burnt and some injured. Seconds later the Dragon screamed. He glimpsed at something he’d never seen before. Rawrrrr (who are you?) Rawrrrrr (Your death.)

Next fire Dragon fights back. Then … rumble … they see a wave of lava. Everybody ran. The dragon shot burning hot flames. Plants and leaves burst into flames killing some air Dragons and Tigers.

Then the Mysterious dragon shot bone chilling freezing air. They mixed – then. A flash appeared. One tiger survived. He looked around. Flames everywhere. Ear-bleeding noises. What he saw, was thunder and lightning.

WHY DO LEAVES CHANGE COLOUR?

Why do leaves change colour you may ask. No it’s not about the seasons. It’s about something else.

There is a village deep down in the forest and in the village there was a witch and wizard who were enemies or should I say frenemies.

hey liked and hated each other at the same time. Well, the wizard really liked the leaves. So every year he would change the colour.

The first year he would change it to green and the second year he would change it to orange. The final year it goes brown and would fall off!

The witch did not like it, so one day she, “I’ve had enough!” After that she grabbed an axe and chopped down all of the trees, but just the next day Mother Nature came down to the witch and said in anger, “You will plant all of these trees again!” And the witch did what she was told.

WHERE THUNDER AND LIGHTING COMES FROM

Long ago, just after Woorld War II, in East Asia, a small boy asked his mother, “Mommy, where does thunder and lightning come from?” The mother replied, “Well, we’ll have to go to the museum of myths to find out, won’t we.”

The next morning they went to the museum of myths. It was a big, ancient building covered in green ivy. The boy saw a gold plate with writing on it.

Then he started to read it. The writing read: This is where thunder and lightning comes from. Read more to find out. Legend says that all the

soldiers who died during World War II never really died. In fact they still kept on living in the clouds. They started off drifting aimlessly until, one day when one Russian soldier and one American soldier saw each other and started fighting and fighting until the Russian killed the American, again and for real this time.

Meanwhile on Earth there was lightning when the American died and thunder while they were fighting.

The Americans (in the clouds) heard of this and started attacking the Russians, Europeans and the British. They are still doing it this very day and that is where thunder and lightning comes from.

After the boy had finished reading the myth, he went to find his mother, so he could tell her all about where thunder and lightning comes from. Once they had gotten home it started to storm. There was thunder and lightning. Then the mother asked the small boy, “So did you find out where thunder and lightning comes from?” “Yes”, said the boy. Uthmaan Ebrahim

Long ago,when technology was just made, there was a boy called Shota. He was gifted wings.Shota lived in a small village called “Noctios”. At the age eleven he was having the best time of his life soaring through the big and puffy clouds. One stormy day all moctios plants were drwoning. The villagers asked Shota what was happening. He flew up to the big, puffy and stormy clouds. Shota discovered there were weather spirits. They were fighting about which colour was best.

It wasn’t just two of them, it was all of them. “It’s blue!” “No red!” “It’s purple!” “Purple is creepy!” “The best colour is orange!” “No maroon!” The spirits kept fighting and fighting. Suddenly

a spark of lightning came out of one, and thunder out of the next one. The villagers could see this happening. Shota made the weather spirits calm down. When they did a rainbow appeared. Shota flew back down to the village and told the villagers about the weather spirits, and now they know where thunder and lightning comes from.

M. Raadhi Damon

Long ago the Greek gods were up in Olympus in their golden palace arguing for chunks of Earth. Then Zeus had enough. Later that day he called a meeting. Zeus started, “I hate listening to all of you bickering and hope you’re done with all this nonsense!” But none of the God’s listened, so they kept bickering.

Zeus kept getting angrier and angrier. Until he couldn’t take it anymore. He called them all in and shouted very loudly. “I’m tired of you all shouting and screaming at each other about stupid things like towns and cities and if I hear one more shout you are in a lot of trouble. The other gods did not care and carried on bickering. Zeus went insane shooting thunder and lightning everywhere. The gods tried to stop him but he was too powerful. They needed help.

The God’s called reinforcements from all over Greece. Hundreds of armies came to help and finally they brought him down. That is where thunder and lightning comes from, because, Zeus gets mad and goes insane.

Liam Lamb

WHY LEAVES CHANGE COLOUR

Long, long ago when huge Neanderthols roamed the land, the leaves were all different colours. The leaves were pink, green, yellow, red, orange and even blue. The animals that lived there were not like animals today. They had heads of horses and bodies of leopards. Little did they know that would change, but that’s a different story.

One day the Neanderthols decided that it was very hot, so they went and sat under a tree. They thought it was annoying to have all these colours near them. They went home and made a warm fire. They realised that it made the trees around them brown. This they found wierd.

They were sitting there for a long time planning what they were going to do. They finally came up with a plan. They put green colouring on the trees for a period of time. Then for another period of time they put flames around the trees which made heat which then made leaves go brown, and that’s how leaves change colour every season. Cameron Quinn

HOW WE GOT THUNDER AND LIGHTNING

Fourteen years ago late at night in winter, there was a joyous rhino with grand skin. He was admired by the country, walking on red carpets and visiting celebrities day after day. One day, he went to his grandma’s house to have dinner in a lightning storm. He decided to call an uber to go there as it was a 17 hour drive and a 48 hour walk. Sadly, his uber never came and he had not seen his grandma in a long time so he decided to walk. He got there 2 days later. He had nothing to do, so he walked quite slowly to his grandma’s house from the red carpet. Suddenly, a storm came across from behind him and he got struck by lightning and rose into the clouds. His eyes turned yellow and he screamed so loudly that the whole world could hear it. Afterwards, he went to his mom and dad. They were very surprised at what they heard.They heard that

he was the god of thunder. That’s how we got thunder and lightning.

Kayd De Klerk

One morning millions of years ago on an Island in the Bahamas, there lived a charming young man called Zeus. His voice was very deep and everyone loved him.

One morning a man spotted Zeus and followed him home.The man’s name was Areas. Areas hated Zeus so much. Once Areas started spreading nasty stories about Zeus. Zeus did not like this, but still did nothing. Hearing these stories, the people hated Zeus. Zeus never had a care in the world and still Zeus loved the village. One morning, Areas and the people of the village had had enough of Zeus. Every morning they all woke up before Zeus and came up with ideas to fight Zeus.

Then Areas and the village came up with a plan to get rid of Zeus once and for all. I have to admit their plan was very good. If I was Zeus I wouldn’t make it past the first round. Their plan was diabolical. First Zeus came out of his house and then they started throwing food at him but Zeus didn’t care. The next morning they put thorns where he walked. They did this every morning. Finally, Zeus had had enough. Zeus fought back. This happened for months on end. Zeus created a thunderstorm to hurt Areas. In the end Areas lost the battle. There was a truce and the village was peaceful. This is why we have thunder and lightning.

Raeed Samaai

One day when Earth was being made God decided to make it rain, but the angels asked “Why are you making this?’’ God said “To help my plants grow.’’

God wanted to create thunder and lightning, but He could not decide if He wanted to make it. God asked the angels if he should or shouldn’t create thunder and lightning. The meanest angel saw this as an opportunity to destroy the world.

God knew this, so he cancelled the voting and told all the angels except the meanest one. God made thunder and lightning. When the voting happened, God waited for the meanest angel to arrive.

When the angel came, God chased the angel away with thunder and lightning. Till the present day, whenever the mean angel tries to enter heaven, God throws thunder and lightning at him. When God misses the angel, the lightning and thunder hits Earth and destroys places, people and things.This is why we have thunder and lightning. ”I have to go before God finds me’’ says the narrator or more commonly known as the meanest angel.

LETTER TO KIRSTENBOSCH

Dear Kirstenbosch

Thank you for bringing me to Kirstenbosch

I thought it was really fun. I enjoyed making plants and seeing the coca cola lake for the first time. It has been a while since I have been there and I really enjoyed the huge bridge. But I do suggest to make another activity for outside like that all children Will enjoy, if you do have any ideas for outside activities.

Sincerely, Jeremy Blake

Dear Kirsten Bosch KJ, Claremont 18 Budock street

How are you doing? I hope my letter has reached you at a good time. It has been a few weeks since I visited you and saw you guys. When I was on my way on the bus I was excited and when I left I thought to myself I’m going to come back here with my family this term. I loved the planting and the walk. My suggestions are that because it was raining we should do more rainy days activities. I really loved the walk.

This term I will arrange to go to Kirsten Bosch garden with my family.

Sincerely, Moeketsi Skeyi

Dear Kirstenbosch

Hey how are you guys? Hope you are well, its felt like forever since we last met. I just thought I’d leave you a thank you letter.

Thank you for allowing me to visit and learn about plants, animals and biodiversity. I really enjoyed the hiking activity as I got to see so many plants and trees, I just wish the hike was longer. On the hike my favourite thing was the boomslang as I think it was very cool.

Your’s truly Iyaad Lakay

DEAR: Kirstenbosh

Hi Kirstenbosh How are you doing today? I realy enjoyed the walk that we did and I liked it when we made the plant and one more thing I enjoyed the activity that we did.

Next time cood we go for a longer walker and cood we do more activities to do. One more thing THANKS YOU!

Cheers, Seth Elliott

Dear Kirstenbosch staff,

I would like to thank you for putting in the effort to let us have a great experience, making the plants were lots of fun and the walk was wonderful, I wish I could go there again Sometime soon. I do have one suggestion though, if you could let the boys without a death wish go across the bridge quickly, instead of taking a photo, but otherwise it Was lots of fun to be there. There was some big spiders there too.

THE TERM 2 SCHOOL HOLIDAYS

At the end of the school day I was filled with excitement and ready to get home. Once I got home I ate lunch and played Ps4. On that saturday I attended Micahs party. We had so much fun we played laser tag and it was a sunny day. Later I visited riley’s house where we played video games, soccer and bounced on the trampoline.

On the following Monday I had sushi. For the next two days I played cards and Ps4 at my dad’s house. On the Thursday I had a playdate with Shailin.Shailin and I were playing on his switch and played cards. Then I went to my moms house and went on some hikes and I watch T.V and that was all I did and played on my phone.

Then I went to my dad’s house and played Ps4 and on Wednesday I went to Rileys house again. We played xbox soccer and we watched a movie.

Dear Ma’ am

Thank you for the lovely outing at Kirstenbosch Gardens on Friday.

I really enjoyed it and wished I could come back. It was cool when we were putting the plant on the object. I enjoyed learning about the plants and about the extinct plants. I enjoyed the walk on the Boomslang.

I would have liked a picnic and I would have gone really crazy. I came to the park last when I was 7yrs old. I loved it!

Kind regards. Amaan Amaan Hearn

Hello! I hope you are having a great day. Thank you for letting us come by for the outing.

I really enjoyed how we got to drink the spring water, going to the Boomslang and learning about the plants.

I found the fact that the one guy had his grave next to his favourite tree interesting and the “biodiversity” game.

Anyways,hope you’re doing well.

MOVIE REVIEW: SORE WINNERS

Main characters: ZUMBA and QUINZY

Summary: The story is about Zumba and Quinzy who take part in a race. They win and the prize is to help everyone in the safari. This is all a test to teach Quinzy a lesson. Does he learn his lesson? Watch the movie to find out! It was funny because all the animals had skins of different animals.

This movie is suitable for ages 6+.

Imraan Cajee

MAIN CHARACTERS: ZUMBA, QUINCY and all the other Zafari animals.

One day there was an elephant with zebra skin called Zumba. Zumba was running in a race against all the other Zafari animals that he won. Zumba also had a friend named Quincy, a small monkey animal. Quincy also won on Zumba’s back. They won a prize or a ‘surprise’, to help all the animals since they were all so tired after the race. Quincy rejected the prize because he didn’t want to help the animals. He then saw Zumba was helping but was getting tired so Quincy helped him. Quincy then learnt his lesson and started to help the animals.

My review

I really enjoyed this movie because it teaches you to always help people. It’s funny how the animals had different skins and called themselves different names. I give a rating of 8/10 and I recommend this for 8 and unders to watch.

