College News BRIDGE HOUSE PRE-PRIMARY PREPARATORY COLLEGE COLLEGE NEWS No 31 www.bridgehouse.org.za 16 October 2015 Head Boy and Head Girl 2016 Head Boy and Head Girl for 2016 announced at College Awards Celebration. Congratulations to Cameron Shepherd (Head Boy) and Rebecca Visser (Head Girl) (More about the Awards Ceremony and the Matrics’ last day in next week’s newsletter) Round Square International Conference “The irony is Shackleton tried to save his men from Antarctica (in 1916) and we are now trying to save Antarctica from man,” Tim Jarvis, Keynote Speaker RSIC 2015 and author of Shackleton’s Epic: Recreating the World’s Greatest Journey of Survival. This year the Round Square International Conference was hosted by the United World Colleges of South East Asia. (UWCSEA has two campuses- totalling about 5500 full-time students.) We spent most of our time at the Dover campus, sharing, exploring and interrogating the conference theme of “Act today, Change tomorrow”, with a specific focus, as the opening quote suggests, on sustainability and what needs to be done to achieve the millennium development goals. Bridge House Delegates left to right: Andrew Jones, Kristin von Bülow, Lelia van Niekerk, Kirsten Welham, Lara Wessels, Ella van Niekerk, Ms Sam Tyler When we arrived in Singapore we encountered what appeared to be overcast conditions, but as we soon discovered, it was air pollution that originated from Indonesia. For the next two weeks, we tried to get a deeper understanding of the origins of this haze, which seems to be an annual occurrence in South East Asia. As a result of this crisis, it created a unique opportunity to consider the multi- dimensional issues faced by the developing nations and the spill-over effects that they have on a developed state like Singapore, especially significant in the context of the conference theme. Before the official conference started, we left Singapore to embark on our pre-conference tour to Tioman Island, Malaysia. This idyllic setting provided us with a fantastic opportunity to participate in a range of activities including kayaking, snorkelling and a number of treks around the island. We also spent some time helping a local family clear their land and assisted them with planting vegetables. Juara Turtle Sanctuary was another enriching experience, where we learnt about the plight of the sea turtles. This pre-conference trip also gave us the opportunity to network and to get to share the experience with students and staff from other Round Square Schools from Germany, Australia and Canada. Because Bridge House was first in the alphabet of the schools present, the Bridge House flag bearer, Lelia van Niekerk, was first in the procession at the Opening Ceremony. After a ferry trip and relatively long bus trip, we returned to Singapore for the conference. As is tradition, the Conference opened with a flag ceremony, with Bridge House leading the procession. The Conference had a number of thought-provoking presentations by keynote speakers, an Explore Singapore Day, service activities and a number of opportunities to discuss and explore some of the key themes in baraza groups. UWCSEA were the perfect hosts and the entire school community did everything possible to make us feel at home. The content of the conference programme was rich, varied and diverse and posed some challenging questions to all who attended. Bridge House can be very proud of our delegation: Lara Wessels, Ella van Niekerk, Kristin von Bülow, Lelia van Niekerk and Kirsten Welham. They made the most of this life-enriching learning experience and were wonderful ambassadors for our school. Mr Andrew Jones Below: Ella in a selfie with His Majesty King Constantine. As President and Patron of Round Square, HM King Constantine has been actively involved since he chaired its formative meeting in 1966. As a teenager, His Majesty attended Anavryta School in Athens which later became a founding Round Square member school. His main interests have continued to be in education and in 1980 he founded the Hellenic College of London. His Majesty is an Honorary Member of the International Olympic Committee and President of Honour of the International Sailing Federation.

We are very proud of you, Lucca! Matrics Cross-Dressing Day Their last opportunity for dressing up: the Matrics traditional cross-dressing day last week. Madame Zingara Celebration The College Drama outing to Madame Zingara's Celebration show on Saturday was awesome. The dazzling array of international performances in an amazing two-story tent was entertaining and a truly unique experience.

  • 2020 Conference
    December 2019 Dear Marvelwood Students and Families, Students have the opportunity to represent Marvelwood at the 2020 Round Square International Conference being held in Australia in September. The conference is being hosted by Scotch Oakburn College in Newstead, Tasmania and will bring together over 350 students and teachers from all around the world. The theme of the conference is Take Less, Be More. ​ ​ Round Square is a worldwide network of 200 schools in 40 countries, all of whom share a holistic approach ​ to learning, built around six IDEALS (internationalism, democracy, environmentalism, adventure, leadership and service). Each year, Round Square schools send a team of delegates to the international conference. Marvelwood has participated in four conferences: The Journey That Makes Us in Switzerland in 2016, Unite to ​ ​ ​ Ignite the Fire Within in Cape Town, South Africa in 2017, Bring Your Difference in Ottawa, Canada in 2018, and ​ ​ ​ Sarvodaya– the world we wish to see in Indore, India. All four conferences were incredible experiences for our ​ ​ ​ delegates, who represented our School with pride, maturity, and curiosity. The Round Square Conference trip is truly the experience of a lifetime. Delegates have the opportunity to learn about and be immersed in cultures from around the world, develop a network of international friends and contacts, and gain perspective on what it means to be citizens of the world. Round Square is a highly recognized and respected organization throughout the world. Delegates become part of a vast network of Round Square alumni, which affords opportunities throughout their lives. The all-inclusive cost will be approximately $3,500 per student, depending on airfare.
