The Settlers High School The Settlers High School Term 3 Newsletter 2019 MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL "Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do.” – Oprah Winfrey Dear Settlers Family Last weekend I attended the Allan Gray Orbis Foundation (AGOF) Circle of Excellence Principals’ Conference in Durban. This is not an ordinary conference - it is by special invitation only, to schools recognised by the AGOF as one of the top schools in South Africa. To belong in this closed circle of schools, the school has to consistently provide them with candidates for their prestigious Allan Gray Bursary Fellowship which is a gruelling process. At the conference awards function, The Settlers was awarded a trophy recognising us as the top school in South Africa, producing the most AGOF Fellowships since its inception 11 years ago. This is an achievement to be proud of. I wish to thank AGOF Fellows from The Settlers and our teachers for living the ethos of the school and making this prestigious accolade possible. Next year we will be one of the first co-ed placement schools (meaning some Allan Gray scholarship learners will be placed at our school instead of the traditional single sex schools they normally opt for). The reason for this according to the AGOF is that we must be doing something right here at The Settlers, to have produced so many excellent candidates and fellows. The schools response to Gender Based Violence and Stop The Violence campaign was noble, but not a solution. Our actions must not stop after a special assembly, making a cross on the field, wearing a purple ribbon and taking a pledge to denounce violence, it needs to continue into the future beyond this term. Despite our stance, just two days ago three children were gunned down in Clarke Estate while they were sleeping, in a gang retaliation attack. Two of them attended Clark Primary School and the other Matroos Holy Trinity RC School. Children from MNED, children from our education circuit. The Violence continues unabated. We must continue to fight the scourge of violence by educating the youth and encouraging them to impact their communities by being positive role models. I am once again amazed at the number and quality of activities and performances that took place during this term. Highlights from this term include the TSHS-Fairmont Contact and Fairbairn Derby - both were successfully hosted by TSHS. Special mention must be made of the spectacular musical extravaganza Ying Yang. The stellar cast amazed the audiences with their remarkable performances filled with vitality and unbridled talent. We celebrated learner achievements as the season/term came to a close, at a number of different occasions: the ACS dinner, new RCL and Prefect announcement, Sport, Academic and Cultural Awards, the Grades 8-10 outings/incursions, the Grade 11 job shadow and the Matric Celebration evening. I am in awe of the resilience, talent and ability of our learners. It is indeed a privilege to be involved in an environment such as this. R I S E NO LIMITS Term 3 Newsletter | 2019 | Page 2 Term 3 progress reports were issued today. The results reflect that many learners are underachieving and not accessing their true potential. It is important that learners and parents critically review the results to identify subjects that need remedial work in preparation for finals which start early in term 4. Please consult the academic support programme for remedial or extra lessons. Peer tutors are also available if necessary. If you wish to discuss your child’s results please make contact with the relevant teachers either telephonically or via email. We are heading towards the tail end of the year and at the start of term 4 we officially celebrate the achievements of our learners at both Junior and Senior Prize Giving. Shortly thereafter, we will be celebrating five years of hard work, when we say farewell to the Matric class of 2019 at Valedictory. We wish the Grade 12s well with the final NSC examination and success with all their future endeavours - continue to fly The Settlers flag high and make us proud. TSHS wishes to extend a sincere thank you to the Grade 12 parents and guardians for their support during the last five years. As the term draws to a close, it is with gratitude that I wish to thank each member of staff (teaching staff, administrative staff and amenities staff) for their Settlers Spirit, hard work and commitment. We appreciate all that they offer to the learners of TSHS. Happy holidays. Take care and have a blessed very short, but well deserved holiday.

On the Friday spirit week was celebrated with a civvies day and the theme was a twisted fairy tale. PREFECTS 2020 The announcement of the prefect body for 2020 occurred on 15 August 2019. These prefects together with Mrs Hall, Mrs Minnie and Mr Augustine went on a leadership camp at Ihlathi Bushcamp, from 6 to 8 September. The camp created the ideal opportunity for us to get to know the prefects better and for them to interact informally with each other as well as getting to know themselves better. The growth shown over the weekend was exciting and we look forward to a phenomenal year of leadership by this group of young adults.

    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.

  • Term 1 Newsletter • 2020
    The Settlers High School Term 1 Newsletter 2020 MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL Dear Settlers Family The term has come to a sudden halt in the midst of fear and the unknown. Despite our heightened concern, we need to stay positive and give hope, be responsible citizens and temper this with the facts to alleviate fear and panic. The Settlers is a very special school and a typical example of this was the weekend of 13 – 14 March. In just one weekend we celebrated and revelled in the many school activities all happening simultaneously. We received recognition from UWC as their number one feeder school, the RCL and Class Reps were away at camp honing their leadership skills, the grade 9 drama performance group were acting at the Baxter Theatre, hockey participated in three different hockey tournaments, where the teams and individual learners were applauded for their skills with no less than two man of the match awards, TSHS hosted the Top Schools Basketball Tournament of 40+ matches with our 1st team girls walking away with a gold medal, Riefqah Diedericks (Gr 12) participated in the Nedbank Essay competition and won a R60 000 bursary for her 2021 university studies and the 1st team cricket challenged The Settlers old boys team and beat them convincingly. That is Settlers in a nutshell, and then comes Monday 16 March, and we had to deal with the effect of Covid-19 and the huge impact it will have on schooling in SA. We have put in place an Academic Maintenance Plan for the extended holiday.

  • Tieroog | Kwartaal 3/ Term 3 | September 2019 \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
    ////////////////////////// TIEROOG | KWARTAAL 3/ TERM 3 | SEPTEMBER 2019 \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ ///// Tik Tok Tik Tok So loop die tyd aan en aan. Alewig ‘n geskarrel...en meestal na onbenullighede. Wat is dit dan wat saak maak? Waarin moet tyd belê word? Wat is belangrik? Hoekom is dit belangrik? Waarheen is ons op pad? Die antwoord op al hierdie vrae is om tyd in verhoudings te belê. Ons vergeet soms maklik van ons verhoudings by die huis en skeep die mense naaste aan ons af. Beide my ouers is oorlede en ek wens soms dat ek nog net een keer met hulle kon praat. Dit is met groot opgewondenheid dat ek u meedeel dat my dogter ‘n tweeling (dogtertjies) in Januarie verwag. Sjoe, dan besef ‘n mens die waarde van ‘n sinvolle, liefdevolle verhoud- ing. Daarom is die onderwerp oor verhoudings so belangrik vir my. At the end of a term I usually reflect with one question in mind: What could I have done better? Since 80% of my work en- tails conflict management, my mind automatically thinks of various meetings and situations. The foundation for every meeting is the acknowledgement of the relationship that exists. Once that is cemented in the discussion with a huge amount of mutual respect, a sustainable solution will follow. It is general knowledge that if one of the parties in a conflict situation is vindictive and has a vendetta with ulterior motives, the relationship will crumble. As in the previous Tieroog, I want to emphasize the fact that I am willing to address difficult issues and will respect all the roll players in the education environment.

  • Stellenberg High School
    Stellenberg High School Stellenberg High School is a dual medium school located in Stellenberg, Bellville, Western Cape in South Africa. In 1986, "Stellenryk High School" opened its doors to 316 students and 16 faculty members. Several letters were received from parents, requesting that the school's name be changed to either Stellenberg High School or Eversdal High School. The first school day started with an assembly in the Stellenberg Dutch Reformed Church, as the school building was only partially completed at the time. Weekly assemblies later took place in a quad, until the building was completed.
