Gala: Triangular
Our swimming team competes against the other two Pinelands’ schools in the annual Triangular Gala,
hosted by Pinehurst Primary School. Our swimmers are improving every year! Don your supporters Tshirt and join us at the Green school.
Grade 4 Barn Dance
This is the highlight of the grade 4 year. Grade 4s
meet one evening in the hall for dinner and line
dancing.
Grade 4 Camp
The pupils experience their first camp at primary
school. It is an exciting opportunity for the grade 4s
to explore the outdoors, rely on each other’s
strengths and build relationships.
Grade 5 and 6 Camp
Grade 5 and 6 pupils, with their teachers and several other staff, spend 3 days away during the first
term. The venue is carefully chosen to provide the children with curriculum opportunities outside the
classroom.
All children are expected to attend as, besides providing curriculum growth opportunities; these camps
also encourage friendships and team building. These camps come at an additional cost to school fees.
Grade 7 Tour
In the last week of the first term, our grade 7 pupils, accompanied by their teachers, spend a week
traveling along the Garden Route. They visit several towns like Oudtshoorn, George, Mossel Bay and
Knysna during the week, and visit wonderful places of interest like the Cango Caves, Monkeyland, the
Knysna forest and an ostrich farm along the way. We are continually surprised at the reasonable price
we pay for such an amazing week. Everything you ever wanted to do in the area, we do, and more!
Grade 7 Valentine’s Disco
On the Friday evening closest to 14 February, Grade 7s dress up and celebrate Valentine’s Day in our
school hall. This evening event is attended by Grade 7 staff and pupils, and is usually over by 23:00.
Grade Meetings
Within the first two weeks of the year, every grade will have an early evening meeting for parents so
that you can meet the teachers, meet other parents and receive specific information regarding the
particular grade that your child is in. Please make every effort to attend, even if only one parent can do
so, as your child benefits greatly.
Grandparents Day
On this day, all the senior citizens in our school family are
invited to a tea and entertainment at our school. The
grandparents then come and spend time in our classrooms
with their grandchildren.
