CBHS Newsletter 22 - Dec '13


Dear Parents

We are at the end of 2013, and you have your child’s final report in your hands. We have been so pleased with the results this year. Most pupils have done really well.

FAREWELLS

At this time we say farewell to a number of our staff:

Sheryll Cosslett
will be retiring after serving Camps Bay High School for 21 years. She has filled a number of different roles over the years from dealing with finances, to secretarial duties, to the Headmaster's Secretary and finally the school Administration of our computer package. She will be starting her retirement with a extended holiday to visit her daughter and family in London and catch up on her grandmotherly duties.

Mia Martens is leaving as Head of Music. She has established a vibrant music department. She will be taking a lectureship at the University of Potchefstroom in the Education faculty. Here she will train music teachers. The music pupils gave her a dramatic ‘farewell’ in the final Assembly.

Leslie Jogi is retiring as Head of English after a wonderful seven years in the job. She leaves behind a vibrant English Department. We wish her well as she returns to the family home in Zimbabwe and helps her daughter plan her wedding. Her legasy for story-telling and reading will continue.

Belinda de Vries is also retiring from being an Afrikaans teacher at Camps Bay High. She has taught here for 24 years and during this time championed the care and love of animals. Belinda founded ACTA, the society that is ‘Against Cruelty to Animals’. She ended her role as managing this society with a very successful dog kennel build. She will be looking forward to spending time at home with her husband and pets.

Fetoun Reda
and Roxanne Hemmingway have been helping us in a temporary capacity for part of the year. We thank them both for the work; Fetoun in CAT and Roxanne in Business and EMS. We wish them well next year in new positions.

On behalf of the staff I would like to thank you all for a great year. I wish everyone a wonderful rest with your family and friends.

We look forward to seeing you back at the start of 2014 on the 15 January

The programme for the ‘start-up’ of next year will be as follows:

•      7 January @ 12h00        Release of Matric Results at School.
•    10 January @ 08h00        The School Office opens
•    13 January                      The Staff return
•    14 January @ 12h30        New Grade Eight Orientation
•    14 January @ 11h00        Book Sale
•    15 January @ 08h00        All pupils return to school

Yours sincerely

DAVID DE KORTE

CBHS Newsletter 21 - Nov '13


Dear Parents

2014 HOLIDAY DATES BACK TO NORMAL:


With regard to the changes in Term and Holiday dates, I am really sad to have to inform you that the WCED has now thought about the changes we and most schools in the area requested and have said "no" to them. We incorrectly assumed that the "yes" Westerford received would be a "yes" for all schools. At the time I believe the WCED planned to do this. However, now on reflection they appear to have changed their minds. The 2014 school terms will have to follow the national term dates.

Parents who have planned family holidays around the dates we issued earlier must still proceed. The four days in the middle of all the long weekends that would have made up a 17 day holiday will now be school time. We will assist children who are away at this time to catch up on work they have missed.

The dates for 2014 are:

Term 1:  15 January - 28 March
Term 2:  7 April - 7 June
Term 3:  21 July - 3 October
Term 4:  13 October - 10 December

Grade 8 & 9 Music Recital:


On Thursday evening, 31 October 2013, we were treated to an hour of music by the Grade Eight- and Nine music pupils. The performers entertained us with an array of instruments from saxophone, clarinet, piano, trumpet, violin to a full rock band with drums and electric guitars. We were also treated to great vocal performances. A big thanks to Ms Martens and Mr Cawood and the part-time music teachers for making this possible.

School Exams:


All pupils start writing exams on Wednesday, 6 November 2013. Every effort has been made to create a balanced exam timetable, that allows each pupil to perform at their very best. Can you please encourage them to keep studying for the entire exam session, and provide the necessary structure and support that your child needs.

Some suggestion are:
• Discuss with your child their exam timetable and study plan
• Help them stay focused by managing TV and computer gaming time
• Keep the family structure of meals, getting up and going to bed times
• Remember to ask each day how the exam went.

We have to meet with the Inspector to approve our results on the 3 December 2013, and will then be able to issue reports on the 4 December, which is the last day of school for the pupils.

BUDGET 2014 - NOTIFICATION OF PARENT MEETING:


The Budget for 2014 will be presented to the parents at a meeting on the 21 November 2013 at 18h00 in the School Hall. All parents are invited to come and be part of approving the Budget for 2014, and consequently the school fees for 2014.

CBHS Newsletter 19 - Oct '13


Dear Parents

Valedictory Ceremony:

Friday 18 October is one of those days where we as teachers have mixed emotions. It is the Matrics' last day and we say farewell to them with a special Valedictory Assembly. We are sad to see them go, as they have made such a large and valuable contribution to the school. We have spent 200 plus days a year with them over five years. We have watched them grow from the beginning of their teens in Grade 8 to young adults in Grade 12. However, we recognise that this is the right time for them to leave school and continue on their life journey. We are really proud of each of them.

Camps Bay High School cordially invites all 2013 Matric parents to attend the Valedictory Service on Friday 18 October 2013.

