College News BRIDGE HOUSE PRE-PRIMARY PREPARATORY COLLEGE COLLEGE NEWS No 27 www.bridgehouse.org.za 4 September 2015 Tutankhamun Exhibition Outing On Wednesday, 26 August, the Grade 11 History students and some of the Visual Arts students visited the exhibition Tutankhamun - His Tomb and His Treasures. The mystery surrounding the boy king's lavish journey into the afterlife has captured the imaginations of thousands of people since Howard Carter first opened the untouched tomb in 1922. Upon arrival at the exhibition, the stage was set by an exceptional documentary on how the tomb was discovered, followed by a tour through the various chambers of the tomb, with incredibly realistic replicas of the artifacts, laid out exactly as the archaeologists found them nearly a century ago. The exhibit then showed the splendour of each item, along with a detailed explanation of its significance to the burial. It was a privilege to be able to see such an important exhibit in South Africa and we all left in awe of the craftsmanship, artistic flare and cultural intricacy of the burial process. Mr Graham McLaren Grade 11 History and Art students Regional Science Expo On Thursday 27 August and Friday 28 August, eighteeen Grade 9 students competed in the annual regional Science EXPO competition.

International Exchange Impressions of their exchange, from two students from the Athenian School in California, who attended Bridge House as exchange students Zoe Kusnick arrives in South Africa Posted on August 2, 2015 As someone who has lived in the same country, state, and town my entire life, I definitely experienced culture shock when arriving in Cape Town, South Africa. Even in a ten-minute drive through the city, it is impossible not to recognize the differences between here and San Francisco. One of the first things I saw, on my drive home from the Cape Town airport, was of one of the largest townships around. Townships are large villages where people have built their own shacks out of whatever they can find. It was a phenomenon I had never seen in the Bay Area. It was hard to see so many people struggling, and it made me realize that I often take my life for granted. While I realize I am fortunate even in my own area, it is a whole different reality in many places all over the world. Another thing living in Cape Town has helped me realize is how dependent I am on electricity. A couple times a week, different parts of South Africa are subject to something called “Load Shedding.” During load shedding, the power goes out for two hours. This is used to conserve energy for the country. However, it can be very inconvenient. It is winter here and this country has much more rain and wind than California, so being without heat can be very, very cold. Driving through a town during load shedding feels a bit like going into a ghost town. Although load shedding can be a hassle, I appreciate the forced opportunity to find entertainment off a screen. For me, load shedding has consistently involved heaps of candles and board games. It’s not my first choice, but it helps you get creative. While living in South Africa has inconveniences I would have never thought of, its multicultural population is something I love. Just at Bridge House, the tiny school outside of Cape Town I attend, I have met students from France, Germany, Dubai, Holland, and more. Having students from all corners of the world brings colourful conversation both academically and among students outside the classroom. I know that the inner city is well known for its diversity, and I am happy even to experience a taste of it in the small town of Franschhoek. I love this diversity as much as I love the stunning mountains, the rainy weather, and the Afrikaans words I attempt to learn. Evan Segimoto arrives in South Africa Posted on August 8, 2015 Two weeks ago, I arrived in Cape Town, South Africa. As I walked out of customs I saw my exchange, Sidney Gray, standing there grinning ear-to-ear. I knew at that moment we were going to get along just fine. Since then, he’s kept me busy with sightseeing, running, hiking, studying, and hanging out with other students from Bridge House. Life outside school is very similar to how it is in California. Every weekend a group of us will get together to hang out; but when I say “hang out” I don’t mean go to a movie or anything like that. Instead we all meet up at the café in town, order a coffee or hot chocolate, sit around the fire, and chat for a couple hours. It may sound boring and not a lot of fun, but everyone ends up having a lekka time. This brings me to my next point, the slang. The slang here is quite interesting actually. Take the word “lekka” I used earlier. “Lekka” is the South African way of saying that something’s good, awesome, or incredible. It’s the South African equivalent to “chill.” You often hear it paired with the words “my china” (pronounced “ma chano”) which means the same thing as “bro.” There is plenty of other slang that I’ve heard and picked up while here, but those are the two major ones that everyone says. Now, on to the school. The Bridge House School is different from Athenian, but similar in some ways. The biggest difference that I’m having trouble getting used to is calling the teachers “Ma’am” and “Sir.” This creates a definite line separating the students from teachers. To me it feels as if the teachers are there for learning purposes only, not to get to know the students. On the other hand, they do have a homeroom class every day where a group of 10-15 students meet with a teacher. This class closely resembles our advisory meetings. They also have school-wide assemblies every Friday, which are similar to our morning meetings. But during their Friday assemblies they did something that I’ve never seen done before… they sang a song. It wasn’t just any song, it was their school song. It’ll take some time to get to know the words, but by the end of my stay I should know the song by heart. Two College pupils played at the Paarl Valley Eisteddfod in the strings section Congratulations to the following boys on their results: Robin Brewer: Gold + Adam Sendzul: Gold Round Square Facts Gordonstoun in Scotland, the founding school of the International Round Square Organisation, has a Round Square courtyard (photo below) built in the 1600s by the Laird of Gordonstoun, Sir Robert. According to legend, he built the courtyard to confuse the devil and avoid having his soul taken at his death.

  • COLLEGE NEWS No 2 22 January 2016
    COLLEGE NEWS No 2 www.bridgehouse.org.za 22 January 2016 Traditional Ringing-In In 2005, the Matric Class of that year presented the school with an antique scramble bell which had been used in World War 2. Later a bell tower was built and this was when the tradition of electing a Scramble Bell Ringer to ring the bell on auspicious occasions began. The first bell ringing occasion for this year took place last week when the Grade 8s and the new pupils in Grades 9 – 11 were rung in. Konrad Blümers, the Bell Ringer for 2016, “gave it stick” on the bell, accompanied by loud applause from the students lined up in the walkway. Welcome to the College, boys and girls! Grade 8 and 12 Fun Afternoon "It's ok, relax, they're probably just as nervous as you are." These were my thoughts as the Grade 8 orientation day began. Most of the Matrics of 2016 probably had the same thought, as we pondered spending the day with some younger, apprehensive strangers in Grade 8. I will admit, I never considered myself "old and wise" enough to be anyone's mentor, but I soon realised that the mentee-mentor relationship is just as much about forming a bond and leaving a legacy as it is about guidance. It was amazing to see the age gap between these two seemingly vastly different groups disappear. In place of this invisible barrier appeared a memory of an afternoon spent apple-bobbing, three-legged- racing, games, swimming and dancing, all of which will hopefully unite these groups further.
