We welcomed four future Wynberg Girls’ into the world.
The first arrival was baby Imogen Buckley, followed by
Rebekah Mae Bassett, Nicola and Joshua Bassett’s
bundle of joy. In May, Wendilee and Wayne Melle
welcomed their very precious bundle, Isla Melle. Finally,
Aneeqa and Adeeb Said added to their growing family
when Baby Aiyah Said arrived.
Mrs Thompson became a granny in October when her
daughter welcomed Louis Alan Berrange. Enjoy this
special time, granny!

Thanks
Our sincerest thanks go to our administration team who
keep our ship sailing smoothly and our maintenance
team who keep all the cogs in our machine well oiled.
We have been kept safe by Harold Bagley and Aunty
Sharon Rhode and cared for in the afternoons by our
loving aftercare staff and for this we are grateful.

best as she embarked on an adventure to Saudi Arabia.
