admired by the pupils. At the end of the day, Executive Director Mrs P. Chisanga gave a warm speech summing up what we had done and introduced the Guest of Honour, Mr Charles Bota, the Director General of Shoprite Zambia. He not only gave an inspiring speech, acknowledging our talent and commitment, but also performed a song with his guitar. To thank him for sparing his time, Mr Bota was given a portrait of himself drawn by Boniface from Grade 12, which Mr Bota admired a lot. Afterwards the results were an-nounced by Mr Mulenga, who made one House very happy. Written by Nompilo Dube and Towera Chihana

This year our Arts Festival was fully devoted to “Celebrating 50 Years of Zambian Independence”. Our three houses - Sable, Eland and Kudu - competed in several categories, thus highlighting our country‘s achievements through the arts. And, after an intense day of competition, the champions of the 2014 Arts Festival champions were (drum rolls, please) ……KUDU HOUSE! Wow! Amazingly, Kudu has won for the fourth time in the last seven years. They got 839 points, while Eland placed second with 832 points and Sable took the third place with 749 points, though here at CHS we strongly believe that everyone who puts hard work into something is a winner. So each

house got a trophy. The festival took place on Saturday, 19th July. It was supposed to start at 9:00 hrs but parents were already seated 30 minutes earlier, ready for the entertainment. The Festival started with the inter-house Drama and the winners of this category were Kudu! The song-category was narrowly won by Eland, which also won the award for the best poem and the visual arts display. Kudu, however, struck back with the best performance in traditional dance and the best food display. The master of ceremony Kiss Brian Abraham lead through the program and was greatly

CHUDLEIGH EDUTAINMENT

One of the most intense moments of this year’s Arts Festival: Kenneth Kaunda (actor: Twasika Moonga, Kudu) symbolically taking over from the British.

The best dressed pupil award is a trophy which is given to the best dressed pupil on Civilian Day. The award is given to a boy and a girl from secondary school by the Headboy and Headgirl. According to them, the best dressed pupils on term two’s Civilian Day (16th May) were Elijah Kabwe and Sonia da Costa, both from Grade 9. We interviewed the two pupils to find out how they prepared for the day. Elijah said it took him only 5 minutes to choose his clothes.

He picked them on his own and - even more surprisingly - picked them on the same day before school. He told us that he selected them be-cause they were the only clothes he could find and his friends said that he looked nice. We couldn’t help but to ask where he bought his clothes and he told us that he bought his whole outfit from Mr. Price. Sonia took a reasonable amount of time to choose her clothes (10 minutes) and like Elijah she chose her outfit on the exact day before school. The shirt and jeans were from

Mr Price, the shoes from a brand called Fashion. She chose her clothes herself and showed them to her friends before coming to school. She also did her hair herself. So you see that it does not need days of preparations to win the award for the best dressed pupil but asking your friends for guidance may help.

However, to our surprise, the construction site at the front gate is for a new section of baby and reception classes.

Just bring your little ones, don’t even stress about who will take care of your babies while you are at work, because Chudleigh House School has some of the best teachers in Zambia. We hope to see the Early Learning Centre open early next year. Written by Wanangwa Mvula (Grade 9)

The Chudleigh House School Arts Festi-val has always been a competition demanding complete co-operation, focus and determination from the three houses and this year it was nothing short of a glorious battle featuring dance, drama, poetry, showcasing of art pieces and of course the house song. Here is what the three houses did: ELAND HOUSE: With a lot enthusiasm, Eland was determined to win it this year, their coordinated dancing, stun-ning house song and their elegantly brilliant freedom poem written by house member Chapopa Chitembo showed that they would stop at nothing to win gold this year in what could have been the closest margin between first and second place in the history of

the Arts Festival, coming up a mere 7 points short of victory with their 832 points to Kudu’s 839. KUDU HOUSE: Kudu had confidence this year from winning three of the previous four Arts Festivals putting in a smashing display of individual talent and overall house coordination during their short sketch, traditional dance and food pres-entation. Coming in a close second in almost all the other categories guaran-teed them a win this year and it was surely a well deserved one. SABLE HOUSE: Everybody expected a better run of form from the 2012 win-ners. It’s hard to say that they tried their best because, put plainly, they didn’t. They had a thoroughly miserable com-petition this year placing third in all the

categories contested excluding drama and traditional dance, in which they placed second, well behind the winners of said categories. Even with a majority of the grade twelves in their house they still failed to pull together to snatch the victory this year in what, according to their line-up, should have been their year. Still, the three houses did a lot to get the win as they, exclusive of Sable, at least came first in one of the numerous categories. But as it has always been, only one house can win and so a big hand to Kudu House and all its members. And for the other houses, better luck next time. Article by: Chapopa Chitembo & Mutale Mwango

I n t h i s e d i t i o n o f “Quickterview”, we have an interview with our Science teacher Mr David Sydney Mutale, who joined Chudleigh House Secondary in Term 2. We asked him a series of questions and these were his interesting answers. When were you born? - On 18th August, 1975. Which schools did you go to? - I did my primary education in Chakopo, Luapula Province and then went on to Ndeke Secondary in Kitwe. What did you study at Uni-versity level? - I studied Physics. When did you start teaching? - I started teaching in 2009 at Greenhill school. What was your first occupa-tion?

