The Parents and Friends committee is a group of parents who serve to support the Heads of the School by assisting with various functions and in different portfolios. We have one representative per grade. These parents assist with functions such as the Reddam House Golf

Day, the Harvest festival and the Woman’s Day dinner. They also serve beverages at art exhibitions, music evenings and grandparents’ days to name but a few. This wonderful group of people is also involved in making boerewors and egg and bacon rolls at the different sporting tournaments. These Stage/Grade representatives disseminate information to the necessary groups via face book pages and WhatsApp groups. If anyone is interested in being a Stage/Grade representative on the Parents and Friends Committee please email [email protected]. Alternatively if you would like to be included in serving at functions, but not be a Stage/Grade rep, please indicate this too.

The Western Cape Show Jumping Championships for Junior Riders was hosted at the Stellenbosch District Riding Club last weekend. Tamara Rueda was crowned the Western Province Junior Show Jumping champion at this event after being placed 1st on “Baly” and 2nd on “Quantas” in the top junior class of 1.35m. Tamara is congratulated on this exceptional achievement in her last show as a junior rider.

Daniel Moore and “Mega Jet” placed 2nd in the 90cm Championship class at this prestigious event.

During the holidays, Daniel Moore (and his horse, “Mega Jet”) also competed in the multi-discipline show hosted in George that offered show jumping, dressage, equitation and showing. Daniel achieved the following results:

Won his Competition in 2 Phases (Showjumping)

Cross Country Running

Nina Marais participated in a really tough 15km trail run last weekend, the Goat Run. Despite being the youngest competitor, Nina achieved a very commendable 21st place out of the 114 female competitors. Well done, Nina!

The End-of-Year Music concert took place on Wednesday evening and we were entertained by wonderful singers, ensembles and a wide variety of instrumentalists. It was lovely to hear such a diversity of musical styles and to see such confident performances.

Appreciation is also extended to our dedicated Music teachers who nurture and direct this talent with such care and expertise.