Dear Kirstenbosch

I am writing this letter to say thank you for our wonderful outing.

It was a great experience and my favorite part of the outing was when we went on the bridge and the lesson.Some suggestions are a dinosaur history lesson and rowing boats on the lake and talking about wildlife and taking a trip around the whole of Kirstenbosch and explaining what everything is.

In the holidays I will bring my family and have a picnic at Kirstenbosch. I love going to Kirstenbosch.

I am writing to say thank you for the amazing outing, as well as thanking your workers and staff.

I really enjoyed talks about biodiversity and climate change.I liked the walk over the Boomslang,seeing from that vantage point! It would be even more fantastic to take a tour about the dinosaurs or if I could take family and friends on the same tour that on the same tour we went on I learnt that there are alien plants in the garden.

Thank you once again for the outing. I really want to thank the outing. I really want to thank the staff for making Kirstenbosch garden look fantastic!

THE BEARS AND BOYS

Once upon a time there were two lost baby bears whose parents had died to poachers. The two bears were named Blite and Bleach, Blite is the panda and Bleach is the polar bear. They were roaming in a forest looking for food, looking and looking but still nothing, suddenly the polar bear got a scent, they followed the scent and found a pond with fish in it. They were so excited they shouted, “HOORAY”. As they tried to catch the fish they herded shuffling in the bushes, They followed the sound and saw boys playing some sort of game. As the bears came out of the bushes, “HELP … BEARS!’’ shouted the boys. Soon after, their parents came out and said, “Guys stop shouting they’re just babies’’. “Oh”, said the boys. After that they started to get along and even played together. Turned out they were playing hide and seek. The dad saw that they didn’t have parents and decided to adopt them. They spent so much time together and ate a lot of fish. THE END Moral – Don’t judge a book by its cover. Adam Roopen

THE FOX AND LION

One day Fox went out to search for some of his favorite berry’s, blueberries. While he was out searching for the blueberries, Lion went to his house to steal all of his food because he was starving and did not want to look for food of his own. Then mouse saw him take some of the food and said, “If Fox finds out that you took all his food he will be furious.” Lion wasn’t listening and he said that he wouldn’t find out. Before running off with all the food he said that he better not tell him or he will eat him alive. When Fox got back to his house he found everything in a mess. He was furious and wanted answers. Then the mouse came out from the shadows and told him everything. Fox asked where he went, but the mouse didn’t know where he went. They started to look for him, when they found him sleeping on a massive slanted stone,

with all the food next to him! They quickly but silently took all the food back to Fox’s house. Fox said to mouse that he will reward him with a feast in his honor for all the help, and they invited everyone except Lion.

Moral of the story No act of kindness is ever wasted.

THE RABBIT AND THE FOX

One day there was a small and innocent rabbit looking for food in a lush forest. Fox saw Rabbit and asked him, ”How are you going to catch anything when you are so small and weak?” Rabbit ignored him and carried on searching for a meal.

Fox kept barraging Rabbit with insults and questions. Rabbit had had enough, he challenged Fox to a hunting challenge. Rabbit explained,” We will have five minutes to catch as much food as we can. The animal with the most at the end wins.” “Sure,” said Fox, “I don’t find any competition in that.”

What Fox didn’t know was that Rabbit had been stocking up on food for a long time, and guess who won? … Rabbit did.

An angry and frustrated Fox walked away regretting that he got cocky.

Moral: Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.

SPIDER’S REVENGE

There once was a spider who lived in the Sahara desert. There was only one river where all the animals go to,so they all drank from it. Everyone loved going to the river,but when Elephant was there they all left in fear, as Elephant was really mean to the animals. This day Spider never left as he never saw Elephant. Elephant went up to Spider and said, ”Hey shortie why are you still here?.” Spider said, “Sorry, I never saw you.’’Spider was so scared that he ran away with fear. This has happened to Spider for a week now,but now Spider was angry, so he came up with a plan. The plan was to use his webs to make him look like a lion. Spider knew this was a good idea,so he did it. It took him weeks to make him look like a lion,but he did it. Spider then went down to the river and saw Elephant.Spider wanted to scare him,so he jumped behind Elephant and shouted, “Rawr!’’ Elephant screamed, “Ahhh A lion!’’ Elephant was so scared he ran into the water,but he forgot that he could not swim so he ended up drowning and all the animals were never made fun of again.

The moral of this story is: Never judge a book by its cover.

THE RACE IN THE BUSH

One day, in the hot and sunny Drakensberg a cheetah saw a zebra that was grazing. The cheetah went up to the zebra and said,’’ I challenge you to a race. If you win I will not kill you or eat you.” Zebra said, ”okay, you may have the speed but I have the stamina and determination!” Cheetah then answers,” Remember I am the fastest land animal on the planet.” Let’s start at the yellow wood tree. 3 … 2 … 1 … Go!! Off they went. Cheetah was miles ahead and found water under a tall fig tree and had a rest and drink. Then after the cheetah had a drink he got up and started running again. He ran to the finish line and was suprised to see Zebra waiting for him.

He was furious. “No dinner for me,’’ the cheetah thought to himself. Zebra neighed and said, ‘’You see you can’t rely on your speed alone mister cheetah. I won and I’m free to go.” Zebra trotted in the green bush.

Moral – Slow and steady wins the race.

Black Beauty was treated nicely because his owner that took care of him was very patient, kind and gentle. He took Black Beauty to see a steam train so that he would not be scared by the terrible noise it made. Black Beauty was lucky his owner treated and cared for him. Otherwise he would’ve been an overworked horse.

THE KING, THE WIZARD, AND THE LION

Once upon a time, a greedy and arrogant King was preparing for battle. He had an army of 200,000 men, 199,999, actually, since one was very ill. The King was saying his farewells when he went to the wizard’s house on the mountain. “Greetings, o’mighty wizard,” greeted The King. “Greetings, my king” mumbled the old wizard. “I am here to say my farewell to you,” the king said “as I go and win another battle” he ended with a yawn. “Don’t be so sure” mumbled the wizard. The King got angry with him. “Of course, I will win!” he yelled as he stomped off. The King gathered his men and they galloped off on their horses. They saw many things on their journey such as frogs,birds, fish, and a loin. But this lion kept following them, and following them, and following them. Finally, the king burst. “WHAT TOM – FOOLERY IS THIS!” he

screamed. His scream was so loud the kingdom almost ushered emergency evacuation due to earthquake warnings. But the loin just started! The king was really ticked off, he began to turn the colour of a plum. “Go on, SHOO, SHOO! He yelled. The lion finally left. The king carried on his journey. When he reached the battlefield, he yelled “CHARGE”. When the king came back he was battered, bruised, and as angry as ever. “We … l – lost” he declared with sorrow and anger. Back up the mountain, the wizard chuckled. “I always knew he had a short temper.” On the rug next to him, the lion purred. Don’t rush in without strategizing and planning. The End.

Moral of the story: Don’t count your chickens before they hatch Max Carikas

Black Beauty was a very well-treated horse whose owner was a good man and didn’t like to see horses treated badly. Even though he hated wearing the bride, he was very patient and eventually learned to wear it. His owner also took him to go see a steam train, so that when he heard of saw one he wouldn’t be scared. His mother was very kind to him teaching him manners. Such as not biting or kicking.

THE GULLIBLE WOLF

One day there was a greedy wolf trying to get an easy lunch. Suddenly he saw a duck walking alone. He quickly jumped at the duck and gave the poor duck a big fright. He demanded, ”Give me your treats and biscuits!” The frightened duck said, ”I don’t have any treats or biscuits.” Then the wolf said, ”Then I’ll have to eat you!’’ The duck was very scared and said, ”Please don’t eat me! I have a cousin that lives in a cave on top of the mountain.’’ “She has lots of chocolates and treats.’’ The wolf demanded that she take him to the mountain.

So they started their small journey up the mountain. When they got to the cave the wolf shouted,” do you have chocolates and biscuits and chocolates and biscuits echoed back.’’The gullible wolf then shouted,” I’m going to come in,’’ and ‘’come in’’ echoed back. At once the gullible wolf charged into the cave. Only when he was deep into the cave did he realised that it was a lie and he was now trapped in the cave. He was never seen again and all the animals were saved.

Moral of the story: don’t be gullible. Abdul Mateen Abrahams

THE FOX AND THE WOLF

Long ago, there lived a fox in the forest. The fox was finding food for his new home. He collected the food and went home to have a good sleep, when he woke up the food the fox collected was gone. There was feet trails left behind, the paw of a wolf.

The fox made a trap to trap the wolf. At night the fox didn’t sleep to see if the wolf came, but the fox accidentally fell asleep making him lose more of his food. The fox made a better trap that could trap the wolf. Before night time the fox searched around the forest and found a cave. The cave was the wolf’s house, the fox found his food and took it back.

The fox ran to his hole to see if the wolf got trapped, and surprisingly the wolf was trapped. The fox was in enjoyment and confidently went to sleep, but when he woke up the wolf escaped the trap. The food was untouched by the wolf and the fox made a trap the wolf couldn’t escape. The night the fox would finally end the wolf’s stealing spree.

The fox went to the wolf’s cave and waited for the wolf to leave. Minutes later the wolf had gone out of the cave going to the fox’s hole to get his revenge. The fox was following the wolf quietly till he could trap him. Once the wolf had stood still the fox went in and trapped the wolf. The wolf was unseen after that.

ANGER

I am the storm that rages within a fire that burns in vain a moment of torture filled with sin to hurt the cause of pain

It is dangerous to set me free to allow me out in all my glory the blind despair I hardly see to grant me this chaos to tell my story

like the wind I blow in any direction nothing can calm my way except for the knowing of your armed protection that allows anger a moment to hear what you say.

Damien Harris

I WISH I WERE HIM

In my eyes he is as rich as the queen of England his wallet is always eating eating eating eating more money

His castle is five times bigger than my house His toy box is always teasing mine I know he went to the future To get his phone

He is not humble As he brags he breathes fire out of his mouth which melt my self esteem

He plays A-team in every sport he is a bull in rugby a brick wall at goalkeeping and a lightning bolt in athletics

He must of been adopted by a professor because of his marks or he is a robot that was created in a lab Justin Igilige

WHAT IS LOVE

Love is something very pure Filled with things I adore It’s like a river that never stops flowing In my heart it never stops growing

Love is a truck on an open road Somewhere to start and a place to go It is blind, it always sings Like a butterfly with colourful wings

Love is a human emotion

As BIG as the ocean

One day it is here then KABOOM! It’s gone

Fill your heart with lots of love No matter what happens You’ll always rise above Imaad Omar

HAPPINESS

True happiness is a feeling

It’s a feeling that everything is good inside I’m feeling up i’m walking on air Happiness makes you dare

True happiness is a touch

It’s a feeling that everything is good outside Happiness is like sunshine It’s made up of very little beams

True happiness is a game

It’s a feeling that i can dream Happiness is like kicking a ball It’s a goal it’s a smile it’s a “siuuu”

True happiness is a mom

It’s a feeling that I’m ok Happiness is light It’s a feeling that i’m alright True happiness is my life It’s waking up in a noisy house It’s when I dream It’s just being me! Ferdinand Franz

BIPOLAR

I go day by day feeling sorrow and despair as the tear drops roll down my face like a raging river, but do not worry this was only for a little while because Eventually those rvers ran dry. The trees started growing and then the flowers followed

And then the birds started singing their song. It was like a beautiful melody and nothing could go wrong.

But then I woke up and there was no song, just a gloomy day. The flowers were gone and the colour was away, but do not worry Those flowers will bloom again.

THAT ACCIDENT CHANGED EVERYTHING

About 2 years ago in Toronto, Canada, there lived an orphan boy. His parents died when he was just 3 years old. He had no memories of them but had heard amazing stories about them. Since then it hadn’t been easy for the young Gareth. When he was born he was diagnosed with HIV and AIDS, which lead to him being bullied. When he was 7 years old he got bullied for the first time and ever since then he would always be bullied. Although all of this happened to him, he still had such a strong desire to live. He has a heart for art and music,however, some days he wishes he could be like the other kids in school until one day that wish will come true and more.

