🌿🦁 A New Adventure Awaits! 🐒🌈

Our Foundation Phase learners have a brand-new jungle gym to explore, climb, swing and play on! 🛝✨

More than just a place to have fun, our new jungle gym gives our little learners the opportunity to build confidence, develop coordination and strength, practise teamwork, and most importantly — let their imaginations run wild! 💚

There’s nothing quite like the sound of children laughing, exploring and creating their own adventures. We can’t wait to see all the memories made here! 🌱🧡

Here’s to climbing higher, dreaming bigger and playing every day! 🌟

Congratulations to our learners, Aleko, Angelo and Emmanouil Zervogiannis, who represented the Stallions Kickboxing Club with outstanding determination and skill at the Winter War Tournament on 30 May.

Their impressive achievements speak for themselves:
🥇 Aleko – 2 Gold, 3 Silver
🥇 Angelo – 5 Gold, 1 Silver
🥇 Emmanouil – 2 Gold, 3 Silver, 1 Bronze

Following his outstanding performance at the Winter War Tournament, Angelo Zervogiannis stepped back into the ring for another challenging bout, which ended in a hard-fought draw.

These exceptional results are a testament to their discipline, perseverance and countless hours of training. We are incredibly proud of the way they represented both their club and our school.

Congratulations on your well-deserved success! We can’t wait to see what you achieve next. 👏🥋💙💛

In the words of Ma’am De Bruin:

What an unforgettable experience at the 2026 Comrades Marathon!

This year I completed my second consecutive Comrades Marathon, the challenging Up Run from Durban to Pietermaritzburg — covering an incredible 86 km with 1,890 m of elevation gain alongside more than 22,000 runners.

The journey to race day was built on dedication, discipline, and countless hours of training: early morning runs, long weekend sessions, and months of hard work. I felt strong and confident until around the 68 km mark, when the race became a true test of perseverance and determination.

During those tough final kilometres, I could feel the support, encouragement, and prayers of everyone behind me, helping me push forward to the finish line.

I am proud to have completed the race in 7 hours and 8 minutes, earning a Silver Medal, placing 26th among the women, and receiving a special Back-to-Back Comrades Medal.

This achievement is a reminder that hard work, resilience, and belief can take you further than you ever imagined. Thank you to everyone who supported me on this journey!

🏃‍♀️💚 Best wishes to our incredible Ma'am de Bruin as she takes on the Comrades Marathon this morning!
We are so proud of her 👏
We pray for strength for the hills, endurance for the distance, and joy in every kilometre🏅👏

On the 23rd of April, our Grade 12 Physical Science learners visited North-West University to complete an SBA practical on acid-base titration. 🧪

An acid-base titration is a laboratory technique used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution by reacting it with a solution of known concentration. By carefully adding one solution to another and observing a colour change (using an indicator), learners are able to identify the exact point of neutralisation — where the acid and base perfectly balance each other.

This hands-on experience allowed our learners to apply their theoretical knowledge in a real laboratory setting, sharpening their practical skills and deepening their understanding of key scientific concepts.

We are proud of their focus, curiosity, and commitment to excellence as they continue to grow as young scientists. 🔬

Thank you to the Vaal for hosting our school and providing all the necessary instruments for this excursion.

Congratulations to our Grade 8 and 9 learners for their outstanding achievements in the IEB International Benchmark Tests.

They obtained certificates of high distinction and distinction in English and Mathematics.

Well done, superstars!⭐️

From theory to reality 🔬

Our Life Sciences learners recently explored the effects of alcohol exposure during pregnancy through a practical investigation focused on breast milk and foetal development. By simulating real-world conditions, they were able to observe how substances can transfer and the potential impact this has on growth and development.

This practical sparked meaningful conversations about responsibility, informed choices, and the science behind Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). More than just a test, it was a powerful reminder of how biology connects directly to real lives.

Proud of our learners for approaching this sensitive topic with maturity, curiosity, and critical thinking 👏

Grade 6 got hands-on in the science class this week as they carried out a starch test practical. Using iodine solution, learners investigated different foods to discover which ones contain starch and which ones do not.

There were plenty of curious minds, careful observations and a few surprised reactions as the iodine changed colour, revealing the presence of starch right before their eyes. Experiments like these bring science to life and help learners understand how the foods we eat are made up of different nutrients.

Well done to our Grade 6 learners for their enthusiasm, teamwork and excellent investigative skills. Science is always more exciting when you can see it happen!
