PHOTOGRAPHY SOCIETY
The society has grown this year, both in the number of committed members and in their
skills. We have captured memories at almost all of the school's numerous events, including
the Matric dance and Dr Woods’ wedding. The society has learnt about various techniques
and camera functions, including aperture and white balance. Term 1 focused on fashion photography
and members organised their own fashion shoot. Term 2's project was the creation of stop animation
films and a photography blog. Term 3 focused on displaying work to the school and at outside
competitions. Nicola Suttle, a past pupil currently working under the world's top stock photographer,
Yuri Arcurs, spoke to the society about her experiences and what the job entails.

SPIRIT TEAM
The Public Speaking Society started on an
excellent note by hosting our own independent Forum Discussion Competition. It was
felt there were not enough events available
for girls to participate in, and so the
competition was organised in order to
stimulate further interest in Public Speaking.
Six schools participated and the event was a
wonderful success. Another highlight was
our participation in SACEE's Forum
Discussion Competition where, for the first
time in five years, Wynberg made it through
to the final round, and Schael Igwe was
announced as Runner-up Best Speaker in the
finals. We were very proud of the team:
Lauren Gildenhuys, Andra Hoole, Schael
Igwe, Gabrielle Jacobs and Layla Kimmie. The
school hosted both events which was an
excellent marketing opportunity for
Wynberg. Finally we hosted a Public
Speaking event for the La Rochelle Derby
Day during the third term. The categories
were Prepared Speaking and Reading, for
junior and senior divisions. It was a pleasant
and enriching experience, and the
adjudicator was very impressed with our
girls' performances.
Spirit can be defined as a
state of being. The Spirit
Team embodies this
definition by being in a
