College News BRIDGE HOUSE PRE-PRIMARY PREPARATORY COLLEGE COLLEGE NEWS No 11 www.bridgehouse.org.za 12 April 2013 Welcome Back Here we are, already a week into the second term of 2013, into autumn, with a nip in the air and dark mornings and dark evenings. It is a great pleasure to welcome everyone back to school, with a term brim-full of new opportunities. We extend a special Bridge House welcome to new members of staff, Mme Gretha Burnett, who replaces Mme Mandaglio in our French Dapartment, and to Mrs Helen Maguire, who has taken up the post of matron in Bellegam House (boys’ boarding). In addition, it is a pleasure to welcome new students, Tristan Constable and Nicholas-John Jansen to Grade 10, and to welcome back Hope Motlepa to Grade 10 too. We are hosting four Round Square international exchange students, Lauren Beckett (Lakefield, Canada), Anna-Sophie Freyer (Louisenlund, Germany), Derek Spence (Hotchkiss, USA) and Purva Agarwal (Daly College, India). We wish them a rich and rewarding experience at Bridge House, and we look forward to the contribution they will make during their time with us. There has been a number of holiday activities, no doubt mentioned in this or coming newsletters (please read the sport section for further details). Bridge House hosted the first President’s Award Leaders’ conference. A group of 40 matrics accompanied Mr and Mrs de Villiers and Mr Simons on the Orange River, and we must congratulate a number of Bridge House people on some wonderful achievements during the break: Andrew Watson (son of Mrs Debbie Watson) graduates with a B.Sc (Hons) degree; Mrs Sam Arton-Powell has completed her honours degree; Ms Elmarie Kotze returns as Mrs Elmarie de Kock after her marriage to Rudolph de Kock; last year’s Head Girl, Francesca Conde, has been accepted by no fewer than four American Universities (one of which, Wesleyan College in Connecticut, accepts only 750 applications from over 11000 candidates!); Ethan Taverner completed his gruelling Black Belt assessments in karate; Michael-Lee Farringer and James Horner excelled at the top level in canoeing, and Tiaan Strydom’s golf continues to excel. Well done to all of them! As with the next hole in a round of golf, a new term means a fresh start with all that has gone before, all that learning and experience, behind one, and with a chance to use that learning to do things even better. We are all looking forward to a really productive term on all fronts, academic, cultural, sporting and in the service fields. I wish everyone a happy, challenging and rewarding second term! Finally, for this newsletter, our annual matric dance takes place this evening and we wish all who have had a hand in its arrangements and the Class of 2013 and their partners a wonderful and memorable evening. Mike Russell, Head Grade 9s Outward Bound The challenge of Outward Bound had finally arrived and there were extremely mixed emotions among the group of Grade 9s as we set off towards our destination in the Hottentots Holland reserve. Conversations were running through our heads that we had had with previous grades about their experiences but nothing could prepare us for what we were about to endure as the encounter lay in our hands only and the outcome depended on what we made of it. Many of the groups consisted of people who hardly knew one another and had only ever exchanged polite small talk. We soon realised that a week without civilisation in the middle of nowhere would definitely change that. With our food rations and equipment allocated, we set off for our first camping ground with abnormally heavy bags on our backs and an eagerness to get started. Every day after that was a new challenge, from abseiling (which made you believe in yourself enough to take the first step over the edge) to hiking for hours with just your group as motivation. Outward Bound made us trust others and ourselves more. The activities brought the group together. Even when we disagreed we managed to compromise and help others along the way to reach our goal. With each challenge we faced we all managed to stay positive and persevere. Outward Bound pushed us both physically and mentally but in the end we all came out on top and felt a new sense of achievement and accomplishment. Rebecca Visser and Nana Dlamini (Grade 9) Matrics’ Orange River Trip 2013 Wow! What a fun-filled three days on the Orange River! When 40 matrics left the Boland for the Richtersveld on Wednesday 3 April, most of them had never heard or dreamt of rapids and campsites such as Hamerkop, Entrance Exam, Sjambok, King Kong, Witch’s Hat, Scratches, Stairway to