4) SOCIETIES

Society signup took place today. The official time slot for Society meetings is Tuesdays from 14h30 to 15h30. The first Society meeting commences on Tuesday, 10 February 2015.

We at Fairmont strive to offer every student the opportunity to expand their potential in a field other than that of the scholastic perspective.

Our activities are innovative and not only will they have an impact on the learner’s self-awareness and self-esteem, but they will also bear fruit outside of the school portals.

PLEASE NOTE!

All pupils are required to be at school at the regular time - 07h55 - even if they are not writing a test. This time will be used for consolidation or tasks organized by various subject departments.

All parents are asked to please be aware that when your child misses a Monday or a Thursday test, a relevant chemist slip (the date on the slip must pertain to the pupil’s absenteeism and medication bought), a certificate from the clinic or a doctor’s certificate is required. A medical certificate from either the clinic or the doctor is applicable for missing any exam. A note from you excusing your child from school for the days missed is also required.

Grade 9 and Matric pupils must produce a doctor’s certificate for tests and exams missed as these are the two exit phases and their marks are externally moderated by the Education Department.

Learners are not allowed to go home immediately after a test if they are ill. They have to stay until first break. If they are ill, then they should not come to school. A doctor’s certificate will be required.

14) LIBRARIAN’S CHOICE

A HISTORY OF LONELINESS by JOHN BOYNE

Father Odran Yates is a good man. Dedicated to his vocation since entering Clonliffe College seminary at seventeen, he has lived through betrayal, controversy and public condemnation of some of his dearest friends. Through all of this, he has remained firm in his belief.

But something plagues his mind as the years pass. A feeling that there were things he didn’t see, chances he missed. People he has let down. Is Father Yates as blameless as he’s always thought himself to be? And what of the Church he has given his life to?

Time: 18h30

Venue: Hall

See you there!

Thank You!

THANK YOU to the enthusiastic Parent Forum members and Grade 8 parents who joined us last Saturday for our first work party of the year. All Grade 8 parents were invited to come along to this work party / bring-and-braai as an early opportunity to get to meet other families in the grade. We separated into work groups to tackle some much needed general clean-up and maintenance around the Astro, basketball and tennis courts. The scale of the tasks was somewhat daunting, but we were proud of the results of our efforts at the end of the morning, and then enjoyed our much needed boerie rolls and drinks around the braai!

Page 12: Fairmont Focus 3: 5 February 2015

We will hold another work party / bring-and-braai on Saturday, 14 March. This time we will be building new bench tables for the quads. Please diarise this date and come along and join the fun while doing something practical to improve our children’s school! All Fairmont families welcome!

THANK YOU to the parents who signed up for their My School Cards at the New Parent’s Evening on 27 January, as well as to the ‘old’ parents who use their My School cards to raise money for our school each month. In the month of December 2014, Fairmont earned almost R10,000 from My School!

Let’s increase that this month! Please make sure that you have a MySchool card, (a family may have more than one card, so please get a card for your husband, sister, mother, great aunt, etc), that Fairmont is a beneficiary on your cards, and that you swipe your card whenever you are at a partner outlet. It is easy fundraising for our school!

21) FAIRMONT BOYS’ & GIRLS’ HOCKEY

Fairmont hockey has hit the ground running this year as we look to improve on what was a great season for both boys and girls in 2014.

The Girls Indoor Hockey league got under way on Wednesday last week as Fairmont hosted both Tableview High School and Wynberg Girls High. It was a fantastic start to the season as the girls produced some top class hockey despite being a bit rusty from a long December holiday. All in all, we played 8 games, won 4, drew 1 and lost 3. A special mention must be made of the 8th team (Grade 8 players) who ended up winning one of their matches 12 : 1. Julia Hoal scored 6 goals, while Lynda Portelli scored 4. The Fairmont Hockey Family extend a warm welcome to all the Grade 8 Indoor players!

Congratulations to the following girls who have been selected for the Fairmont Indoor First Team

* Candice Earley * Teagan Crament

* Cayley Jones * Jessica Rossouw

* Brigeet Benadie * Emma Jacobs

* Courtney Clother-Sinclair * Julia Masureik

A further congratulations goes to Emma Jacobs who will captain the side with Cayley Jones being the vice-captain.

Finally, welcome to Ross Willis, Jody Erasmus and Robert Goslett (professional coach) who have joined the Indoor coaching staff this year.

The boys have also started the journey to a successful outdoor season as their pre-season fitness training got under way on Monday morning and will continue throughout February.

A warm welcome to the U/14 boys who have become a part of the Fairmont Hockey Family. We look forward to seeing your growth over the next 5 years as you serve Fairmont Hockey.

Below is a photograph of the U/14 pre-season squad as they await the dreaded Cooper Test.

May this be the best year yet for Hockey at Fairmont as the Green Machine marches on.
