Dear Parents
What an amazing, historical, emotional and profound week it has been.  Our appreciation of those whose courage and great wisdom brought about this change in such a peaceful and dignified manner is boundless.  It is now our individual duties to support those tasked with the mammoth responsibility of taking Zimbabwe forward and for each of us to step up and do what we can in the interests of the greater good.

Our Infants Gala today was a great success with all the ECD, Grade 1 and Grade 2 pupils so excited and showing off their swimming abilities so well.

Our special thanks also go to our Synchronised Swimmers for their beautiful display.

Our Grade 5’s have been on their Environmental camps to Imire this week which have been most informative and enjoyable.

Our chess players did exceptionally well at the Invitational Inter-Schools Chess Tournament last weekend as indicated in the results below.

Our tennis players and swimmers have played their last matches and competed in their last gala this week ending most successful tennis and swimming seasons.

Afternoon activities have now ended although Day Boarding will continue for those requiring.

The Grade 7’s are busy rehearsing for their production of the ‘The Wizard of Oz’, which they will perform for the school on Monday morning, for the old peoples homes and visiting schools on Tuesday and for parents and friends on Thursday evening at 6:30pm. This is a most enjoyable production that everyone is encouraged to come and watch.

Charity Collections
Grades ECD to Grade 5 pupils are asked to bring any toys, books, and clothing for children of all ages, which will be donated, to various children’s homes.  Any presents that are wrapped, please could we ask that they be labeled on the outside with the age and sex of the child the present is suitable for.