Heaven, Rollercoaster and Snotklap! Weather and water levels were perfect and our fantastic guides Cya, Blessed, Carl and Rodrigues were wonderful and managed to lead us all safely down the waters of the mighty Orange River! They should also seriously consider entering Masterchef, as the meals they dished up after a long day on the river were simply amazing! Thanks to Felix Unite River Adventures for a memorable trip, to Aubrey our bus driver and Paarl Rock Tours for the safe transport and to Mr and Mrs D and Mr Shayne Simons for accompanying this great bunch of matrics on this adventure. Election of New Chairman of the Board of Directors It is with great pleasure that we inform you of the election of Mr Gary Clack to the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors, at a special meeting of the Board on Wednesday evening. Gary was born in Johannesburg and attended Mondeor High to Matric. Two years in the Army were followed by an electrical apprenticeship and study at Johannesburg Technical College ending with an N6 national certificate. In 1993, Gary moved to Tulbagh and worked at Del Monte fruit cannery for six years before joining Albrecht Machinery in 1998. He is currently a shareholder and Managing Director at Albrecht Machinery, a company that specializes in the supply of automated solutions to the food manufacturing sector. Gary married Laura in 1993 and they have two boys, Keagan and Cameron, who attend Bridge House in Grades 11 and 5 respectively. They have been at Bridge House since 2009. We congratulate Gary on his appointment, the school’s Executive is really looking forward to working with him, and we are certain that you will join us in wishing him a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding term of office. Mike Russell, Head PA Class Representatives Our first meeting for this term will be on Friday, 19 April at 8:00 in the dining room. Hope to see you there! PA AGM Please note that today you should have received a notice via e-mail advising you about the PA AGM which is to take place on Wednesday 8 May in the Prep Hall. Congratulations! Mrs Elmarie de Kock (Kotze) made a beautiful bride when she married her husband Rudolph in the holidays. International Exchange - My Cold Canadian Experience On the First of January, I embarked on a journey that turned out to be the best experience of my life. My exchange destination was to the wonderful country of Canada. It was a truly remarkable and life-changing two month experience. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Canada. I attended a school called Lakefield College, which is situated in a town just outside of Peterborough. The school is in the countryside surrounded by beautiful forests and lakes. Canada was quite different at first but I soon became accustomed to everything. The big difference was the weather. Leaving South Africa at 35°C and stepping out of the airport in -25°C was definitely a huge shock. I soon grew to love the cold and especially the snow. I had a week before school started to recover and settle in with my new family, the Becketts. I couldn’t have asked for a better exchange family: they made me feel at home and have given me the opportunity to see different parts of Canada. Lakefield College School (LCS) welcomed me with wide open arms from day one. At first everything was very confusing, I had to navigate my way around a huge school and work out my new very complicated timetable, but with the help of LCS students I quickly got the hang of it. They say that Canadians are the nicest people in the world; in my mind they have definitely lived up to that. I have made so many amazing friendships that it will be hard to leave. At school I have had the amazing opportunity of participating in the Outdoor Education Course. During this lesson we did activities in the snow. My favourite activity was Nordic Skiing, which Is skiing along flat land. During these lessons we also had snow ball fights and went tobogganing. Twice a week everyone jumps on big yellow school buses and heads off to the local ski hill where we could ski for three hours. I thoroughly enjoy skiing even though I’m not very good at it. I was very privileged to be taken to Old Quebec City for a week by the Becketts. Quebec was like a winter wonderland: it was breath-taking. All along the street were beautiful ice sculptures and huge icicles hanging from the buildings. I also spent a lot of time in Toronto shopping and sightseeing. Toronto is a very large city with so much to do and see. You would never get bored in Toronto.

  • 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.
