I regret to inform you that Mr Anthony Mitchell (grade 7M teacher) will be leaving Camps Bay Primary at the end of term 2. Mr Mitchell will be taking up a position at an international school in Zanzibar. Although he has been at Camps Bay Primary for a relatively short period, we thank him for his positive contribution to the school and wish him well on his new venture and in his new teaching position.

NETBALL TOUR TO KNYSNA: On the weekend of the 27th April, the U13 netball girls went on tour to Knysna to play in the annual sports festival. The competition was very stiff, with the majority of the teams participating from the Northern Suburbs, as well as the Eastern Cape. The girls played ten matches over the three days, winning five of them, drawing one and losing only four games! This is a phenomenal result and we are VERY proud of the girls. They visited the Knysna Elephant Park to learn about elephants, as well as to feed them. The girls also went Acrobranching and had fun swinging through the trees. The CBPS girls received a lot of positive comments on tour and were fantastic ambassadors for the school, flying the CBPS flag high. Thank you to Ms Selepe (team manager) for all the hours of planning and organising as well as for giving your personal time to chaperone the girls on tour. Thank you to Mrs Kirsten for driving the bus safely on the long journey to and from Knysna. Thank you to Gillian Monteverdi for coaching the girls as well as for accompanying the girls on tour. Lastly thank you to all the parents who assisted with fundraising for the tour. I have no doubt the girls have wonderful, treasured memories and had a most enjoyable time. See pics below.

FOUNDERS’ DAY: Last week on Friday we enjoyed a wonderful celebration of our birthday of 113 years of delivering quality education at the Camps Bay Schools. The morning started with the Prep Founders’ Day assembly which was addressed by Hannah Barnes (Head Prefect) and matric students of CBHS on memories of when they were at the Prep school. Camps Bay Primary was addressed by past pupil Dexter Tangocci who has started his own drone business and the children enjoyed seeing a drone in action! Another highlight of the assembly was the slide-show presentation (prepared by Mrs Jessica Abrahams) on how the school has changed, past and present CBPS, showing all the improvements over the years. Thank you to the Music Department, Ms Attwell and Mrs Abrahams as well as the Junior Choir, Luke Aberdein (piano), Isabelle Bruce (vocals), Frida Waddell & Chloe Martin (vocals duet) and the wind- band for fine performances at the assembly. The children on both campuses received a cupcake decorated with 113 on them to celebrate our birthday! The day ended with the Founders’ Day assembly at CBHS.

TIME FOR A LAUGH: All Camps Bay Prep and Primary parents and friends are invited to an exclusive fundraising evening with Marc Lottering on Wednesday 12 June at The . Celebrate the end of term with your fellow parents and enjoy the brand new stand-up show Not A Musical. The fabulously revamped theatre restaurant and bar will be open well before the show.