It was a calm morning in America. It was a very exciting day for all the kids

because it was an outing.They were going to a museum. “Alright kids time to leave”, said Nan. When they were all packed up, they left. When Gareth was on the bus he saw some amazing things and just in general, enjoying nature until his best bully came to sit next to him. “How is it going stupid.” “I am not stupid,” said Gareth. “Yes you are,now give me that.” “Hey! my art.”

“You mean this”(breaks). Find something better to do,” said the bully. In such agony and sadness Gareth didn’t know what to do. He calmed down after a while and just took another page out and started again. “Ok everybody, we are here,”said the teachers. Gareth couldn’t wait to see such artifacts. When they first entered they saw an amazing statue of a pharaoh. His excitement started to grow. About an hour later the tour began.

“Good Morning everyone,I am Philosophy

Gilbert.I hope you enjoy the tour and most of all please do not touch anything you see without permission,these are very sacred.” This all seemed easy to Gareth,however, something terrible happened,something he only could see in his nightmares.

As they were looking at one of the most ancient artifacts ever,something happened. While Gareth was admiring the artifact,out of nowhere the bully came from behind and pushed him into the table.The artifact had broken. Gareth didn’t know what to do. His body started to tremble. In that moment, utter sadness swept over him. Eventually the teachers came and found what happened. He was not really the favourite and the teachers would always blame him without any proof,but this one was really needed. “Gareth!, what on Earth has happened here.” “ma.. ma.. mam it wasn’t me. I swear he … ” “He what,” said the teacher.” “He…(sighs). “That’s it ,you’re coming with me, Gareth. ”Gareth was also an obedient kid but this time he wasn’t having it. “I am not going,” and to everyone’s surprise he ran to the exit. Nobody could catch him. “Gareth, come back here!” Gareth ran for his life. He had no idea of where he was going,which he should have. Little did he know this would change the course of his life forever.

As he exited, little did he know he was running across the busiest road in Toronto! He ran across a lane when … (crash)! This incident would change his life forever.Time is such a precious thing and Gareth lost 6 months! Things just kept getting worse for young Gareth. The bills kept getting worse and the orphanage had to make the toughest decision of their life. They had to let him go. It was just too expensive. With nobody to pay the bills the hospital had one choice. They had to cut the cord! – until something would change that.

It was his last day and a few hours left. He was in a coma so he didn’t know what was going on. Then a man entered who nobody knew but he knew who Gareth was. He was the man who

knocked Gareth over! Out of the kindness of his heart he decided to adopt Gareth. It would only take a few days until Gareth would know the great news.

A week later, Gareth woke up from his coma. He found the greatest surprise ever sitting next to him, his new dad. He couldn’t believe it. It took him a couple of weeks to get his strength back but when he did, from that day onwards, he lived the life he always dreamed of. That accident really did change everything.

THE FIRST AND THE LAST SPACE PLANE

“Happy 6th birthday, Joel”, said Max. “Thanks”, replied Joel. Joel opened the present that Max gave to him. It was a toy aeroplane. “Wow this is cool!” said Joel. Joel played with it every single day and a month later, when it was Max’s birthday, Joel got him the same toy aeroplane. The boys would play with their plans everyday.

They decided that they are both going to become aerobatic pilots when they are older. They were both very smart and started making their own remote control aeroplanes by the age of 12. In fact they were so smart that they got scholarships to the best high school in their country even though this school was a two hour flight from where they lived.

They both graduated with 8 distinctions each. They then went on to the military academy to pursue their dreams. There they trained to become pilots. They both aced their tests and started flying the pilatus.

On the side, they flew in the Red Bull Air Race and always shared 1st and 2nd place. They quickly became world famous pilots for their precision skills and stunts that they performed. They flew through 10km tunnels, they performed moves such as barrel roles 10ft off the ground and did many other crazy stunts.

At the same time as this, BASA was looking for 2 pilots to fly their space plane they were building. They needed the two best pilots in the world for this mission. BASA was in luck because Joel and Max had the talent and the skill they were looking for.

BASA offered them a position there. They accepted it. While BASA was building the space plane, Max and Joel went to the moon 3 times.

The news reporter said: ”Good day everybody, my name is Nicole Adams and we will be watching the very first space plane launch. I think this is a great invention making flight times 80% faster and 20% cheaper. The way that they make it cheaper is because they only need fuel to get to space and then they can basically glide to their destinations at 5000km/h!”

Air control 1 said: ”10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,1 lift off! ” The plane shot up into the sky. Sergeant Smith said:”I really hope this works”. ”Ok we are cruising at 5000km/h and will start our descent in 3 minutes,” said Max Norris.

“I’m going to start descending now”, said Joel McDonald. Joel McDonald said: ”WHAT, I can’t descend!” Air control 2 said: ”This is not good, it looks like the control column to descend is broken.”

Joel and Max never landed. The world was shocked and BASA decided to discontinue the space planes.

In the day he swings, sways and strides, But at night he goes to the ever dark side. The wind is howling to the melody of the owls,you see he’s different at night as he is on the prowl.

Leaping like a frog, house to house In search of glamorous goods. As sly as a fox, as silent as the night, He has found a keepsake shining ever so bright. He gazed upon the jewelled treasure, then hopped on down and landed as light as a feather.

Inside the house he was going to steal goods and snatch

A crazed alarm went “BEEP”, ”BEEP”, Then opened the hatch. He fell into the pit of despair Knowing that he could never be repaired. He was caught, chained, then locked away, but he had only one thing to say.

“I’m sorry my family, I won’t come home ,since I’ll be left still like a garden gnome.” “I hope you forgive one day” “Since I’m hitting the hay.”

Caleb Mills

THE FINAL CORNER

“HE’S DONE IT, HE IS IN THE FINALS!” shouted the commentator. Shane crossed the finish line shouting in joy. He had made it into the national drift competition. The flashes of all the cameras and the mics being pushed into his face was overwhelming. As he exited his car he met the other finalist, Chris.

Chris congratulated Shane on his win and gave him a card. Shane looked at the card and it was a training business. Chris waved goodbye to Shane and wished him good luck for the warmup. The reporters started swarming as if they were angry bees.

The next day was the warm up for the race and Shane got into his car and turned the key to start the engine. The sound of the turbo R34 engine echoed around the track and the crowd went wild as the signature blue Nissan GTR Skyline took off towards the first corner. “1st gear, 2nd gear, 3rd gear and downshift.” Shane muttered to himself as he yanked the steering wheel left and pulled right to seal off the corner in a stunning drift.

Chris entered the track right after Shane completed the first warmup lap. He easily caught up to Shane in his white Toyota Supra. The warmups started to get competitive between the two drifters.

The most difficult corner was now here. It was a turn that looked like an S and it was meant to be chain drifted. Shane easily cleared it by using his handbrake. Chris was trying to do it faster but clipped a wall and he spun out. The Toyota started picking up speed and hit the barricade, instantly wrecking the car.

Chris got out of his car and started screaming at himself as they towed his car away. Shane finished his warmup laps and, as he got out the car, he got the news that Chris crashed and that someone called Dwayne would replace him. Shane went back home and prepared himself for the finals.

The next day Shane got up and drove to the track to see the reporters swarming the entrance. He honked and they all jumped out the way as he entered the track. Shane lined up his car on the grid and waited for the greenlight. As soon as it appeared, he and Dwayne accelerated as quickly as possible, disappearing past turn one.

They were both battling for first, almost touching as they took turns drifting through the corners. Dwayne got the upperhand and took the lead of the race. Shane started pushing his car to its limits. He saw a gap in the final corner and he took it. The Skyline made a spectacular drift but hit a curb and flipped into a barrel roll. The car came to a stop but the driver did not emerge. Shane was dead. A pile of burning rubble was all that remained Ben Dednam

HOW TO EXPLOIT A GENIE

One day I was really bored, so I went to the beach. I was building a sandcastle until I found what looked to be a genie lamp! I thought it might be a priceless item, so I put it in my bag to auction it off later.

When I got home, I was ready to sell the lamp, so I took it out of my bag and I dropped it. I started panicking because it might lose its value, but then a genie appeared!

“You have three wishes,” said the genie, “What will you wish for?” I was surprised that the genie lamp was real, but after a bit of thinking, I came up with the best three

wishes. “I wish for a notebook,” I said, “Then

I wish I could draw very well. Finally I wish anything I draw in my notebook comes to life.” “Good wishes,” said the genie, “Alright, I’m out,” Then just like that the genie disappeared.

I instantly knew what to do. I drew a genie in my notebook and then another genie appeared. “I wish I had infinite money,” I said, “I wish I was a bear. Now I wish I lived in a big mansion, near the beach. “You didn’t even let me introduce myself,” said the genie, “although I will still grant your wishes.” Then the genie disappeared just like the first one.

In my mansion, there are four storeys. There’s an indoor pool, an outdoor pool and a pool table. I also have a party room. I invited my friends to my house. After a while they arrived. “Wow! You’re a bear,” one of them said, “What a big house,” said another. After I gave them a tour of my house, they invited me to hang out with them at the field. I said no, because we should do it at my place. That’s when they left, because it was getting late.

I drew another genie and wished I could fly. Excited to show my friends my superpower, I met up with them, showed them my superpower, gave them each a lot of money and then left. I got a phone call when I got home and it was my friends. They told me not to come with them tomorrow. I asked why and they said that I became a jerk after I got rich and then they hung up.

“Was this true,” I thought to myself, “Have I really become a jerk.” After a bit more thinking I realised that when I became rich I left my friends to do rich person things. So I called my third genie, who still owed me two wishes, to make everything back to normal.

THE WORRYFUL WISHES

Hey you! Yes you, reading this book. Keep on reading, because I’m about to tell you about how I nearly ended the world, nearly got killed and then saved the world.

The day started like any other, I woke up, ate breakfast, brushed my teeth and went to play video games on my Playstation. I decided to get a snack from the kitchen, but when I got there, ”Mom! There’s no snacks in the kitchen!”

I shouted across the house. ”Do you mind getting some snacks from the shop?” she shouted back. ”Do I have to?” I replied (still shouting). ”Well if you want snacks, then yes, you do have to!” she answered. I sighed quietly, then grabbed my coat and shoes and headed to the shop.

I decided to take the long route, which meant there was more scenery because the day was very beautiful and the weather was perfect. I was just walking, minding my own business, when suddenly a random man came up to me, gave me something and then ran away.

I opened my hands to check what it was and I was shocked when I saw a gold, iron lamp. I was going to just drop it there, but I decided that it would be wrong to litter and that I will just toss it in the trash at home.

After I got the snacks, I was walking home (the short route) tossing the lamp up and down, when suddenly I dropped it. I went to pick it up, but then … POOF! A cloud of smoke rose out of the lamp and that’s when I saw a genie! He was as blue as a smurf and as tall as a giant. Then with a booming voice he said, ”I am your genie. You can make three wishes, but you only have one day to do so.” I was so excited and already had my first wish in mind.

“I wish that there would be no rules in the world anymore,” I said. POOF! I was engulfed by smoke once again, but the second the smoke faded away, what I saw was total chaos. People were speeding in their cars and raiding stores. Since there were no rules anymore, people were just doing what they pleased.

I was trying to think about who could be

powerful enough to stop all of this.Then I had the perfect idea. ”Genie, I wish to be the king of the world,” I said confidently. After the smoke cleared, I was sitting on a massive throne in a magnificent palace and had a golden crown on my head. Suddenly bandits with knives started chasing me and said,” We want your crown!”

I was chased all the way into the woods, when I realised I had to make a very important decision.

I knew there was only one way to end all of this.” Genie, I wish everything would go back to how it was when I woke up!” I shouted. POOF! Everything turned black, but when my eyes opened I was back in my room and it was eight o’ clock in the morning.