10h00:        Tea for Parents
10h30:        Final examination briefing
11h00:        Valedictory Service
12h00:        Luncheon for Matrics & Staff at school

From Monday the Matrics will be at home studying. Their exams start on the 28th October 2013. We wish our students every success.


(Noting that this event has now taken place, to see the CBHS Blogspot article on the Valedictory event, click ‹‹here››. To see the photos of this event on Flickr, click ‹‹here››.)

Rocktober:

Tomorrow night the Primary school fund raiser “Rocktober” is taking place. This has been advertised as the party of the year, and if last years event is anything to go by, its going to be lots of fun. Everyone is invited, and you can get tickets at the door if you’ve left it too late to book online. Please refer to the advertisement for Rocktober further on in this newsletter.

Celebration 2013:

On Monday 14 October 2013, Camps Bay High staff, pupils, past pupils, governors, special guests and parents came together to celebrate another wonderful year at this school. Through the course of the evening we applauded our pupils who had achieved academically as well as these that were awarded special prizes.

Between celebrating those achievements we were entertained by our pupils who sang in choirs, alone, in rock groups, unaccompanied, who danced in fun items, in serious numbers, who did drama and who played marimbas. The grand finale was the whole school singing ‘Where is the Love’. At the close of the evening the new prefects for 2014 were announced. We congratulate these young people on being elected to this office.

Budget 2014 - Notification of Parent Meeting:

The Budget for 2014 will be presented to the parents at a meeting on the 21 November 2013 at 18h00 in the School Hall. All parents are invited to come and be part of approving the budget for 2014, and consequently the school fees for 2014.

Two weeks before the 21 November, parents are invited to ask the school for a copy of the proposed budget.



Rocktober 2013:

The party of the year returns! If you had any doubts about the 30+ crowd’s ability to get on down and party, 30 seconds at last year’s inaugural Rocktober would have put them to rest. With over 500 people packed into Vaudeville, the dance floor was absolutely heaving with patrons making it hands down the party of the year.
The good news is that it’s party time again!
19 October 2013… buy your tickets and write that date down, because that’s when ROCKTOBER returns for what promises to be an even better event!

ROCKTOBER 2013 is a fundraiser for the Camps Bay Primary School, produced by the dads at Camps Bay Primary School, and enjoyed by everyone who’s too old for Long Street but still likes a good party!

Camps Bay Clothing:

We encourage all Camps Bay Schools families, guardians and pupils to buy any and all uniform items you require in November and December for next year, as soon as possible, so as to avoid the unavoidable price increase which we have no alternative but to implement in January 2014, due to cotton shortages now affecting us and the Petrol price increases.

In addition we can only guarantee a full range of items and SIZES across all age groups in the months of November and December 2013, when we receive our bulk stock at the old prices, as items WILL sell very fast.

Visit the clothing shop for your uniform requirements:
We advise that the Uniform Shop will be open from 09h00 -12h00 on the following Saturday mornings in November with specific days to assist specific grades:
2 November:                 All Grade 1’s
9 November:                 All Grade 8’s
16 and 23 November:      All Grades

Current Camps Bay School parents, please consider sizing up or replacing your child’s clothes now while stocks last and prices hold, if you can see that your child’s clothes need replacing or are getting too small. New parents, please get your child’s clothing needs while we have all the sizes and good stock-holding.

Anoraks can also be pre-ordered and paid for in advance to guarantee your child gets one, as these only get delivered in May and sell out in ten days

Sports & Cultural Awards:

Congratulations to all the recipients of prizes at the Sports and Cultural Awards Dinner on Thursday, 3 October 2013.

During the recent September holidays, the Junior Inter-Provincial touch rugby tournament was held in Bellville.

Both teams actually won gold in their age groups and their province, Western Cape (NOT Western Province) took overall champions of the Tournament as well. Both Zahrah and Raqib scored a number of tries during the tournament. Well done!

Golf:

Mpho Bangiso has been selected to play in the Western Province Schools League finals at Rondebosch on Monday 7 October 2013.

She has represented her school by participating in the Combined Girls’ Schools’ Team during the 2nd and 3rd Terms this year. One of our C League teams has won the South Peninsula Schools Golf C League and will play a final against the North C League winners.

Karate:

Mira Blume has been a member of Renzo Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy for a few years now and has been an incredible asset to the team both in training and competitions. She recently took part in the Destiny Grappling Competition here in Cape Town and achieved three gold medals in the following categories:

- Senior Womens’ No-Gi grappling
- Senior Womens’ Gi Grappling
- Junior Womens’ No-Gi Grappling

This is an incredible achievement for her being a junior and competing against adult females and still winning! She trains here in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu both against adult woman and men which has had a great effect on her achievements.

Young Scientists Expo:

Danielle had an amazing second year at the National Finals of the Eskom Expo for Young Scientists where she won a gold medal and the Best in Category award (of the largest category).

She also won three special awards: Eskom's award for the best Energy Project, an award from the Microscopy Society of SA for the best use of microscopy in a project (which includes R1500 for her school), and the Hendrik van der Bijl award!
