Indeed,, even the primary school block had not yet been built. I was serving on the various Trustee Boards and College of Teachers that initiated the building of the Primary School block, the decision to go into the high school, that initiated the building of the hall, and that made the decision to extend our school to the matric level. All together I accompanied six classes in the Primary school, which included two full cycles, and taking on the classes at various levels. At the beginning of my journey, I was the young one on the block, and am so aware of this now that we have a number of new teachers on the block in the Primary School faculty. I feel so honoured and reassured when I see my young colleagues with their respective classes who are on the task of teaching and taking Michael Oak into the future.Working with the students from The Centre of Creative Education has been my annual highlight, and have always felt that we are so privileged in the Primary School to have new teachers joining us Star Tree Festival who have had this Waldorf training. Thursday 6th December However, my greatest love has been teaching and accompanying children in their second stage of unfolding. Over the years the children have brought new gifts and challenges, and it has always been my greatest 6.45pm for 7.00pm striving to meet the children in the most relevant manner. These challenges have meant that I have remained As a community we will gather a researcher and my learning has always been central to my teaching. Even though class teaching has always together to celebrate the Star been my passion, for many years the Class 5,6,7 choir was my highlight of the week. Music has always been Tree Festival in a mood of such a central feature in the primary school, and it brings me so much pleasure to see how this has reverent stillness - with song, developed and become so integrated in the school life of all our children with Mrs Goodall. Class camps have story and a ceremonial lighting been another highlight for me, and compared to those early camps where we really 'roughed' it, the more of the Tree. recent ones have been quite 'tame'. Both have their positive sides. In consciously lighting the tree Apart from the classroom, I have always striven to contribute to the greater Waldorf Movement, both within we will be reminding ourselves the school as well as in the broader structures of the South African Federation for Waldorf Schools and the of our journey as human beings Regional Waldorf School meetings. to unite with our Higher Selves- I now feel that the time has come for me to take some time out to gather my thoughts, to stop for a moment our Divine Nature. to gather my learning, energy and resources before embarking on the next step of my journey. We celebrate in this lighting - Where to from here? As Tolkien's Bilbo said: notwithstanding the confusion, “The Road goes ever on and on chaos and trouble that can beset our lives- that, as we reach Down from the door where it began. toward our highest ideals, the Now far ahead the Road has gone, light will prevail over the dark. And I must follow, if I can, Harmony will be restored and Pursuing it with eager feet, peace fill our lives. Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. Each year at this time, we celebrate this journey toward And whither then? I cannot say” becoming truly Human. In lighting the candles we are reminded of what is of eternal value in our lives and in a spirit of quiet reverence we will celebrate this together. Children are to be in their classrooms by 6.45pm and parents seated in the hall by 6.55pm NB No “littlies” please. Cellphones to be switched off throughout the festival. EARLY CLOSING On Thursday 6 December, the Primary school will close at 12.30 pm Anette Bestwick (seated third from left) seen here with her 2018 Class 7s, and upper primary assistant Tiffany Courtriers (standing, top left). 2 “Thank You, Anette!” While I know that none of us is A Pantoum created for Anette Dear Anette, As a colleague I will feel such a indispensable, it is really hard to imagine life big gap when you're no longer at school.

  • The History of Rondebosch Common a Plaque on a Stone at the South­ Cape Once Again
    An Oa~i~ ~ A YQSt of flowQting or by Betty Dwight and Joanne Eastman, 1 ondebosch Common was declared a National Monument in 1961, thereby preserving, Runintentionally, a small piece of Cape Flats flora 'sand plain fynbos', of which so little remains, in the southern suburbs of Cape Town. Standing in the middle of the Common, surrounded by busy roads, one can still feel a sense of peace as the noise of the cars fade in the background. On closer inspection, with eyes turned to the ground, a wonderful miniature world of flowers, insects, birds and butterflies opens up. It is truly an oasis of wildness within the city. In January amongst the dry grass there are little patches of yellow Lobelia, Monopsis lutea. The African Monarch butterfly with its russet brown wings, tipped with black and white, flutters around the papery white Helichrysum flowers. Blue Aristea are flowering. This Aristea is taller with a strap-like stem compared to the Aristea africana seen in September. A few white Roella prostrata straggle along the ground. The Psoralea pinnata shrubs with their pale mauve flowers appear bravely in the dry season. Even in hot February there is something to find. The Struthiola shrublets are covered in small creamy, sometimes pale pink flowers. The restios stand out amongst the yellow grass with their green stems and dark brown flower heads. There are also many interesting seed-pods beginning to form. Grasshoppers, dragonflies and the Citrus Swallowtail butterflies are evident. In March the large black ants are on the move, very busy carrying seeds to their nests.

Common, are increasingly regarded sites for potential development. The Common has been the subject of debate during the last three years. The area has been identified as an urban open space containing highly valued natural and historical_-cultural assets. Significant areas such as this need to be protected from development and managed accordingly. They can be utilised as areas for environmental education, semi-formal recreation or aesthetic enjoyment. The Common typifies management problems that may be experienced in the compromise of using an area of predominantly natural vegetation for an unrestricted semi-formal recreation area. This report summarizes the importance of the Common and identifies the concerns surrounding its present management.
