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.

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.

Both Zahrah and Raqib scored a number of tries during the tournament. Well done!

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