THE STORY OF OZYMANDIAS

Ozymandias was a man who had everything. Fame, wealth, power and a whole kingdom named after him. Everybody in his kingdom had to live the same lives, live in the same houses and eat the same food, because nobody was allowed to be better than him in any way. He lived in a golden palace in the middle of the kingdom and everybody’s house had to be facing towards it. Ozymandias often spoke of himself as a god and thought that he was unstoppable. That was until one day.

Ozymandias woke up in his bed. He walked over to his balcony and looked out at his kingdom. It was then when he saw it. A huge fire spreading through the kingdom, and an enormous crowd of people evacuating through the city walls. A normal person would begin to panic in this situation, but Ozymandias just sighed. He then took his time walking down the stairs to the soldiers quarters to alert his soldiers of the situation.

He started to wonder why the messenger hadn’t told him about this, but then thought that it was a good thing because he thought the messenger was very irritating. The truth was that even though he was the king he hated

responsibility and would actively avoid it. When he got to the Soldier’s quarters though he found nobody there. Everybody in the palace had already joined the crowd of people evacuating. Ozymandias now had no choice but to confront the crowd. He ran a full kilometre to the city walls, where he came face to face with his whole kingdom of people. “What are you doing?!” He yelled out to the crowd, annoyed that they had made him run so far.

All heads turned towards him and it went silent. “We’re leaving!” came the voice of one of his soldiers in the crowd. “But why?” He questioned back, “You’re lazy and you don’t care about us, only yourself,” came another voice. “But I am your king, you must obey me!” Ozymandias pleaded. “If you are a king, then where is your kingdom?” Ozymandius was trapped and deep down he knew that it was true. He no longer had any power, wealth, fame or kingdom. So he had no choice but to watch as his kingdom burnt and his people left him. He then realised that without kindness power, wealth and fame don’t matter, and that maybe if he had treated others better that he would still have all those things, but it was too late. A pile of burning rubble is all that remained.

SADNESS

Sadness, you feel it all the time It follows you like a companion And sometimes makes you cry It makes you feel lonely And want to be alone

It makes you feel like you’re drowning In your own mistakes It’s the worst feeling ever And can make you cry all day

You feel it when you lose And when you get called bad You feel it when you fail And after you feel mad

It makes you feel trapped And also feel scared On what will happen next –Sadness Cael Lupke

Sadness is life. Sadness comes and goes. Sadness is a tree whistling loud And slowly.

Sadness is like losing Your best friend Sadness is not being able To get up in the morning because you are not ready for life.

Sadness is like having No one to talk to. Sadness is the grey gloomy Clouds crying.

Sadness can often happen Or never happen. Sometimes it can last forever. Don’t take it for granted. Lucius Jacobs

PRIDE

Is the first deadly sin

When you think you are the best And that you will always win. It’s the worst habit to have, you should put it to rest.

For if you don’t It will consume you like a disease And send you spiralling into a world of hate, With the most horrific fate.

For if you do You will become a humble and pious monk And be treated with respect That is what you can expect.

It is good to have pride in what you do, but don’t have too much of it in you. For the tie believes he is superior to the rope In the end they can both choke. Danyaal Essack

JOYFUL POEM

Lots of laughter lots of fun. Just like the smiling sun. keeps me warm like a big swarm of screaming bees in the trees. Not distraught very overwrought. Massive heart race at an abnormal pace. Like a little boy playing with a toy. Saligh Amardien

THE WAR OF FURIOSITY

The clouds were shedding tears, Right on top of their heads; The whole world was angry –The war has restarted.

Bombs were dropping around, Everyone had spite; Bullet that flew close by –Most uncontrollable.

Nobody was unarmed, They were snakes in the grass; As strong as some oxen –Everybody fought.

All the bodies were mourned, No stone was left unturned; The result of the war –It was all quite unfair.

Some peeps remained enraged, They gave others a fright; Few remained full of hate –But none are peeved today.

CHARITIES

Learning to be of service to our community is a vital part of education. Through our Service Pillar we taught our learners about their responsibility towards their community and nurtured their social awareness.

We held four Civvies Days in aid of a charity organisation this year. Boys were allowed to wear casual clothes on the day for a minimum donation of R10. All proceeds collected were donated to the selected charity.

In Term 1, our donation went to the Children’s Hospital Trust. The trust raises funds to support projects and programmes which advance child healthcare through the Red Cross Children’s Hospital. Funds raised went to the Victoria Hospital Paediatric Outpatient project. We raised a total of R12 610.40 towards this project. Please click on the link to read about this project: Victoria Hospital Outpatient Unit.

We also held an Easter Egg Charity Drive for the underprivileged every year.The Easter Egg Drive was well supported by our generous school community and we were pleased to have donated a total of 19 130 eggs to charity.

The Term 2 Civvies Day was to aid the work of the Peninsula School Feeding Association

(PSFA). Find out more about the Peninsula School Feeding Association

A total of R11 724.75 was donated to the wonderful work of this organisation to feed hungry and underprivileged school children for many years.

Our Term 3 Civvies Day was on Friday, 02 September, in aid of St Luke’s Combined Hospices. St Luke’s Combined Hospices has provided specialised end-of-life medical and nursing care, known as palliative care, to people with life-limiting illnesses, for 42 years. We were able to donate a total of R13 790.85 to this very worthy organisation.

The Term 4 Civvies Day is annually committed to the Douglas Murray home for the Aged. The generous donations towards gift hampers and tea was always well received and deeply appreciated by the beneficiaries.

The organisations we support received our donations with gratitude and letters of appreciation. We send our heartfelt thanks to our school community for their generosity, and to the very worthy charities we support for the invaluable work they do.

EARLY ACT CLUB

It was with great delight that the Early Act Club could start the year in full swing and resume club meetings as per normal from the start of the year. Many new members joined the old faithful members of the club. At the start of the year, membership remained limited to Grade 6 and 7 learners. However, due to the lifting of restrictions and social distancing, Grade 4 and 5 boys could join as the year progressed.

Something incredible about this year was the drive and determination that our club members showed to take the mission of Early Act and independently find ways of making a difference in their community. This is said with the M.A.D. (Make a Difference) group in mind. These boys formed a group of their own, outside of school time. One of their projects entailed helping Victoria Hospital with their project of building a library for the children at the hospital. Their purpose was to help make a child’s stay less scary and to help take their minds off whatever the reason is for being at the hospital. The Early

Act Club assisted these boys in their cause by collecting books from our school community.

With the Winter season creeping during the course of the second term, we called on our Wynberg families to assist with knitting goods in support of Mandela Day. An incredible amount of knitted beanies, gloves, bed socks, blankets and other items were donated. It was a heartwarming experience to witness the generosity of our Wynberg family. This donation was forwarded to a haven for abused women and children, a girl’s orphanage, Mowbray Maternity Clinic and an old age home in support of Women’s month in August.

The Early Act Club Executive members were nominated, delivered their speeches and club members then voted for their leaders. The executive team for 2022 are Caleb Mill (President), Joshua Nyamimba and Danyaal Essack (Deputy Presidents) and Daniel Johnson (Recording Secretary). A big congratulations to these boys.

In Term 3, the Early Act Club encouraged our school to support Bandana Day in support of the Sunflower Fund Campaign. Our learners then donated new and old bandanas and topes to charity to be repurposed. Again, a large amount of bandanas and topes were donated.

The Term 4 had everyone in a buzz of excitement. We had two big events to look forward to. Both of these involved our Early Act Club members paying it forward to our extended community. On the third Friday of the term we hosted a group of learners from Heathfield Primary School who are being mentored by The Benjamin Project. Our Early Act Club members welcomed the boys by entertaining them with an afternoon of fun games and lunch. We exchanged wishes for the final stretch of the year and our boys gifted our visitors with treats and stationery bags for the up and coming examination. It really was a fun filled afternoon. Friendships were made and we hoped to leave everyone feeling encouraged to tackle the last period of the year with enthusiasm.

After our examination we visited The Douglas Murray Old Age home. This was an event we were all very excited about as we had not been to the home in two years. We took care packs along for our elderly citizens and entertained them with music and festivities.

The year 2022 was truly an enjoyable one for our Early Act Club boys. We were grateful to be able to enjoy most of our usual activities and more, prior to the pandemic. Thank you to our loyal Wynberg family who has always generously supported us.

CODING CLUB REPORT

Our Coding Club has evolved substantially since its inception last year. Besides using the Google CS First platform which uses Scratch to code, we have introduced Java Script through the Code4Kids programme. Minecraft Education Edition continues to be their favourite platform, however, as they gain experience, it is more about the challenge than the platform.

“ BESIDES USING THE GOOGLE CS FIRST PLATFORM WHICH USES SCRATCH TO CODE, WE HAVE INTRODUCED JAVA SCRIPT THROUGH THE CODE4KIDS PROGRAMME.”

Once the boys have learned the basic coding concepts such as loops, sequencing, conditionals, variables and functions they then move on to coding the MEE Agent to build content. Some of the projects they have coded include a rainbow, an aquarium teeming

with marine fauna & flora as well as a more complicated maze. The Code4Kids projects are designed to align with other core subjects in the curriculum.

This year the boys have been introduced to different computer languages; HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Through guided step-by-step instruction they have learned about HTML basics; body, style and content, and built their own website. They have grasped the concept that Kipp the Robot understands commands to move in different directions according to cardinal points. They have learned that functions are a way to teach Tess the Dog new words.

Our clever little coders are a family of boys who are encouraged to help a friend who may be stuck on a project by sharing their code.

COMPUTER/ICT REPORT

In this formidable technological world, it is important that we equip our children with the necessary skills to enable them to cope in the digital world. They need to understand the importance of owning a clean and responsible digital footprint. Lessons in the computer lab explored a variety of digital applications suited to the boys’ ages.

By now, Coding has been incorporated into most school curriculums. Critical and analytical thinking skills are taught, which empowered students and gave them tools to express themselves in really creative ways. Programming allowed the children to create content and learn to problem solve. Coding helped children to develop an appreciation of how things in the real world work. It is a universal language which would most likely improve career paths.

Our boys are taught coding through various programmes, some freely available on the net and others which WBJS subscribe to; Computers4Kids and Code4Kids. Through coding, robotics and ICT, their projects are designed to align with other core subjects in the curriculum.

Another platform we use is Code.org, which, because it is free, increases diversity in computer science. It instructs children in ways that inspire them to keep learning.

CS First is a Google computer science curriculum that makes coding easy to teach and fun to learn. Students code using the Scratch platform, a free, block-based programming language. The Minecraft Education Edition (MEE) platform seems to be the boys’ favourite choice. Here they learnt to code the Agent, created and built their own 3D world, navigated through the Hour of Code and participated in monthly Build Challenges. Minecraft also fosters social and emotional learning. Many vocations require soft skills such as teamwork, communication, time management, and self-motivation. Minecraft can help build all of these skills in students.

As the boys get older, we aim to teach them how and where to access information and then present it in a creative way using various Google and Microsoft applications.

STREAM REPORT

What an amazing year of collaborating with each other, critically thinking about real world challenges, building communication skills and being creative. Learners were given the opportunity to engage in a wide variety of practical tasks planned for each term and tailor made to the age. We live in a world where working together is paramount to what we know as success and that is why the philosophy in the STREAM (Technology) laboratory adopts a collaborative pedagogy.

Every lesson, we discover new ways of executing tasks through a process called the design thinking process. This includes, imagination, ideation, planning, evaluation, execution and finally to launch their project. The exposure that the learners are given is something that we are very proud of and we intend to remain relevant in our efforts to equip learners with the skills that they may need later in life. A few of the activities that the learners were exposed to was 3D design printing and pen, Make Makey circuit boards, Robobloq robotics, Arduino, using recyclable materials to make their projects and Scratch coding.

3D printing of a biodome

3D printing of fractions

It is an intention of ours to create spaces and learning opportunities where learners want to learn and question answers rather than answer questions. This opens up a child’s mind to new possibilities and ultimately becomes a lifelong learner. We are excited for what lies ahead in the STREAM laboratory because this is the place, “Where innovation and design thrive.”

