WYNBERG GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL 2013 2013 | Page 46

CAPSTONE The Capstone committee chooses a different theme each term, aimed to equip and inform members in a fun and teenage-friendly environment. This year the focus was also on outreach into the community. The annual Capstone camp was held at Rocklands in February and was a great success. Several youth pastors from various churches held sessions and the Common Ground Youth Band was inspirational in leading the worship. We also hosted a worship evening and were delighted at the success of our theme, God's mission made possible. Capstone grew this year, both in numbers and in the commitment to serve our schools through the love of Jesus Christ.

This input and mentorship has been a wonderful source of improvement for the team. Highlights this year were the annual interschools tournament and the La Rochelle derby day. Both were enjoyable - the derby day in particular as Wynberg won 6-2. It has been through learning that the team has grown: the skills of the older players continue to be passed to the younger players.

A particular highlight was the PGSGU Interschools’ cross-country event at St Cyprians in August. Kirsten Roodman won the U14 section and Lauren Jonathan came 3rd in the U15 age group. The U14 and U15 teams both came 2nd, and Kirsten and Lauren were both awarded their WP colours.
