SPORTS UPDATE

FOOTBALL Our football team played Paul Roos Gymnasium recently. We sent two teams - an under 15 team and an under 16 team. The first game was played by the u/15’s who had a very entertaining game that was 2-1 at half time in favour of SWS. The match ended 5-2 with our boys proving too strong for PRG. The second game, that started later, also included a couple of the u/15 boys. It started off in lightning fashion with our boys scoring two goals inside the first 5 minutes. The game continued in that very fast pace filled with action, with the PRG u/16 boys chasing the two goals they were behind by. However, they could not find the back of the net, and eventually ran out of steam and then conceded a further two goals towards the end of the game. SWS won the u/16 encounter 4-0. NETBALL Our netball girls visited Mfuleni High School, on the outskirts of Kuils River. With three regular players unavailable for the match, the girls were able to find able replacement players in Sthembiso Sibanda and Jadyn De Mink both in Class 8. In a very tough first half that was tied at 2-2, our girls eventually tired and conceded 8 unanswered points in the second half to lose 10-2. VOLLEYBALL The Volleyball team hosted Mfuleni High School, on our volleyball field next to the Coral Tree. Our visitors were very excited by our school and the setting of our school, and were almost surprised by our team. The first set was very closely contested as Mfuleni HS was still enjoying our very scenic campus, but eventually won the set 25-19. The second set was less of a contest as Mfuleni HS raced to a 5-0 lead. Waldorf, in true Waldorf spirit, fought back to catch up 5-8 but could not fight all the way and lost the set 25-15. The third set was SWS’s best as they led 10-6 but Mfuleni HS fought back and took the match to deuce at 14-14 and then serve for the set winning 16-14, thus winning the three set match 3-0. WELL DONE to our teams and well played this week. Good luck for their next fixtures! Next Fixtures: Monday 6 August Volleyball Team vs Western Cape Sports School (Home) Tuesday 7 August Netball Team vs Bridgehouse College (Away) Wednesday 8 August Netball Team vs Makapula High School (Kayamandi Sports Fields) Football Team vs Makapula High School (Kayamandi Sports Fields)

INVITATION and INTRODUCTION to the second season of

Jonathan Code workshops for personal and professional development

27th

September - 13th

October 2018

(Jonathan Code M.Ed - Social and Environmental Education, Coventry University, UK)

These courses are aimed at those persons with an interest in plants, gardening, herbalism, biodynamics, western esoteric

traditions, integrative education and anyone interested in world wisdom traditions.

Jonathan's research and work crosses all the disciplines including plant alchemy, medicinal herbs, social development, plant phenomenology and holistic science through a practice based approached. He is Director of Crossfields Institute International and runs the Master’s degree in Agroecology (researchingagroecology.org.uk) for Biodynamic Agriculture, Permaculture and other approaches. Jonathan is associated with the South African Biodynamic 2-year land based accredited training. He is a regular speaker at Waldorf Teachers conferences and is author of book Muck and Mind – Encountering Biodynamic Agriculture (Lindisfarne press) The workshops Jonathan will be presenting arise from over a decade of his work in social and environmental education (Ruskin Mills) and continue to develop out of ongoing research into the synthesis of science, art and contemplative practice as a basis for education and social renewal. WORKSHOPS and EVENTS: Bloublommetjieskloof Farm, Wellington:

– Crossfields Students (closed)

– Remarkable Plants & Plant Alchemy 1-4 Oct

– Soap Making 6 Oct

– Lecture on Alchemical Processes of BD Farming. 7 Oct

– BDAASA: Annual General Meeting 7 Oct Ludwig Nursery, Stellenbosch

– Rose Soap Making 10 Oct The Shed, Spier Wine Farm

– Lecture: 'Living with change 11 Oct Sophia House, Plumstead, Cape Town

– Yarrow, Venus, Copper Therapeutic Balm 12 Oct

J. Code: “In summary my work is deeply inspired by

anthroposophy and informed by the study of Dr. R. Steiner and

others, but I am at a point in my work where I want to bring

the themes of education, biodynamics and alchemy into a

broad context.”

We sense that what Jonathan brings will give us a physical, practical experience that will expand each persons' perception of the alchemical marriage of the inner and outer worlds. Costing is being finalised. It is our aim to bring this learning to all who are called to invest in their own development.

For initial expression of interest and bookings, please contact
