Dear Parents / Geagte Ouers

We have come to the end of an exciting term in which our

learners have demonstrated their growth mindset, not

only in the classroom, but also on the sports field and in

the cultural department. Striving and persisting are two

words which have been added to the vocabulary of our

learners and they have certainly showed us that they can

apply these two skills to their everyday lives.

Ons is nou aan die einde van ‘n opwindende kwartaal waar die leerders die groei-denkwyse

uitgeleef het. Dit het voorgekom in die klaskamer, op die sportveld en op kultuurgebied.

Streef en volhard is twee woorde wat by die leerders se woordeskat bygevoeg is. Ons

leerders het bewys dat hulle hierdie twee vaardighede in hulle alledaagse lewe kan toepas.

During Growth Week, Greg Bertish inspired our learners with his story about, ‘Little People

Doing Big Things’. This message further encouraged Kenridge Learners to persist and strive

for success. ‘Kenny on location’ and ‘Persistence Pals’ were other growth activities which

created much excitement on the Kenridge Campus.

Greg Bertish het gedurende Groeiweek die leerders inspireer met sy verhaal: ‘Little People

Doing Big Things’. Hierdie boodskap het die Kenridge-leerders aangemoedig om te volhard

en te streef na sukses. ‘Kenny on location’ en ‘Persistence Pals’ (Volhardingsvriende) was

ander groei-aktiwiteite wat baie opwinding op die Kenridge-kampus veroorsaak het.

Learners were dressed for

success during Growth Week for

the theme ‘My future self’.

Leerders het aangetrek vir sukses

tydens Groeiweek, volgens die

tema: ‘My toekomstige self’.

ACADEMICS – AKADEMIE

Our learners have certainly demonstrated their growth mindset and willingness to learn from

their mistakes through perseverance and a ‘never give up’ attitude. Academically, it has

been a term filled with new experiences and skills, as well as many moments where learning

was enjoyed through interesting and fun-filled activities. Egyptian Day, Maths Day, Science

experiments and Afrikaans Days are some of the highlights of the term. We trust that

learners will look forward to the wonderful learning moments which will take place during

Term Three.

Ons leerders het hulle groeidenkwyse en gewilligheid om te leer uit hulle foute bemeester.

Dit het deursettingsvermoë en volharding vereis. Op akademiese gebied was dit ‘n kwartaal

vol nuwe ondervindinge en vaardighede. Daar was ook oomblikke waar leer deur

interessante en pret-aktiwiteite plaasgevind het. Egiptedag, Wiskundedag,

Wetenskapeksperimente en Afrikaansdag was van die hoogtepunte van die kwartaal. Ons

vertrou dat die leerders sal uitsien na die wonderlike leeroomblikke wat in Kwartaal Drie sal

plaasvind.
