  • Sports Report 2019
    Greenside High School Sports highlights and achievements 2019. Greenside High School believes strongly in the Nelson Mandela quote that says: “Sport has the power to change the world; it has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to the youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope, where there was once only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the faces of all types of discrimination. Sport is a game of lovers.” We are truly grateful as a school that our learners are exposed to 13 sporting codes and many see themselves having career opportunities in the respective sporting codes that we offer at our school. Even though we were faced with a few challenges in the year, we have also developed and our perspectives and goals have broadened. We would like to celebrate the achievements of our learners this far in all respective codes. SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS AND ACHIEVEMNTS 2019 | s Rugby The focus in every year is to introduce the girls to appropriate technique and develop a safe and competitive environment. They had a very successful league competing with 12 schools and the U16 girls being undefeated in 2019 and our U18 only losing 1 friendly game. Almost all the girls both u16 and u18s were invited to the National Rugby Week trials. Two senior girls unfortunately did not make it in the last trials and three players were chosen for the u18 National Week Team.

  • Quarterly Report January to March 2019
    Quarterly Report January to March 2019 REPORT ON CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE AND EXPLOITATION The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) recently released a report on child sexual abuse and exploitation, based on a study of the approach which 40 countries took to such offences. South Africa was one of the countries included in the study. It ranked 15th out of 40 for its measures to protect children against sexual abuse and exploitation, according to an index the EIU developed. We can, and we must, protect children from all forms of sexual abuse and exploitation in all settings. Children deserve nothing less. Here are 10 things that emerged from the report, titled Out of the Shadows. 1) Just over half (21) of the 40 countries analysed have legal protections for boys within their child rape laws. 868 Children 2) Sexual abuse is happening everywhere, regardless of a assisted country's socio-economic status or its citizens' quality of life. 3) Sexual abuse is increasingly enabled by the internet but at the FOR FREE same time, an experimental internet program is "crawling" the web to find abusive and exploitative images of children to have Jan to March them reported and removed. 4) Children with disabilities, those displaced through trafficking or forced migration, those living in care institutions and those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender can be especially vulnerable. 5) At household and community level, chaotic lifestyles resulting from neglect, alcohol and substance abuse are linked to most forms of violence against and among children. 1 6) The absence of protective relationships and environments are factors that are often predictive of sexual violence against children across cultures.

    SENIOR SCHOOL NEWS 03 NOVEMBER 2017 03 November 2017 Tel: 011 531 1800 | [email protected] www.stmarysschool.co.za FROM THE HEAD’S DESK As we approach the final weeks of the school year, it is usual for the management team and me to reflect on the value and intent of our academic and co-curricular offering. The St Mary’s model of education includes character development as a key element in what we want to achieve and we, therefore, place emphasis on participation in the co-curricular programme and on leadership. The many and varied opportunities on offer create the context in which the girls can discover and form their individual selves. Academic achievement is pursued and celebrated but we believe that our girls must use their ability and potential to be useful in the world and contribute to the enhancement of our society. We believe that the aspects of our programme and approach, as outlined below, are of value in building character. The mentor groups provide a small group gathering where relationships can be formed across age groups and teachers can monitor the girls’ schedules and general well-being. This daily routine and familiarity should present a safe environment in which the girls can explore their experiences and personal development. From Form III, the girls have opportunities to Karabo (captain) and Samantha (vice-captain) celebrating as St Mary’s wins inter-high athletics for the 10th consecutive year lead in different ways with the fashion show as the first experience of developing autonomy and taking responsibility for a major event.
