  • Newsletter-9-17.Pdf
    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.

Starting date: 27 February Please contact Ms McLaren [email protected] or Ms A Gray [email protected] SCIENCE AND FAITH On Thursday 8 February at second break, CU (Christian Union) had the privilege of hosting Dr Derek Fish, a talented physicist, passionate about science as well as his faith. Dr Fish addressed a large group of Westerfordians about how, contrary to popular belief, science and religion do not have to clash, but instead overlap and can go hand in hand. He shared many quotes with us from famous scientists in the past about faith and science coinciding, as well as comparing scientific fact to what the Bible states. Dr Fish also made time towards the end to answer some of the pressing questions the Westerfordians at the event had, many of which would have been difficult for the average person to answer! A huge thank you to Dr Fish for taking time to share his incredible insight and wisdom on this subject with Westerford.

    Westerford Newsletter 18 (31 May 2018) WESTERFORD HIGH SCHOOL Newsletter 18 31 May 2018 EXCURSIONS, TOURS, EXCHANGES AND EXPEDITIONS OFFERED TO OUR PUPILS AT WESTERFORD Unfortunately, in last week’s edition, the more established of our two trips to the Transkei region of the Eastern Cape was omitted. We apologise to the excursion organiser, Mr Dugmore, and all those interested in what is a wonderful, and in many ways potentially life-transforming opportunity. The information follows: TRANSKEI HIKE Purpose of the hike: The purpose of the hike is to provide pupils studying isiXhosa with an opportunity to deepen their understanding of the Language and Culture as they walk through the rural Eastern Cape for six days. Pupils are also introduced to the work being done in Health and Education in the Zithulele area where Westerford has an active link with a number of Old Westerfordians. To which grade and / or subject is the tour offered? In the early days the trip included a combination of Grade 10 and Grade 11 Xhosa SAL (Second Additional Language) pupils. Due to its popularity, the trip is currently offered only to Grade 11 Xhosa SAL pupils. How frequently is the hike offered? This hike is usually offered annually during the September / October holidays. (2018 will be the 18th tour) Is the organisation of the tour undertaken by a Westerford TIC (Teacher-in-Charge), or an 'outside entity'? The organisation and planning is done by Westerford teacher, Mr Dugmore, Head of isiXhosa. 1 Westerford Newsletter 18 (31 May 2018) WESTERFORD HIGH SCHOOL GLORIOUS RAIN Oliver Twist sings “Food, Glorious, Food!” in the musical of that name.

  • We're Still Celebrating!
    We're Still Celebrating! Over the past few months, there have been many articles written about how people around the world have experienced an enormous sense of loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As we put this issue of the Herzlia Headlines together I can't help but feel this too. We were all looking so forward to 2020. A year ago, we commenced preparations and plans for our 80th birthday celebrations. What a programme we had. We started with the Kolhakolot Carnival, which was really the old fashioned Herzlia fete,but on steroids. Less than two weeks later we shut the schools down. The long weekend in August was going to be the primary focus for the remainder of our celebrations with Shabbat services and brochas in all our shuls, school parties where we would have invited alumni, past teachers and parents, alumni reunions at our schools, talks and debates, old boys sports matches and the highlight: Feel the Beat at the CTICC. Due to our 'New Normal', we have had to re-look what we are doing and how we are doing it. It is important that everyone is part of our celebrations. Feel the Beat is going ahead, but in a different format. We will be using the technology available to us to produce a musical Herzlia journey. Because it will not be a live performance it has allowed us to feature our overseas alumni together with our pupils. So SAVET HE DATE! On Sunday 25 October 2020 we will be showcasing Celebrating 80 -The Musical Movie.
