    30 March2017 Dear Parent/Guardian NEWSLETTER 9/17 We have reached the end of a highly successful term. So much has been achieved and we have big dreams and plans for the remainder of the year. Allow me this opportunity to thank every dedicated educator, coach and learner for their hard work and commitment. It is wonderful to see the scale of participation and the level at which we are competing now. Sport and culture have gone from strength to strength. Add to that the excellent academic results we attained last year, and you have to agree that our school is blessed with exceptional learners, educators and parents. During a recent visit by the Curro Transformation and Diversity team, we were complimented on the friendliness of our learners and staff. They noticed how learners went out of their way to greet them and to assist where they could. We also often get compliments from visitors, who work with our learners, regarding their ability to think out of the box and come up with new ideas and solutions. Schools close on Friday, 31 March at 11:00. Reports will be issued to learners on this day. Term 2 starts on Wednesday, 19 April. Educators already start on Tuesday, 18 April. Enjoy a well-deserved break with your children. May God keep you safe and may you experience a blessed Easter. STAFF MATTERS We wish to congratulate Mr Christiaan Botha who attended the North-West University of Potchefstroom’s graduation ceremony to receive his Bachelor’s Degree in Education (BEd). Congratulations to Mrs Mariëtte Viljoen whose daughter, Obie, had a baby girl earlier this week.

  • Moravian Publication Office
    M O R A V I A N A R C H I V E S Inventory of the records of the Moravian Publication Office 1823 – 1964 MPO Pauline Fox 2012 History The history of bookselling in Bethlehem began in 1745 when the Moravian Church appointed Samuel Powell, landlord of the Crown Inn on the south bank of the Lehigh River, to also manage the new "Bethlehem Buchladen." Eventually the book store, and other branches dealing with printed materi- al, centered near Main Street on the north side of the river. The first established printing press in Bethlehem began operation in 1830, providing local newspapers and advertising. The first official Moravian publication to be issued was the quarterly "Missionary Intelligencer", from 1822 to 1849, edited by the Rev. Henry Van Vleck and printed in New York City. It was then continued as the monthly "Moravian Church Miscellany" from 1850 to 1855. In 1856 a new and expanded weekly "The Moravian" was introduced, with a joint editorial board of Edmund de Schweinitz, L.F. Kampmann, and F. F. Hagen. At first the printing was done in Philadelphia, then transferred to Bethlehem at the end of 1858. The priority of publication of materials for worship, education and commu- nication was stated in the Resolutions of the 1864 Provincial Synod (Northern District) of the Moravian Church: that "a strenuous effort" should be made to create a printing/publication establishment whenever the Provincial Elders deemed "such a step practicable." The cause of publica- tions was strongly supported by Rev. Sylvester Wolle, who was Treasurer of the Provincial Elders Conference and worked in the Publication Office dur- ing the 1860s.

  • Artist’S Impression Artist’S Impression Artist’S Impression Artist’S Impression Artist’S Impression Overview
    www.deerpark.co.za ARTIST’S IMPRESSION ARTIST’S IMPRESSION ARTIST’S IMPRESSION ARTIST’S IMPRESSION ARTIST’S IMPRESSION OVERVIEW Very occasionally we have the opportunity to develop a site that is so stunning that it’s almost daunting. This is certainly the case with our latest project, located in a gem of a site in Highlands Estate, high on the rim of Cape Town’s extraordinarily beautiful City Bowl. In such a special spot, we have the responsibility to develop a building that will not intrude on but enhance this magical setting. A building that will nestle into the landscape as though it has always belonged there. It’s a big responsibility, but one that I believe our professional team has more than lived up to in Deer Park Place, which gives me the confidence to predict that those who are fortunate enough to invest and to live here will enjoy the rewards for decades to come. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Mixed-use development with ground-floor retail & three residential storeys • 24 one, two and three-bedroom luxury, sectional title apartments • Every apartment has a terrace or Juliette balcony for views on all sides • One or two secure basement parking bays per apartment • Ideal Cape Town location: secluded, but central • 500 metres from Deer Park, part of Table Mountain National Park • Easy access to a variety of good nursery, primary and secondary schools • Sophisticated security includes 24-hour on-site concierge • Pre-installed fibre-powered WiFi units, courtesy of Cape Town Digital LIFESTYLE Living in a secluded but central, well-treed glade is a privilege in itself, but when the site also offers direct access to Table Mountain National Park, it is truly exceptional, extending a constant invitation to hike, run, mountain bike, or picnic on the slopes of this breathtaking natural world heritage site.

  • I Make Contact: Contributive Bookselling and the Small Press In
    i Make Contact: Contributive Bookselling and the Small Press in Canada Following the Second World War Cameron Alistair Owen Anstee A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in English Literature Department of English Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Cameron Alistair Owen Anstee, Ottawa, Canada, 2017 ii Abstract This dissertation examines booksellers in multiple roles as cultural agents in the small press field. It proposes various ways of understanding the work of booksellers as actively shaping the production, distribution, reception, and preservation of small press works, arguing that bookselling is a small press act unaccounted for in existing scholarship. It is structured around the idea of “contributive” bookselling from Nicky Drumbolis, wherein the bookseller “adds dimension to the cultural exchange […] participates as user, maker, transistor” (“this fiveyear list”). The questions at the heart of this dissertation are: How does the small press, in its material strategies of production and distribution, reshape the terms of reception for readers? How does the bookseller contribute to these processes? What does independent bookselling look like when it is committed to the cultural and aesthetic goals of the small press? And what is absent from literary and cultural records when the bookseller is not accounted for? This dissertation covers a period from 1952 to the present day. I begin by positing Raymond Souster’s “Contact” labour as an influential model for small press publishing in which the writer must adopt multiple roles in the communications circuit in order to construct and educate a community of readers.
