MATRIC EXPERIENCE EXPO 2015
Last year saw the Parent Forum embarking on a new fund-raising venture in the form of a Matric
Dance Expo.
The event, titled MD-X, was popular amongst both exhibitors and visitors, and proved to be quite a
success.
This year, we are planning on doing things on a much larger scale……….Go Big or Go Home they
say!
The expo, which will be titled MEˣ, will include all aspects of the complete Matric Experience, and
will take place from the 21 - 24 May 2015, at the TYGERVALLEY SHOPPING CENTRE!
We are very excited to be partnering with the Tygervalley Centre Management team, as well as
with Cream Library, an events company, in planning this event!
Watch this space for more information, fantastic opportunites, and news about absolutely
awesome competitions and prizes!

LIBRARIAN’S CHOICE
THE KEEPER
by MARGUERITE POLAND
When lighthouse keeper Hannes Harker is posted to a
remote island with his wife, he discovers something longhidden in the tower that caused him to lose his footing
and fall. Seriously injured, Hannes is evacuated to
hospital and nursed back to health by Sister Rika, to
whom he haltingly tells the story of his life: of his mother’s
mysterious death, of his wild young wife, Aletta, and of
the desolate island inhabited only by the lighthouse
keepers and guano workers – two communities confined
together, yet rigidly separated in one of the bleakest
places on earth. With the arrival of a figure from Aletta’s
past, her own secrets erupt into the present, just as the
simmering tensions and injustices endured for so long by
the guano workers erupt into a single, shocking act of
violence.
The Keeper is the story of two generations of lighthouse
keepers – men obsessed by their duty to the light – and
the wives who accompany them into a life of frightening
isolation.
