On the 9th of May, the U13 rugby team took part in the Bloemfontein Primary School Tournament. The boys did their best considering the cold and wet weather conditions. They played against JF Primary school, and unfortunately lost 35-0. Their next game was against Futurum Primary, the boys really picked up their game and played extremely well, only losing 15-49. All in all, it was a good day of learning for the boys!

The Grade 3's are sending a shout out to all of the nurses who are working extra hard during this pandemic 💙

🎨Through a difficult time we are still fortunate enough to beautify our beloved school. And this is beauty with a purpose! The foundation phase will enjoy greater exposure to many of their key concepts- we call this 'accidental learning'.

For any type of painting (even your house), please contact and support Itumeleng. He has become part of our Brebner family and fully recommend him!