LIBRARY REPORT

This year, the library was fully functional, returning to a sense of normality, the library operated during break which provided a safe space for boys to read, choose books and complete school work.

The usual Book Week was extended to Book Month. Various authors visited the school and introduced their books to the boys. The Grade 1s welcomed local children’s author, Linda Fellowes, better known as Lulu, who introduced her fairly recent book “Lockdown Luke”. Lulu has a passion for animals and her books aim to educate children on conservation and wildlife.

Grade 2, 3, 4 and 5 honored the award-winning author, Lori-Ann Preston from East London, who introduced her “Thabo The Space Dude” series. The boys thoroughly enjoyed hearing about Lori-Ann’s books, including her new fiction book “Thabo The Space Dude Logbook 3: Voyagers in Space”, about aliens and space. They had a blast creating their own story with the help of Lori-Ann, giving the boys an opportunity to be characters of their choice.

Jeremy Daniel, the local author of “The Road to Glory’’ biographies of South African heroes, discussed his writing journey with the Grade 6 learners. The boys listened intently as he shared how he acquired all the information he needed to write about the sporting heroes. Considering that most of the boys are involved in sport, Jeremy encouraged them to never give up and to always push through no matter the circumstances.

Bargain Books hosted a book sale over the duration of two days. The learners were very eager to buy books, which became clear on the second day of the book sale.

The dress up day gave boys in all grades a chance to dress up as a book character of their choice. Winners were selected in all grades including three winners in each class in

Foundation Phase and 1 winner in each class in Intermediate Phase. We were very impressed with the creativity and effort put into the costumes this year!

Overall, the library operated successfully this year.

LEARNING SUPPORT

Emotional Support

The year of 2022 was one of many firsts in terms of emotional support programmes at WBJS.

We finally managed to introduce Termly EQ Lessons that focused on bringing Emotional Intelligence Education to our classrooms.

The #REALmen campaign finally got off the ground; with those termly EQ Lessons focusing on educating of boys to be: Respectful Empathic Accepting and Loyal

The Grade 6 Peer Mediators programme kicked off and boys took to the duties like ducks to water.

Break-times were spent overseeing the fields, assisting when needed and supporting when asked; our first-ever Grade 6 Peer Mediators of

WBJS made us very proud.

It’s been a good year for emotional growth at WBJS and we hope that 2023 will see these initiatives further expanded and ingrained into the culture of our school.

Mrs T Alfino

Learning Support

The year of 2022 has been a challenging but rewarding one for all of us at WBJS, and the Learning Support Team in particular. As we slowly entered the new normal of a postpandemic world, we embraced new challenges, reconnected with old friends and enjoyed great success.

The COVID-19 pandemic created significant barriers to learning especially for those who were unable to attend school for extended periods. Closing those gaps has been one of our top priorities this year. Learners

in need of academic, emotional or social support were referred to the School Based Support Team (SBST) by the class teacher. Intervention and support were discussed and recommendations were made. This process always includes consultation with parents. Learners may be referred for assessments and support from a therapist.

Mrs Daniels and Mrs Reynolds worked with 86 boys in need of assistance with either language or mathematics. Class teachers in the various grades offered Didactical Aid Teaching (DAT) lessons to struggling learners before or after school. We continue to benefit from the services of an independent Speech and Language Therapist and Occupational Therapists who work with learners during the school day.

In addition to their academic needs, we continue to do everything we can to help those learners in need of emotional, social and behavioural support. We have our full time school counsellor

MEDIATORS

to support our commitment to providing holistic support services to boys who need them.

We are proud of our learners’ academic achievements this year. Good effort has been made and the results attest to this. To those who have worked hard and struggled: we will continue to support you.

We are so grateful for the cooperation and support of parents and caregivers. While the school may have all the support structures in place, global studies confirm our own experience that family practices at home have a significant impact on learner achievement. We achieve success because we work as a team.

Thank you to the district team, all our teachers, therapists, parents and of course our boys for all their cooperation and hard work throughout the year. Well done!

GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

The General Knowledge club met every Thursday afternoon after school for half an hour. The boys answered questions from various categories, sometimes individually, and sometimes working together in groups. Discussions were very lively and everyone enjoyed it. There were usually about 20 boys. The general knowledge team was selected based on their individual scores and their attendance.

Campus. Some of the question categories included: sport, literature, mind-numbing math and current affairs. All schools moved forward to round 2 which took place at Camps Bay Primary School. Our school did not move through to the final round, however the learners thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

This year, we were able to take part in the Inter-Schools General Knowledge Quiz again after a break because of the pandemic restrictions. Our team was made up of Grade 6 and Grade 7 learners. There were 12 schools that participated in the quiz and some schools had two different teams. There were 6 boys in a team and one reserve was allowed. The first round was hosted by Herzlia High School

“

THE BOYS ANSWERED QUESTIONS FROM VARIOUS CATEGORIES, SOMETIMES INDIVIDUALLY, AND SOMETIMES WORKING TOGETHER IN GROUPS.”

MUSIC REPORT

The WBJS Music Department has broadened its horizons in a variety of ways over the course of 2022. The underlying principle of extending the scope of music education was to develop musical literacy which is achieved primarily through immersion. In order to immerse young musicians in the language of music we made as many ensembles as possible available to them.

“ THE UNDERLYING PRINCIPLE OF EXTENDING THE SCOPE OF MUSIC EDUCATION WAS TO DEVELOP MUSICAL LITERACY WHICH IS ACHIEVED PRIMARILY THROUGH IMMERSION. ”

Our Ensembles ranged in their accessibility to our students. Choirs and the Drumline do not require boys to read music. Boys are able to explore their inherent talents by virtue of having a ‘good ear’ or having a good sense of rhythm. However, as the level of musical literacy has increased dramatically in recent years, we found boys taking up the trumpet and saxophone as early as Grade 3. This is due in large part to boys playing the recorder in class music from Grade 2 onwards.

The Foundation Phase has an hour of class music a week with half of that time devoted to learning the recorder. The recorder is a very accessible wind instrument which allowed boys to quickly develop the basic skills needed to move on to more complex wind instruments, often of their own volition.

WBJS has always had excellent Choirs and Bands but we have increased the frequency of rehearsals and the types of ensembles the boys can participate in. The Reading Band is a new addition to our programme and it functions as a platform in which the boys can practice their music reading skills in preparation for more complex repertoire in the Concert Band.

Another ensemble that was started this year is the WBJS Drumline. We have had a number of performances already since our inception.

Music is very much like sport in its physicality, coordination and sensitivity to team dynamics. Different instruments play different roles and every boy has the opportunity to learn the skill of being both a good leader, a good follower and learning the difference between the two roles. We are extremely proud of our talented boys and they have shown their skills and passion in a number of prominent performances this year.

DRUMLINE REPORT

The Drumline is a new addition to our program that allows for boys inclined to play drums to join an ensemble in which learning to play synchronized patterns in a group generates an immersive and tactile experience of coordinated rhythm.

A visceral experience of the power of drums can be extremely formative and rewarding for boys, helping them to discover other facets of their own potential.

JAZZ BAND REPORT

We have been lucky to have a full Jazz Band setup this year made from our top instrumentalists in the school. The boys played tunes ranging from the 1940’s Jazz Swing era all the way to the Jazz Fusion genre that came about in the 1970s from the likes of Joe Zawinul and the band Weather Report.

We were overjoyed to see the excitement amongst the boys as we played audio tracks of the pieces we would like to play and clearly there are some parents who have excellent taste in music as these boys were familiar with quite a few of these tunes!

The swing feel came naturally to the boys and they have been very aware of certain articulations and rhythms that are the essence of Jazz music.

We feel very privileged to have been given the opportunity to work with these incredibly talented students and grateful that the love and enjoyment of Jazz music shall carry on through them.

CHOIR REPORT

The Choir Journey

The COVID-19 pandemic literally silenced the singing voices of choirs worldwide. With the lifting of certain restrictions at the start of the 2022 academic year, we saw the reemergence of the modified, somewhat smaller chamber choir with the maximum number of boys in both Intermediate and Senior Choirs being twenty five. Socially distanced, masked and muffled, the choirs slowly got back into sectional and full rehearsals during the early morning sessions.

A brand new initiative has been to catapult the Grade 3 boys in establishing a younger Intermediate Choir pre 2023. This allows for the added aural development they need and have missed out on during the pandemic. The eager group of boys have already enjoyed full Choir rehearsals this term and are eager to perform in the upcoming academic events in Term four.

This new Choir has afforded us the opportunity to shift the existing Grade 4 and 5 Intermediate choristers to the Senior Choir in order to

supplement the fluid preteen voice ranges which, especially around midyear, tend to shift in pitch and tone quality. The younger treble voices are a welcome injection into the dwindling melody line as most seniors have moved to Alto and Tenor voice groups.

Both Choirs are developing in confidence and skill and we look forward to more opportunities for performances in the future!

CONCERT BAND REPORT

The year 2022 has been an active and fulfilling one for the Concert Band. Our top instrumentalists are normally Grade 7 boys who have been members of the Concert Band for four years in some cases. This year we are proud to note that some of our most advanced musicians have emerged already in Grade 5 and 6. Part of the reason for this is the advent of the Reading Band which functions as a training ground and a catalyst for the skills of our younger boys.

“ THIS YEAR WE ARE PROUD TO NOTE THAT SOME OF OUR MOST ADVANCED MUSICIANS HAVE EMERGED ALREADY IN GRADE 5 AND 6.”

Every year, our boys showed their enthusiasm and commitment to being skilled members of the Concert Band at a younger age.

The Music Department is always awed at the dynamism and unbridled talent of our Wynberg boys as they grow into their various roles within the Concert Band. Different kinds of music, ranging from rock to classical and jazz, require different rhythmic feels, different sorts of articulations and various stylistic affectations which our boys have learned and expressed with admirable precision.

Finally, we are grateful to our Grade seven boys and their families for their dedication and talent, as well as generally functioning as good examples of what we consider a wellrounded boy. Very often our grade seven boys wear a variety of badges indicating that they excel in all four pillars of our school.

CLASS MUSIC

The Class Music programme has been enhanced by the invaluable addition of the Preschool Prodigies audiovisual resources which were acquired two years ago. The package of integrated Music lessons included the teaching of the fundamentals of music theory as well as practical instrumental activities on boomwhackers and pitched bell sets. The colour-coded system taught boys from a young age to identify a musical scale while having fun through singing catchy tunes.

“ THE PACKAGE OF INTEGRATED MUSIC LESSONS INCLUDED THE TEACHING OF THE FUNDAMENTALS OF MUSIC THEORY AS WELL AS PRACTICAL INSTRUMENTAL ACTIVITIES ...”

This system of musical development has taught the boys to read and recognize musical elements through play from an early age. It is the universal system of note (value) naming which our Music Department has adopted and therefore the terminology used is carried through from the Class Music room into individual instrumental teaching as well. We have found the system to be invaluable in enhancing our teaching and learning experience.

Mrs J Scheepers

READING BAND REPORT

The year of 2022 saw the introduction of the Reading Band which consists of music students who are on the beginner to intermediate level on their instruments. The band focuses on the basics of note reading, rhythms, dynamics and articulation which help to provide a solid foundation of their music knowledge and playing ability.

Many of the instrumental teachers have commented on how the Reading Band has helped their students to rapidly improve their playing and increase their confidence. We are grateful for the amazing turnout of boys who have joined and look forward to seeing them progress throughout the year!

RECORDER ENSEMBLE REPORT

A newly formed Ensemble of 17 Grade 3 boys has already performed at the Book Character event during term three. The young boys rehearse every Friday morning and they have already started playing pieces in two parts. They are reading music notation and their enthusiasm has spurred fellow grade mates to work hard in order to audition for a place in the ensemble too.

