Grove Alumni

Success stories big and small start with an idea, dreams, support and inspiration. One of our Grove Alumnus, Sir Bradley Fried, shares his advice with the younger generation on how to stay focus and what it takes to keep believing in yourself until you've reached that goal or dream. Sir Bradley Fried matriculated from Westerford High School and received the Westerford Nil Nisi Optimum Award last year. He is also one of the very last people who was knighted by the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Guess who came to pay us a visit today? Gabriel Amato, ex-Grovite and U/17 SA Soccer player came to pop-in and had some fun on the field with our learners. Everyone was super excited and they had the opportunity to find out more about his football journey. Gabriel is currently also practicing with the Cape Town City FC Reserve team (U/23) for the upcoming season and we wish him all the best for his future😀

😀🎨We've been waiting in great anticipation for the return of one of our most exciting occasions on our fundraising event calendar... That is right, our Art Exhibition & Auction is back!

Join us on Wednesday, the 30th of August for the opening night of our Auction & Exhibition. We will be celebrating the artistic talent of our learners and all things beautiful.

Although the event is only open to parents and adults, we will be offering a caretaking service at the school. The evening will be hosted in the form of an exhibition as well as an auction. Learners will get the opportunity to view the exhibition and their work prior to the main event. Should parents and family not be able to make it on the night of the 30th of August , art work will be on exhibition until the 01st of September, during school hours.

We would like all visitors to dress their best! Welcome drinks will be served on arrival

A walk down memory lane!
😇On Wednesday evening The Grove hosted our Term 3 Social Club Dinner and it was again a beautiful affair. Our senior guests really enjoyed themselves and we would like to say "thank you" to all our Grade 7 learners, teachers and all the parents who assisted in making this event a very special occasion. Everyone participated in the evening's activities which included fun games and a lucky draw.😀🥳

Launching our ever first Alumni page is something truly exciting for all of us at The Grove! We wish to invite all ex-Grovites to be part of this platform and encourage you to share memorable milestones and memories with us as well as the broader Grove community.

We will use this network to keep you updated with any upcoming events and interesting ways in which you might like to get involved.

Please feel free to share this page with other ex-Grovites so that we can re-connect! Let’s reach out to as many as possible to help grow this network. We’d love to see your photos, so please do go and dust off those archives and share, share, share!
