WYNBERG GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL 2013 2013 | Page 50

MARIMBAS s r nio Ju @teams_clubs_societies MOUNTAIN CLUB MUSLIM STUDENTS’ ASSOCIATION The MSA had two main goals this year - to help children's homes within our community and to bond as a group by sharing our culture and interests with one another. The MSA fun day and the Iftaar were both successful and rewarding events. We invited two children's homes and presented them with hot meals and gifts for each child. We also bonded as a group in many ways. Rifqah Francis shared her blog, Unclaimed Muslima, and Naafi'ah Mayet and Zayaan Stegmann rendered a beautiful recitation and translation from the Quraan. We held sessions about Science and Islam and also made delicious foods together. The year was undoubtedly one of spiritual and cultural gain.

There were also hikes such as the Oudebosch Trail in the Kogelberg Reserve where we walked down into Harold Porter Botanical gardens in Betty's Bay. NETBALL 1st Team U14A team Front: A Myeki, S Stieger, S de Kock Back: Y Chamba, A May, Mrs A Smith (Manager), O Adams, N Zeelie, Mrs S Williams (Coach), A Jacobs (Captain), M Clifford Front: K Dawson, B Jacobs, S Underwood, C Stevens Back: O Lusasteni, Ms Z Madonsela (Coach), A Robertson, T Harrison Our goal was to prove to ourselves and the school that we are a sport that deserved recognition and support. With help from the Film Crew, we made a promotional video and showed it in assembly the day of our first match of the season, against Herschel. That day, Wynberg girls lined the court, cheering from all sides, and we won! Then came the Springfield matches! Minutes before the start, a roar was heard as a host of Wynberg supporters arrived. This kind of pride helped the teams to win - a special moment that demonstrated the power of the Wynberg girls. Another highlight was when Supersport filmed our Westerford match (which we won!). Yeukai Chamba and Anna Jacobs were interviewed afterwards and did a great job of marketing the school on TV. I am proud of the commitment & good spirit shown by all teams. Every player can be proud of how their skills have grown and how they ]
