Dear Parents
Well spring is officially in the air! Our campus is looking
absolutely beautiful and thanks must go to Margaret Wood and her
team for all their hard work! We are always looking for plants for
the garden, so if you have any slips or cuttings from your garden,
we would be most grateful.
The term is already racing away at a hectic pace so please keep
an eye on the website diary for all events and schedules.
Applications continue to stream in for all grades and it looks as
if we will be starting the 2015 academic year with all classes
fully subscribed! Please remember to let us know if your child will
not be returning to Cedarwood next year, as we have many children
on the waiting list, desperate to get into the school.
The College closed for their short spring break on Tuesday and
they will return to school on 14 October. The matrics are preparing
for their final examinations which begin on 27 October .
You will be receiving , via child mail, a letter discussing the
new POPI Act which is to be enforced soon (Protection of Personal
Information ). We need to request permission to use photographs of
your child in the school magazine, on the website etc, and we thank
you in advance for your co-operation in this regard.
It is with great sadness that we learnt of the recent death of
Anita Lyall, one of the founder parents of Cedarwood School. As
well as being a parent, Anita worked at Cedarwood as the office
administrator for many years, until her retirement in April 2008
when she and her husband moved to the South Coast. The Lyall’s
worked tirelessly to get Cedarwood where it is today and her legacy
will live on in each and every child who passes through Cedarwood.
RIP gracious friend and colleague.

for granted.” - R. Green

For the next two weeks, Cedarwood will focus on the two
following behaviours for our Roll of Honour:
Walk while on the corridors—running is for the grass; Wear the
correct, full school uniform, even after sport, when leaving
school.

From the Sports Desk We have been back to school for three weeks
now and it seems like forever. This attests to the amount of work
that has been packed into the three weeks. It is very heart warming
to see the enthusiasm with which all the children await the start
of our games. In addition, I find that it is critical to note that
attendance to practices has been very high showing growing maturity
among the pupils. Please encourage pupils to excuse themselves if
they will not be attending practices.
This brings me to the Sports Awards Assembly that will be hosted
by the sports department later in the term. We await the return of
the trophies that the children received at the same event last year
as these are floating trophies and can only be kept for up to a
year. We will be making more concerted efforts to contact those
parents whose children received these trophies in order to prepare
for this year's event.
Our sporting fixtures start next week in earnest with a packed
week in which the only day with no fixture will be Tuesday.
Children will have brought home letters if they were selected into
any one of the teams to represent Cedarwood. We would really
appreciate it if you helped them pack the correct sporting attire
for the day and also come along to support them.
Oliver Ngwenya Mrs Alexander would like all the 2013
trophies to be returned as soon as possible.
Thank you

Dear Parents
It is almost the end of the year and a time to think of the
children and the elderly that will spend the December holidays with
very little. This is where we can help by making up Love Boxes that
will be distributed to Sumsaren Children’s home and Old Age
home.
Please refer to the Cedarwood website for examples of the items
that the Love Box(es) must contain, this will help gauge the cost
of each box.
You will receive a specific check list as well as some details
about the person you will be making the Love box for, when you
return this tear off slip.
The Love Boxes need to be brought to school by the 19th
November.
Please ensure that the items are new and not used or second
hand.
Gift tag/s and a checklist will only be issued once your tear
off slip is returned to Miss Kim Bristow.
We greatly appreciate all your support.
Many Thanks
The Charity Committee