“ THE YOUNG BOYS REHEARSE EVERY FRIDAY MORNING AND THEY HAVE ALREADY STARTED PLAYING PIECES IN TWO PARTS. ”

The transition from Soprano/Descant recorder to any other wind/brass instrument will be made so much more easily as these boys are already learning valuable skills as young musicians.

The Class Music Recorder programme currently includes Grade 2, 3 and 4 boys.

ART CLUB REPORT

The year 2022 was seen as the year of reinvention, as the Art department decided it was time to re-evaluate the approaches towards the art-making process. We incorporated a lot more three dimensional artwork, and placed a huge emphasis on the importance of play and allowing the boys to become brave in their ability to make decisions around their work. By approaching the work in this way we have empowered the boys to begin to understand that their decisions and opinions are important.

In the latter part of the year, the Senior Art Clubs made the shift to a more collaborative approach to art making. We also encouraged the boys to exercise their free will to choose what they would like to work on during the lessons. By approaching the lessons in this way it appears that the boys are a lot more engaged in their projects. We are still at the

beginning phase of these changes in the classroom and we are so excited to see what will happen in the upcoming year.

This year, the department welcomed Miss Hawthorne who has taken over teaching Grade 1 and 2 art lessons. We also welcomed back our much anticipated Art exhibition. The exhibition is a new concept for many of our boys, as COVID-19 did not allow them the joy of seeing their work displayed for the community. Other highlights include the Grade 7 mixed media portraits, the Grade 3 paper mache suitcases, the Grade 5 Mixed media African adornment project, the Grade 1 mixed media “ Cow jumping over the moon” and the Junior Art Club paper mache cats.

We would like to commend the boys on all of their hard work this year. In closing may our budding artists continue to make space and time to create outside of school.

DRAMA CLUB REPORT

The Drama Club has had a fantastic year once again. We are a family and a safe place where everyone is allowed to be themselves without any judgment.

The boys were exposed to a variety of genres and acting techniques this year, which challenged their inner actors. From analysing poetry, interpreting scripts, miming, speaking in gibberish to coming up with their own mini plays based on certain topics were all on the cards.

The Schools Shakespeare Festival was once again the highlight of the year, where we performed A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the District Six Theater. An amazing cast of boys from Grade 4 to 7 made us extremely proud, adding their own “flavour” to Mr Shakespeare’s script.

The Drama Club also attended The Little Shop of Horrors, performed by the Wynberg Acting Association at Wynberg Boys’ High School. A true display of “Brothers in an endless chain” where our youngsters were able to see how

far their brothers have come in their school acting careers.

I asked some Grade 7 boys who have been in the Drama Club since Grade 4, to put to paper what being a Drama Club member means to them. Their stories and honesty warmed my heart and confirmed again that we share something very special at our club.

Kellen Baxter: Drama club was place for someone like me, as I am loud at times, a very talkative person and I enjoy acting in general. Drama Club really brought out all the happiness in me and it also helped my mind stay creative as you were required to come up with mini plays. You would also always enjoy seeing what other groups have created.

“ DRAMA CLUB REALLY BROUGHT OUT  ALL THE HAPPINESS IN ME AND IT ALSO HELPED MY MIND STAY CREATIVE AS YOU WERE REQUIRED TO COME UP WITH MINI PLAYS. ”

Danyaal Essack: Before I joined the Drama Club, I thought it was a group of people that spent most of their time memorising scripts. The Drama Club has meant a lot to me. But when I joined I found out that it was like Ms. Fourie always said it was, a family. Where we spent our time playing around, having fun and being able to be ourselves and act as we please. The Drama Club has taught me many things and especially being an actor that represented our school at the annual Shakespeare Festival.

Tyler Southey: I was very nervous the first time I attended Drama Club, but since that day, I have never missed a day of drama and now I even have a badge. Drama made me feel accepted since it feels like you are part of your very own family at school. It is truly the best club that you could ever join!

Drama Club truly is a special place. Happiness and joy!

A MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM

WESTERN PROVINCE REPRESENTATIVES

SPORTS REPORT

One of the fastest growing diseases in South Africa is obesity, with one in eight children now living with it.

“In the last decade the obesity rate in children has increased from one in 20 to one in eight children”, said dietician and nutritionist

Professor Rina Swart. “It’s estimated that by 2030, if the trend continues at least three out of every five children will be obese, says Professor Swart.

These statistics indicate that a necessary lifestyle change is needed amongst South African children.

Independence

Physical growth will pick up dramatically on the onset of puberty, which is usually from

10 to 14 years old in boys. Healthy nutrition and a physical lifestyle are essential during the growing years.

These awkward little humans enjoy taking control of what they eat and how active they would like to be. They want to impose their will and thoughts on us as parents. ‘I know what is best for me’. These little people in the big world will create new challenges for parents in what they eat and when they will exercise.

To our parents, let’s keep our children eating healthy Although children at this stage want to make more of their own choices, parents still need to take the lead when it comes to eating so they can guide their young children in the right direction. This will take some effort in

providing a variety of nutritious foods for them to choose from. What children eat is largely determined by what parents store in the cupboards at home.

As our children grow older they will attend social events with their peers. At these events they will be influenced by what their friends and others are eating.

Is it ok for our children to enjoy a less nutritious meal? Yes. The key is to keep the occasional event from becoming the norm. A healthy diet helps offset the occasional cheat in a normal healthy diet. Would this work the other way round? No. Eating healthy food once in a while can and will never compensate for a diet that lacks proper nutrition.

Fitness & positive attitude

Parents will often look to organized school sports which most, if not all Model C Schools offer as to meet the need for regular activity.

The early exposure a child gains from sport can cultivate a love for a particular sport.

As a parent we might ask the question, what if my child does not like sports, is that ok? Yes. There are other ways in which a child can keep fit, by means of walking, running and swimming can lead to a lifelong habit of exercising.

Conclusion

We greatly emphasise a healthy lifestyle at school as well as at home by encouraging our learners to fully participate in the physical education programme, keeping active and having a healthy lifestyle.

It is valuable that we as parents work together with the school in order to promote healthy lifestyles for our learners who are our future generation.

ATHLETICS REPORT

After two years of little to no sport, 2022 presented itself abuzz with excitement at the news of a Sports Day with spectators. The scene was set for a hungry group of boys to compete and parents to witness the talents of their sons.

Interhouse Sports Day

We hosted our Interhouse Athletics Day on Friday, 18 February 2022. The House Captains had prepared their teams for what was going to be a full house of athletics. We produced a full programme of events encompassing both field and track events. All the boys gave of their best but as usual a few walked away at the end of the day as age group champions. At the end of the day the following was announced:

U7 Champion – Enzokuhle Soci; U8 Champion –Yusha Luckan; U9 Champion – Joel Damon; U10 Champion – Chibuzor Igilige; U11 Champion – Joshua Gonsalves; U12 Champion – Conor Thomas; U13 Champion – Liam Reed; Junior Victor Ludorum – Joshua Gonsalves; Senior Victor Ludorum was shared this year by Liam Reed and Conor Thomas.

The winning house of the Interhouse Athletic meeting was Sunninghill.

Bishops Quadrangular

The Bishops Quadrangular took place on Tuesday, 01 March 2022. It was a hot afternoon. Our athletes came to the party and performed above expectation as we had very little time to practise as a school team. This is where we believe the Supera Moras spirit comes to the fore. We had successfully won many races beating our rival schools. Our long distance was not as impressive as our sprinters who put their foot on the accelerator. We ended the afternoon/ evening off with the relays. Once again, WBJS dominated this event by winning four of the seven races. The evening ended with the U13 relay event which WBJS sealed off with not only a win but also by setting a new record. The athletes and teams who won their event/s are Che da Gama; Joshua Gonsalves (new record in 200m); Liam Reed; Nic Centurier-Harris; Mikaeel Frieslaar; Joel Damon; Chibuzor Igilige; Joshua Tulloch and Ben Barrett. The U9, U11, U12 and U13 relay teams won their races.

Pentangular Athletics

The Pentangular athletics was hosted by Rondebosch Boys’ Preparatory School on Tuesday, 08 March 2022. The weather was perfect for yet another competitive afternoon

of athletics. Our boys displayed their talents and rose to the occasion. As an Athletics team we won many events. Our relay teams again displayed their perfect exchange technique resulting in them winning five of the seven races. Our U13 relay team once again set a new record in this event. The athletes and teams who won their event/s are Che da Gama; Ismaeel Meyers; Joshua Gonsalves; Liam Reed (new record 100m); Joel Damon; Chibuzor Igilige (new record 100m). The U7; U9, U11, U12 and U13 relay teams won their races.

Paarl Athletics

WBJS was invited to Paarl Boys’ Junior for their Annual Night Athletic Meeting. The scene was set for a night of exceptional athletics. The mountainous backdrop and sunset added to the ambience of what

was going to be a hotly competitive evening. The event started at 18h00 and ended around 19h40. Our boys displayed true grit and determination culminating in good results. At the end of the night we walked away with 34 medals (11 gold; 22 silver; 1 bronze). We are extremely proud of all our athletes. WBJS also set two new records. Our U11 relay team set a new relay record and Liam Reed set a new 100m record. Supera Moras!

Finally, we would like to express our thanks and gratitude to all our athletes of 2022. You all have grown in this sport. You have made our job so much easier because of your determination, dedication and commitment to all the arranged practice sessions. Without your enthusiasm and will to win, we would not be able to achieve the heights and results we have in 2022. To all the parents, thank you for supporting Mr Isaacs, Mr Rhode and your son this year. We are truly blessed to have such supportive parents on our side.

Wynberg Athletics meeting at Paarl

CHESS REPORT

Excited voices fill the passages every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon as the junior and senior boys wait eagerly to be allowed inside the library to start chess practice. We are at full capacity at both our junior and senior chess practices which shows just how much enthusiasm there is at Wynberg Boys’ Junior for the sport of chess. The chess boards are quickly packed out onto the tables as soon as the boys enter the library and the chess pieces are placed carefully in their positions, ready to take on their opponents in another fierce battle. Laughter, chatter, groans of frustration or exasperation and plenty of game analysis can be heard throughout the library as the boys challenge each other every week, all under the watchful eye of their coach, Miss Cronje.

“ LAUGHTER, CHATTER, GROANS OF FRUSTRATION OR EXASPERATION AND PLENTY OF GAME ANALYSIS CAN BE HEARD THROUGHOUT THE LIBRARY AS THE BOYS CHALLENGE EACH OTHER EVERY WEEK ...

”

While practices are about honing the boys’ skills while they play individually, at matches we are a team. Our chess team is made up of senior boys with their captain, Tayo Adriaan, leading the way. We have been very grateful to take up our usual season of matches again for the first time since COVID-19. The chess team competes in matches against other schools at home and away. Before matches begin, the learners line up to greet each other and then take their places at the tables, ready to put their minds to the test. Silence falls as the only noise comes from the tapping of chess pieces being placed strategically, moving all the time, hoping to get closer to checkmate. As the chess pieces are captured, the boys’ spirits might rise or fall. However, they know that no matter what the result of the game, their team of brothers will support them.

At the end of matches, in their usual show of excellent manners, the boys congratulate the other team on games well played, no matter the results. We have had many victories this year winning six matches and only losing two. While some of our Grade 7s will be moving on to play chess in high school, we have a very promising group of Grade 5 and 6 players, as well as many enthusiastic Grade 3s and 4s preparing for the day when they can represent their school in chess.

We continue to be a part of the African Chess Lounge which is an online programme. The boys are able to hone their skills, play against each other or play against opponents from other schools. When the Chrome books are taken out, the excitement level is even higher than normal. The boys beg Miss Cronje to let them try to take her on in a match! Another exciting activity for the boys is to watch videos of grandmasters playing chess matches with commentary from Miss Cronje as to how they can apply techniques and strategies to their own games. Overall, chess at WBJS is an exciting, challenging and rewarding

CRICKET REPORT

The smell of fresh cut grass on Saturday mornings and the excitement for match times after a long day in class, sounds like a good day for it, being cricket season.

