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
8
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.
