General knowledge is a place where we can be
transported to different continents, cultures and eras!
We are always learning about various disciplines such
as art, literature, music, cinema, science and technology,
politics and sport. This year we had our biggest GK
squad in our school’s history! We might not be the best
in the district (we are coming for you Herzlia!) but we
sure do have the greatest time at the GK inter-school
events. We looked forward to our Tuesdays because
we broadened our knowledge week by week out, and
friendly competition made it all the more fun! Sua Sung
and Leah Tarentaal made sure that we were motivated
and pumped up with Wynberg spirit. For us, being a part
of the GK club is greater than participating in contests.
We are constantly equipping ourselves with tools that
will help us make a success of ourselves in the future…
we can join in conversations about water conservation
and President Cyril Ramaphosa! Therefore, we are so
grateful for our Head of GK, Miss Jaipal, who made sure
we learnt about all things wild and wonderful. She always
encouraged us to ask questions and to read everyday.
“Curiosity is the quality that urges a child to
keep on f inding out more, to connect actions
with outcomes, people with feelings”
