  • Dear Parents/Guardians from the Office He First Term Has Certainly
    31 March 2018 Issue No. 1/18 Dear Parents/Guardians From the office he first term has certainly flown by. What an eventful few months! The year started with the welcoming of a lovely group of new Grade 8 learners. The high school keeps growing and we have a total of 480 learners at present. We anticipate a growth of at least 40 learners in 2019, moving us above the 500 mark for the first time. Big enough to be very competitive – small enough to care about every individual. During the term, our learners and staff excelled in academics, culture and sport. The release of our excellent 2017 Grade 12 results started the year off on the right track. Many of our staff members attended IEB subject conferences during the term. They also received specialised training on new aspects on the use of miEbooks. Learners had the opportunity to ponder their future career options at our annual Career Exhibition in our school hall. Grade 9 and 11 learners were also afforded the opportunity to write aptitude tests at school to help them decide on future careers and subject choices. On 14 March UMALUSI did a full site evaluation of our school. They were suitably impressed by the quality of teaching and learning taking place, along with the full spectrum of added services offered at our school. UMALUSI is a government organisation tasked with quality control of all education institutions and their results. The choir has grown to over 70 members this year. Curro has also launched an excellent new cultural initiative to give our learners more exposure on this front.

  • 15 March 2017 Dear Parent/Guardian NEWSLETTER 7/17 Last
    15 March 2017 Dear Parent/Guardian NEWSLETTER 7/17 Last week we celebrated International Women's Day. It is an annual event that commemorates women's rights. The theme for 2017 is asking us to #BeBoldForChange. We are challenged to help forge a better working environment that includes a more gender inclusive world. This is an important challenge to all our parents to help drive greater change for women (and our daughters) in the work place so that we can move closer to gender equality. STAFF MATTERS We would like to express our condolences with Mrs Katherine Myburgh, whose father-in-law passed away recently. May God comfort her and her family in this difficult time. ACADEMICS International Computer Programming Olympiad When Ralph McDougall reached the finals of the 2014 South African Computer Programming Olympiad (SACPO) in Grade 8, we knew that it was the beginning of great things to come. Ralph continued his success story during the 2015 SACPO, when he once again reached the finals, and was also selected as the non-travelling reserve for the international team. 2016 was no different – Ralph reached the finals and achieved a joint fourth place and bronze medal as Grade 10 learner. He then continued to attend a number of weekend practice camps. The purpose of these camps was to prepare the participants for possible participation in the International Olympiad in Informatics taking place in July and August 2017 in Tehran, Iran. Four deserving participants would be selected from these camps to represent South Africa at the prestigious event. We are proud to announce that Ralph has been selected to represent South Africa at the 29th International Olympiad in Informatics in Iran.