The season presented us with awesome individual and team performances across all age groups.

Our U9s are at a crucial stage in learning the game of cricket. The coaches of Pinnacle Sports Education are working with our future stars. In Term 1 and 4 we managed to arrange fixtures for the U9s vs WPPS. Three teams were selected to play, results were not important, but rather the exposure to hardball cricket. Our boys certainly enjoyed being out in the middle, and we continue to encourage them to work on their cricket skills.

At U10 there is massive potential within the age group which is waiting to come alight. This year the season produced a mixed bag of results across the age group, although there were constant signs of improvement within the team dynamics as well as amongst individual players. If these boys can remain focused and enthusiastic about the game of cricket, there is no doubt they will be a force to be reckoned with in future years.

There is a lot of talent and potential in the U11 age group. They are exciting to watch and have showcased a few great all-round performances. Commitment is not an issue with these boys. They always turn up to practice and matches and love getting involved which demonstrates the true Wynberg way. Their maturity with regards to the overall understanding of cricket is improving game by game, which puts us in for a gripping U12 year in 2023.

The U12s show good promise. The understanding of the game is coming together nicely. They have awesome energy and eagerness during practices and matches. A few good individual performances with bat and ball in hand, but most importantly were the contributions from each team player to the overall team’s performance. We look forward to seeing this age group in action next year!

In their final season of representing WBJS, the U13s had their time to shine and showcase what they have learnt over the years. Lessons are learnt in challenging times and in failure. Term 1 was a learning experience, from individual performances to understanding the game and believing in their ability.

The U13A participated in Cape Schools and had the opportunity to tour Johannesburg and play against KEPS, Trinity House and St Peters.

The u13s had a better Term4. In terms of team spirit, comradery and playing for one another. We had hat-tricks, 50s and awesome periods where teams fielded as a unit. We wish them well on the future cricketing journey.

CROSS COUNTRY REPORT

After a hiatus of two years, it was with some excitement that we resumed interschool cross country races this year. Unfortunately this delight was short lived as after the first race hosted by Zwaanswyk, announced that all further races in the second term had been cancelled.

At Wynberg we continued with our bi-weekly early morning practises, enjoying the sunrise from the top field at the high school and the improvement of our level of fitness.

We took a small group of boys to participate in the cross country races held at Grey in Gqeberha in May and were very pleased with the level of fitness and keenness shown by these stalwarts.

Many thanks go to Mr Isaacs who led the fitter of our boys on 5km loops around the fields and to Mrs Gouveia and Mrs Knutsen for their enthusiasm and dedication to running.

“

MANY THANKS GO TO MR ISAACS WHO LED THE FITTER OF OUR BOYS ON 5KM LOOPS AROUND THE FIELDS ... ”

Happily, the races resumed again in the third term and we took our contingent of excited boys to various venues around Cape Town.

Brett Liddell was selected to try out for the Western Province team. Unfortunately this was not his year. We do hope that he will persevere and try again in 2023.

Our interhouse cross country race was held in August. The following are boys who came first in each age group:

Grade R

Hunter Seaward

Grade 1

Logan Van Voight

Grade 2 Samuel Rentzke

Grade 3 Lihle Ndabeni

Grade 4 Brett Liddell Grade 5 Joshua Gonsalves

Grade 6 Seth Leary Grade 7

Luke Felgate

The winner of the interhouse cross country was Oude Wijnberg who very narrowly beat Sunninghill.

The Cross Country Pentangular was hosted this year by SACS. Well done to all those who participated so willingly to represent Wynberg Boys’ Junior School.

HOCKEY REPORT

Hockey at WBJS has grown in leaps and bounds this year. It was great to welcome our boys back onto the astro, playing competitive hockey once again. The season saw many ups and downs, but throughout it all, our motto of “Supera Moras” definitely came through. We welcomed new coaches and our first major challenge was getting ourselves in the correct headspace to grow the sport and get boys excited for hockey once again after the unusual time we have had. This was achieved with an informative workshop and practical session hosted by R&J Hockey Academy.

Our season kicked off with our visit to Grey Junior School in Gqeberha. This was a great way to get our boys excited about hockey as many of them had the opportunity to tour for the first time. A memorable time was had. This set the tone for what turned out to be a busy and exciting hockey season.

U8

The U8 hockey season started with huge excitement. It was great to see so many enthusiastic faces on the astro early on a Friday morning even when it was so cold and raining. The boys enjoyed their sessions with their coaches and could apply the skills that they learnt in Sport Skills. We ended off the season participating in a hockey festival hosted by Rondebosch Boys’ Preparatory School and the boys brought their A-game. They showed true Wynberg spirit and had a blast. It was a good experience for them. We wish them well as they go on to join the U9 teams next year and hope that they have a successful hockey season. We thank all the coaches and the staff for all their support and effort this term.

U9

U10

We had a large group of very enthusiastic U9 boys joining hockey this year. We spent most of the first half of the season working on important skills needed for the game. The boys were ready to learn and take in all that they were taught. They developed into a strong group of players who tried their best to use what they had learned when faced with their first matches of the season. The results this season were mixed, but the boys played with the spirit of Supera Moras and displayed good sportsmanship throughout. The A and B teams each participated in a festival this year - the Kirstenhof Winter Sports Festival and the WBJS Mini Hockey Festival respectively. The boys played some excellent hockey and produced great results, winning most of their games at both festivals. We have many talented players in this age group and I look forward to following their Hockey journey at WBJS and beyond.

Hockey U9 Mini Festival

We had a very enthusiastic group of U10s this year. They were very eager to learn new skills even if it meant us practising in the rain and extreme cold weather. It was encouraging to see their commitment and dedication to hockey. We experienced a mix bag of results during the hockey season. For us as coaches, it was important that the boys walked away from every practice and game having learnt new skills or as simple as a mind-set change on how they can approach their next game differently. Well done to every boy who gave of his best and who never gave up. A big thank you to all our parents for your continuous support and helping us with lifting where we needed it. Thank you to all our U10 coaches who selflessly gave of their time in coaching these young men. To our U10 boys, well done on all your achievements. We wish you well and hope that you will have yet another successful hockey season next year.

U11

It has been so exciting to witness the growth of hockey at WBJS this year but especially in the U11 age group. We started off the season with

SCAN ME

over 60 boys and due to the excitement within the grade we were able to end the season with 5 top competing sides plus a development group. With the guidance of our amazing coaches we focused on basic attacking skills within the age group. This helped us tremendously in our matches especially for our U11Bs who had an unbeaten Term 3 and only lost a total of 2 matches throughout the season. Our U11A team showed tremendous improvement throughout the season and learnt to work as a team. They had great emotional development. I am very proud of how our U11C, D and E teams participated this season. They never dropped their heads and showed true Wynberg Spirit of never giving up. I am extremely proud of all of our U11 boys and we wish them all the best for their upcoming U12 season. A huge thank you must also go to the coaches for all of their hard work and dedication to the sport and these boys.

U12

This season, the 12s had a large group of boys participate in hockey. Right from the A team to the E team, boys were eager to enhance their skills at every practice and true commitment was shown at the freezing early Friday morning practices! Our U12A team were fortunate enough to participate in the Reddam House

Festival, where we won 5 out of the 7 matches, and the Bishops Tournament, where we placed 5th in the competition after beating Reddam House in an intense showdown. The boys showed true Wynberg spirit and played phenomenal hockey at both of these events. The passion that these boys display for the game is outstanding and we wish them all the best of luck as they move into the U13 division next year.

BOYS WERE EAGER TO ENHANCE THEIR SKILLS AT EVERY PRACTICE AND TRUE COMMITMENT WAS SHOWN AT THE FREEZING EARLY FRIDAY MORNING PRACTICES! ”

U13B, U13C, U13D

Hockey enjoyed a huge increase in popularity in the U13 age group this year, with 42 boys turning out for the Under U13B, C and D teams. Some very good hockey was played and the excellent results were as follows: U13B: Won 8 out of 12 matches U13C: Won, or drew, 8 out of 12 matches U13D: They were undefeated, winning or drawing 8 out of 8 matches

In addition to this, the U13C and D teams were amongst the few teams who won their matches during the tour to Grey Junior School in May.

A healthy mix of fun and good results was achieved by all three of these teams and they can all be very proud of their season.

U13A

The 2022 U13A Hockey season was a very successful one.

The boys grew from strength to strength throughout the season and learnt something valuable from each and every game.

WBJS Hockey: U13A vs Grey Junior

“

SCAN ME

The team had the privilege of touring to Johannesburg to take part in the KEPS Hockey Festival. They thoroughly enjoyed the experience and played excellent hockey winning 4 out of 5 of their matches.

To end the season off the team made it to the Western Province Top Schools. They played brilliant hockey and really came together as a team. They managed to finish in 3rd place receiving bronze medals which was a fantastic way to end the season.

Overall the U13A team played 25 matches, of those they won 14, drew 4 and lost 7.

Well done on a great season and I wish them all the best for their High School Hockey career.

This season also allowed us to forge new friendships, and matches against our brother school, Paarl Boys’ Junior, will now become a permanent fixture on our hockey calendar.

We also had the opportunity to host our very first WBJS U9 Hockey Festival which was a huge success and we hope to grow this festival next year. WBJS was also proud to have two of our U13 boys, Matthew Green-Thompson and Callum Wyngaard, selected for the WP U13A and C teams respectively. We ended the season with the highly anticipated Staff vs U13A match which ended in nail biting showdowns and the staff crowned as winners!

After a very busy hockey season we would like to thank all our boys for their hard work and for representing our school so well. Thank you to our parents who assisted with lifts and for keeping your son motivated and committed as well as for your support along the astro. Thank you to our coaches for your tireless dedication to your team this season. We look forward to taking hockey to further heights in 2023!

RUGBY REPORT

Rugby at Wynberg Boys’ Junior in 2022 can be best described as eventful and extremely promising. The competitiveness of our rugby was clear for everyone to see, and it definitely took a step forward from previous years. After the absence of competitive rugby caused by COVID-19, it is safe to say that Wynberg rugby is back on the map.

There were a number of standout highlights throughout the year ranging across all of our age groups. The U7 and U8 age groups continue to grow in numbers, and through the helping hands of our volunteer dads, our future stars promise to be a force to be reckoned with in years to come.

“... THROUGH THE HELPING HANDS OF OUR VOLUNTEER DADS, OUR FUTURE STARS PROMISE TO BE A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH IN YEARS TO COME. ”

Our annual Heritage Week Mini Rugby Festival was a stand out event in this year’s calendar, as the day created bundles of energy and ‘gees’ for our little ones to show off their rugby skills. A huge shout out must go out to the ladies in charge, Mrs Fakir, Mrs Isaacs and Mrs Tresham for putting on such an amazing event.

Our U9s had a mixed season in terms of results, but for the first time in a number of years we were able to enter five teams into the league for Saturday matches. This bodes well for the years to come and we hope these boys continue to play the sport they so dearly love.

The U10 age group is an age group that showed great promise during the course of the season. The results were not always in their favour, but the brand of rugby played and the fighting spirit shown in all their matches was

something which epitomises the spirit of Supera Moras.

The U11s had a consistent season and continued to improve week in and week out. Across the age group, the teams were competitive and results were positive on a weekly basis.

The stand out team of the season had to be the U11A team, who went undefeated in Term 3 and also capped off the season by winning the SACS 7s.

Our U12s are another age group who we were extremely proud of this year, as the U12As went through the season only losing three games. Along the way, beating Grey PE (away), Rondebosch (home & away), Bishops (home & away) and SACS (home). The flagship team for 2023 promises to be one that will compete on all fronts. The depth across this age group is another promising aspect and something that will bode well for next year.

The U13 age group certainly finished their Junior School careers having fun and doing us proud. The U13A team won over 65% of their matches, beating Paarl Boys, Bishops and Rondebosch along the way. The U13B and C teams team produced good results

and always played with smiles on their faces, despite the number of injuries and illnesses that struck the age group along the way.

