You might have noticed that Rose Cottage has been looking

very festive recently...

On Wednesday we celebrated HFC’s 112th birthday.

The entire school got together to celebrate with a beautiful

mass. We were honoured to have Bishop Duncan at HFC to

celebrate mass with us. Dr Potterton cut the school’s

birthday cake, we all sang happy birthday and after the mass

each child received a party pack as a birthday treat.

The spirit and love of our small family has definitely been

very evident this week!

GRADE 2 ROAD SAFETY PROJECT

The Grade 2s have been learning

about road safety this week.

They now know all about road

signs and where it is safe to cross

the road.

GRADE 6 BATTLE OF THE BOOKS

This week it was the turn of the Grade 6 team to head to the Parkview Library

to compete in the area round of the competition.

(Left to right) Rea Itholeng, Jaden Hendrickes, Kagiso Akika, Jada Moyo, Bontle

Maboe and Mbali Molepo battled it out against 3 other schools.

The competition was tough as each team was required to read 15 books

between them.

The girls held their own and represented our school with pride.

MISSING QUALITY KID BADGES

We are still missing lots of

Quality Kid badges.

It is incredibly important that

your child returns the Quality Kid

badge to their teacher the

Thursday after they receive it.

The children with outstanding

badges have received an orange

slip in their diary. Either the

badge needs to be returned or a

R100 replacement fee paid.

QUALITY KID – EXTRAORDINARY EFFORT

The award this week goes to those children who put extraordinary effort

into their work – no matter how easy or difficult they find it.

CONDOLENCES

Our thoughts and prayers are with

Amu Mhlanga in Grade 6 and his

family this week. His father passed

away after being involved in a car

crash last weekend.

The funeral service will take place

this weekend in Nelspruit.

The whole HFC family and Grade

6s in particular are thinking of

their friend at this difficult time.

Farewell to the WITS Education

Rathloko and Miss Madiba who

weeks.

KFC MINI CRICKET MATCH

The boys and girls in our Mini

Cricket team enjoyed their

match on Saturday even

though the event was not well

planned. Thanks to the parents

and guardians who made a

special effort to get the

children to school bright and

early!

Thank you to Coach Jarrod and

Ms Mash for accompanying

them.

The Grade 3s had a great

time showing their ‘things

from long ago’ projects to

the rest of the Foundation

Phase.
