Tennis

Dear parents,

With less than a week of the term remaining there is a growing sense of anticipation for the upcoming school holidays. And I suspect that no one is more excited than the boys and girls who will be travelling to the Netherlands to participate in the co-ed Hockey tour taking place in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. We wish them all a memorable time and safe travels!

After teaching in the College for more than 13 years, Ms Deirdre Yeo has decided to take early retirement from education. We thank Ms Yeo for her significant and valued contribution to the Mathematics department during her tenure here and wish her a happy and healthy future as she embarks on the next exciting chapter in her life. May it be an adventure! Our English department certainly has been productive lately: Both Mrs van Vuuren and Mrs February will be taking maternity leave later in the year!

The Reddam 1st Tennis team finished the term on a high note beating Wynberg Boy’s High School at Wynberg. The scores for the doubles matches were 8 - 6 to Johnny and Michael and 8 - 2 to Hayden and Emma. In the singles matches, Johnny played well to beat his opponent 8-5 and Hayden beat his opponent 8-1. Michael and Emma played very well and can be proud of their performances but lost 4 - 8 and 7 - 8 respectively. Well done Emma! Remember we were playing Wynberg Boys! Thanks to the parents for their support and we look forward to more excellent tennis later in the year. (Report by Mr Bowen)

Emma Henderson and Tara Gavric will be representing WC Disas (traditionally WP) in the Western Cape Inter-Provincial Tournament from 23 - 24 March in Stellenbosch. Emma is playing in the U17A side and Tara the U15A side. Reddam House wishes both Emma and Tara all of the best with their participation in this prestigious tournament.

“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist.

And however difficult life may seem, there is always something that you can do and succeed at.

It matters that you just don’t give up.” – Stephen Hawking –

Have a wonderful weekend! Warm regards,