Other highlights across the year were: the number of WP representatives we had in U12 (Ebrahim Bassier, Fabio van Wyk, Moegamad Jaffa and M. Raai’d Davids) and U13 (Ezekiel Botha, Liam Reed, Rauf Ahmed (7s) and Nico Lourens (7s)); the enthusiastic young coaches we managed to employ across the age groups, a number of whom were Old Boys of the school; the support we had on Saturdays from parents and family members shouting for our boys; and the number of compliments we received from visiting schools about the way we hosted them

U7 RUGBY

for home matches – something that would not have been possible without the help of our entire Wynberg community.

On that note, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone involved with Wynberg rugby this year, from the ground staff and WBJS staff members, to the refs and coaches, the moms who assisted in the tuckshop to the dads who were in charge of the braais, everything we have accomplished this year would not have been possible without you. We look forward to seeing what 2023 brings our way!

SOCCER REPORT

Soccer season started in term 3 and ran for three weeks. The first week consisted of trials for all divisions. The RB6 Football did a brilliant job in selecting the boys for their respective divisions and helped our staff to run the soccer program. Wynberg Boys’ Junior school hosted various schools and competed with dignity. We managed to secure a couple of wins and we had to let some points slip away.

Our under U9A, B, C and D teams enjoyed competing in soccer with other schools for the first time. Our boys showed great excitement and a positive attitude towards playing soccer against our school neighbours. The parents enjoyed the potential talent of each boy. The U10s, U11s, U12s and U13s showed great stamina as they had to play a full field. We are proud of all our boys who showed great dedication, love, and perseverance during our short yet exciting 2022 soccer season. We look forward to the 2023 season, with high hopes for a longer season.

Mr P Mfaba

“... THROUGH THE HELPING HANDS OF OUR VOLUNTEER DADS, OUR FUTURE STARS PROMISE TO BE A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH IN YEARS TO COME. ”

SQUASH REPORT

The Squash teams enjoyed a normal season this year after a lack of inter school activities last year. We started the year with many boys showing a keen interest in joining squash, but due to the limited number of players that we could accommodate, we unfortunately had to choose those who would potentially play in our team squads.

Trials ran over two weeks, from which we chose a team squad with some boys who were chosen for development. The boys attended practices regularly during all the terms and we saw improvements on a weekly basis. Their enthusiasm and good spirit at each practice made the pre-season training and regular season very enjoyable.

This year we entered two teams in the Western Province Youth Leagues, which ran through Term 2 and 3. Our regular team squad members were: Harbin Smith, Daniel Wolmarans, Luniko Soci, Connor Ebden, Justin Igilige,

Akhil Vaghese, Thomas Wyllie, Joshua Eccles, Connor van Heerden and Tayo Adriaan.

While Grey proved challenging at the start of the season, our teams concluded the season remaining undefeated in all their matches. Other highlights across the year were: two WP representatives in U13, many boys participating in the WPYS tournaments and a consistent, energetic group of boys who were at every practice.

A big thank you to our coach, Mr Lionel White, for his experience and guidance throughout the year. A thank you to Mr Mfaba and Miss Hendrickse for joining us on the courts for sessions in the development of the boys. Thank you to all the parents for your support and encouragement of the boys throughout the year. They could not have done it without you!

SWIMMING REPORT

The year 2022 has seen swimming at WBJS go from strength to strength. We ran a full programme including all galas.

The heated pools have allowed our pupils to continue swimming during Physical Education classes during Term 2 and 3.

Credit must be given to our boys who showed commitment and dedication throughout the season, even on cold mornings.

In Term 4, our U7s and U8s had the opportunity to participate in their first InterSchools “Splash Gala”. The boys all had such a fun time, and we cannot wait to see them compete again next year.

FLIPPABALL

Mr Hilton Slack and his Swimlab team continue to do a great job with the boys and we look forward to another competitive season in 2023.

We would also like to thank all the staff who gave up their time to coach the boys, as well as the parents who supported us and their boys throughout the year.

“

CREDIT MUST BE GIVEN TO OUR BOYS WHO SHOWED COMMITMENT AND DEDICATION THROUGHOUT THE SEASON, EVEN ON COLD MORNINGS. ”

We look forward to what 2023 will bring.

TENNIS REPORT

We started the tennis term off with ‘I love tennis’. They joined us at the beginning of the year to coach our boys. With much enthusiasm the coaches did a great job in teaching our boys new tennis skills and working on their serves. The coaches also taught the boys the rules of the game in preparation for their matches.

Our U13 team played matches this year and made Wynberg proud with their great sportsmanship and respect for their teammates and for the game. Some of the U13 boys have been with us since they joined Wynberg and have improved the level of tennis at Wynberg. We wish them all the best and that they continue to play tennis.

Our U11s were a very small team this year who needed a lot of coaching and improving their skills to be able to play matches. This team will continue to improve and be able to show their skills in the matches to come.

Our development teams continue to improve and work hard in developing their tennis skills. We look forward to seeing some of these boys playing in our teams in the future.

Thank you to all the teachers for your support during practices and matches. Thank you to ‘I love tennis’, and to the parents for their support.

WATER POLO REPORT

This year with great excitement we were very happy to have a complete season of water polo. The past few years have been challenging for all of us but especially for our learners. The boys were able to participate in this incredible sport. Our boys were eager to learn but most importantly eager to play.

We are incredibly excited about the improvement and growth that WBJS water polo has made in the last few years. We are particularly proud of the number of boys who have signed up for water polo and with our amazing aquatics center it will only continue growing.

Warriors Waterpolo club has also been amazing in helping grow our water polo. Lots of boys have started joining their club and the session they offer on the weekend. Going forward we encourage more boys to join.

One of our highlights for the year was having our U13 boys traveling to East London for their Water Polo festival to celebrate their 150th Birthday. There was much excitement throughout the weekend as this was the first tour for the majority of these players Unfortunately the results weren’t always in our favour but the boys showed constant determination and showed true Wynberg spirit throughout the tournament.

Once again our U13s participated in the prestigious Hellfire Cup of Glory, hosted by the Warriors Water Polo Club. Our U13s have battled it out for 8 continuous weeks playing almost 24 games in total. Once again our boys showed true perseverance throughout the tournament. We are excited to see both of our U12s and U13s battle it out next year in the Hellfire Cup.

Our under 13 boys took part in the SACS

Water polo tournament that took place from the 12th - 16th of October. They played their hearts out and lived up to their school motto ‘Supera Moras’. This tournament was even bigger than last year with a total of 24 teams from around South Africa.

As you can see, water polo at WBJS has grown enormously these past few years. Going forward, we plan to develop strategies for 2023 in order to keep improving water polo at WBJS. We started with pre-season training in the 3rd term this year and we are delighted to see how this has helped our boys. We encourage more boys to take part in the sport next year, as it is fun to play, and very exciting to watch. We would like to wish the outgoing U13s all the very best as they begin their high school journey. We cannot wait to see our upcoming U13s in action next year.

U10 WATERPOLO

A very special thank-you must go out to our coaches, Miss Strybis, Mr C Theron, Mr Rousseau, Mr T Theron, Mr Johnston, Miss Woodhead, Mr Kolle, Mr Wienand and Mr Lecuona for all their passion and enthusiasm in helping us grow this sport at WBJS. We would also like to thank Mr Wienand as we bid him farewell at the end of the year. He has helped grow water polo over the past few years and his presence around the pool deck will be sorely missed. We would also like to thank our parents who supported us during this tough year in various ways. We appreciate everything you have done in ensuring that your boys attended all the necessary practices and games. We look forward to what next year has in store for water polo at WJBS.

Founders’ Day Family Fun Gr7 Barn Dance with WGJS Golf Day First Day of School Junior Prize Giving Senior Prize Giving

FOUNDERS’ DAY

Our Founders’ Week celebrates the rich history and tradition that is associated with the Wynberg Boys’ Schools ethos. It is also an opportunity to relive, recall, honour and display pride as we look back at what was and where we are today.

Our 182nd Founders’ Day was celebrated on Thursday, 25 August 2022, in the Arnold Lorie Hall. For the first time in over two years we were able to have an in person celebration. The Arnold Lorie hall was packed to capacity as it hosted Grade 3 to Grade 7 pupils as well as the Old Faithfuls who joined us at this auspicious occasion. Our invited guests were the Deputy Head Boy of WBHS: Linga Chigona, Tristan Munz (an Old Faithful) and Mr Chris Luman, Headmaster of Maritzburg College, an Old boy and past teacher of WBJS.

Our usual programme included the involvement of our Grade 7 boys. Our day started with the singing of the National Anthem during which time Samuel Felton

raised the South African Flag and Jiyaad Khan raised the School Flag. At the end of the Flag Raising, Luniko Soci lit the Memorial candle. The Memorial candle was lit to honour those who are part of the Wynberg Family and who have passed on. A welcome message was delivered by Mr Rhode followed by a brief Wynberg history presented by Unays Salie. Our scripture reading is from Ecclesiasticus which was professionally and eloquently presented by Caleb Ford. Each member of the WBJS Prefect body verbally expressed their commitment and support against Gender Based Violence through a Pledge.

WBJS your home away from home is what we strive to achieve and Danyaal Essack and Tayo Adriaans rendered their version of “What Wynberg meant to them”. The spirit of Supera Moras echoed in each of their presentations. What pride and honour our boys displayed to be associated with WBJS. Mr Steward and Mr Poleman did us the honour of introducing our guest speakers.

Traditionally, the Head Boy of WBHS addresses the Junior School community but this year, the Deputy Head Boy, Linga Chigona, expressed sincerely what Wynberg has meant to him over the years and how it has shaped him into the gentleman he is today.

Tristan Munz gave us a riveting and heartwrenching story of his journey on the Wynberg Campus. He shared the highs, the lows, the good and the bad he had to experience over the years. He also encouraged the boys to never give up as it is what kept him on track to achieve the heights he has and ultimately be awarded prefectship. Tristan left many wiping their eyes as he spoke from the heart with sincerity and conviction.

Our guest speaker, Mr Chris Luman, addressed our boys encouraging them to make use of every opportunity WBJS has to offer. He also addressed the boys and compiled a comparison of the WBJS back then to the WBJS now. His interesting talk made it possible for both him and the pupils to resonate and associate with many of the activities he mentioned.

Melokuhle Mandlakhe reminded all who were present of our 175th Founders’ Day ceremony. He alluded to the time capsule that was buried in the front quad. This time capsule is filled with items relevant to the pupils at the time. It also includes letters written by the Grade 1s to the pupils of the year 2040.

Our ceremony ended in the traditional manner by singing the school song. What a fitting way to end a ceremony with an orchestra playing and the harmonious sounds of young boys singing.

“ HE ALSO ENCOURAGED THE BOYS TO NEVER GIVE UP AS IT IS WHAT KEPT HIM ON TRACK TO ACHIEVE THE HEIGHTS HE HAS AND ULTIMATELY BE AWARDED PREFECTSHIP.”

GOLF DAY

With 104 golfers playing, the teams pulled out all the stops and produced exciting golf at the annual Wynberg Boys’ Junior School Golf Day held on Thursday, 27 October 2022 at the King David Mowbray Golf Course.

Benjamin Raubenheimer, only 7 years old in Grade 1 was the youngest player, gave some of the “older” hands a run for their money as this young man played golf like a pro.

The main sponsor, the Mekor Suzuki & Mazda Kenilworth dealership, had a big role in our Golf Day and displayed some of their newest vehicles on the golf course for the day.

“Privileged to be part of this well organised Golf day”, said Mr TC Carelse, Principal Dealer.

The overall winning 4-ball of the tournament this year was Adeeb Khan, Riaz Galant, Hamza Abrahams and Salih Pastor! Luke Centurier-Harris participated in the Heads-Tails Prize Giving game and walked away with an amazing golf hamper from With Love Designs! “The WBJS golf day was a perfectly organised and well-run event. Congratulations to all the staff and role players involved for making the golf day a pleasure to be a part of”, said Phillip Sampson from SL LAW.
