Cannons Creek Independent School

In honour of Father's Day, we held our first Father & Child Survivor Challenge on 20 June. Teamwork, logic, and a dose of courage was needed by all the teams, ensuring fun was had by all.

If you’re supporting Cannons Creek through the Woolworths MySchool programme, please take note: Woolworths has officially closed MySchool and launched a new platform called MyDifference. This means you need to re-select Cannons in the Woolworths app – otherwise we will lose your valued support.

Here’s how to keep supporting Cannons:
1.⁠ ⁠Download the Woolworths app on your phone
2.⁠ ⁠Register or log in, then:
Tap the Loyalty tab
⁠Go to Causes - Choose My Own
⁠Search for Cannons Creek
Click Add Cause
⁠Look out for the green tick that says ‘Cause Added’
Hit Finish - Once you’ve done that, a virtual card will be created for you to use going forward.

Your current MySchool card will only be valid until June 2026.

Today marks World Giraffe Day. This annual event celebrated globally on June 21st, aims to raise awareness and support for the world's tallest land mammal. The date was deliberately chosen as the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere (and the longest night in the Southern Hemisphere) to fittingly honour the animal with the longest neck.

Today, our Pre-Primary hosted a Special Persons Day, ahead of Father’s Day on Sunday. Thank you to our Pre-Primary dads/guardians for joining us. They got to explore the classroom, complete a jelly tot construction (and not eat them!), received special cards / drawings, and played together outside on the playground.

PAST PUPIL SPOTLIGHT: Ty Cooper (Class of 2015)
I live in Sydney, Australia. Since I've left Cannons Creek, I have gone down the road of warehousing, logistics and operations. It's been a long and eventful road, but fortunately it's led to me now being the head of Operations at one of the largest activewear brands in Australia. It's called Muscle Republic.

We are so proud of our Past Pupils - wherever they end up in the world. Are you a Cannons Past Pupil? Reach out to us to share your story! [email protected]

Today we celebrated the start of the FIFA World Cup, and the upcoming Youth Day with some soccer fun in our Cool2Care groups, and dressed the part!

Good Luck to Bafana Bafana - we're behind you the whole way! 🇿🇦

Thanks to our fabulous Class Reps and our Coffee barista Chad - the FIFA World Cup fever is in the air! Not even the cold or the misty conditions could dull the excitement. A reminder that the Coffee Truck is open daily 06h30 - 08h30.
