Well, the New Year has certainly started full of excitement and news. Hot shots are operational once again!! Mrs Melinda Smit is the Chairlady, with Vincent Drew Vice Chairman and Sam Nzuza the secretary. Committee members are: Ryan Sandwith, Richard Becker, Minnie Mjilo and Nondo Majola.
We have also had some staff changes; we said a sad goodbye to Bobby Warnock and welcomed Mr Dave Leroux in his place. Mr and Mrs Smit joined the ranks during July 2008. Thirteen new children joined us this year; we wish them well and hope that they will be very happy.
Our new Prefect Body consisting of :- Head Girl – Stella Rieth, Head Boy James Howes; Prefects, Charles Newborn, Rebecca Coetzee, Ayanda Msimang, Tyrell Padayachee, Jürgen Hohls and Simon-Paul Zagt entertained us with an impromptu concert with all newcomers.
It was a super evening with newcomers standing on a chair and introducing themselves to everyone with 3 marshmallows in their mouths!
Mr Leroux had to eat a Marie Biscuit spread with Peanut Butter and run around a chair whistling! Ms Lisa-Marie Kotzè and Miss Adele Jonker had to get an apple out of a dish of water with their mouths, hands behind their backs, only to find that when they came up for air, a very mischievous Rebecca dusted them liberally with flour.
Mr Pete Smit and his lovely wife Melinda were blindfolded and invited to put lipstick on each other’s lips; ugh what a mess, but not half as bad as Miss Mariska van Wyk who was painted with gooey sticky chocolate mousse!