- You won’t believe it: I was an Assistant Air Traffic Con-troller! That was quite a dif-ferent experience from what I do now. What religion do you be-long to? - Christianity. What are your hobbies? - Football and music but I also like to play computer games ever now and then. Do you enjoy things like dancing? - Well, honestly I don’t like dancing very much but I like to see people dance (laughs). Who is your favourite artist? - It is a musician, the blind singer Andrea Bocelli from Italy. -Which shows do you like to watch most on TV? - Mostly documentaries. It

happens fairly often that I find an interesting one that I can share with my pupils. What sports do you like to watch? - Apart from football I really enjoy racing, especially For-mula 1. Who inspired you in life? - Certainly my mother. I am very grateful to her. What do you think of Chud-leigh House School? - It is a great school. I espe-cially like the fact that it is relatively small so I can get to know all pupils easily. That is of great help to a new teacher.

Thoughts are caged, dreams are frightened/ Cheer up my Country, we are 'Independent'/ Oh Mother, you should be proud of your children/ Their cages are changed now but still not open/ The dust of the battle is settled/ The smell of burnt skin and grinding metal, has ceased/ From our skin now seethes pure joy/ Taste the drink of victory/ 50 years since we forgot the sins of the past/ The pain is gone but the scars will last/ The embers of racism still flicker in some places/ With all races falling victim because of their mis-placed hatred towards each other’s skin colour/

See I had a dream/ Don't mean to sound like Mr King/ But in it I saw the freedom of independence/ Like an eagle soaring carelessly/ Like a boat catching the bursts of wind/ Running wild like wild flowers just letting it be/ Daring to be yourself no matter what anyone thinks/ Staring at your future, with an eye that can’t blink/ Freedom and independence intertwine/ Forming an elegant grapevine/ Fermented for 50 years, taste the sweet wine/ That was made from the fruit of this great land of mine/

This is our story, and also my last line//

Independence - a Poem by Chapopa Chitembo

John chose not to die in the Bush - short story by Xuemei Musunga “What I can do.” “And you haven’t been doing that, Mrs. Smith?”

“I have, I’ve been trying, but it’s so hard and I don’t want my son to

die because of this, I don’t.”

“Why do you say he’s going to die?” “Because that’s what always happens in the end,” Tina Smith said, her

voice dead.

:::

“Please, let me go,” the girl said as tears ran down her face. The group was particularly high on drugs today; Marijuana, alcohol and a

little pink pill that everybody except John took.

“Shut her up, Lizzie,” Don- the unofficial leader of the group slurred and then Lizzie punched the girl in the face. Blood trickled down her

face and mixed with the tears that ran down her face.

She wasn’t a day over fifteen, and as a matter of fact, John had seen

her several times before at school. The blows that came afterwards were absolutely brutal-It wasn’t

anything pretty and so John found himself asking himself once more

why he openly took part in these things, why he hurt people, why he

liked half feeling things, coming home numb, destroying his future, disappointing his mother and most of all becoming like his father - the

man he never wanted to be - abusive, hurtful and heartless.

It was like someone poured ice cold water on him and he was

suddenly aware of everything around him. He pushed Lizzie away and helped the beaten and bleeding girl up. Her face was barely

visible from all the punches she suffered at the hands of Lizzie - her

face started swelling from them.

“What do you think you’re doing, John?” Don asked furiously, about to attack John in the Bush - the same place that brought them to false

togetherness because of things they should never have done or

believed in, because of lives they thought were half spent, because

they thought they needed that extra something to give them a boost. And this was all so wrong. They were never meant to do any of it.

Even with all of this, John knew what he had to do and he was

definitely going to do it.

John chose to never become his dad. John chose not to lose himself to the cold numbness he became so

familiar to.

John chose not to use himself to bring about hate, fear and sorrow.

John chose not to die in the bush.

It was his first time taking a joint. And it was also his first time being at one of these parties where illegal drugs were something

everyone just had to do; two or three joints passed around a whole

group as they shared saliva and didn’t seem to mind it. Everybody

was doing it and so John was going to do it. It was just a thing. They were at this place called the Bush, which was an abandoned

warehouse too small to be called a warehouse anyway.

The “they” that John talked about or mentioned actually consisted of

half a dozen people he didn’t know and the rest that he more or less passed at school. “The Bush” as they called it was named after

a strange large bush that was found right behind the warehouse

turned club. It must have been a good idea once, John thought. Outside of “The Bush” and in the bush were John and ten people he

never bothered about; and then it was John’s turn to take the joint.

He was hesitant, but he never wanted it to show nor did he want to

disappoint ten people he hardly knew. In an odd, unsettling way, he felt like he was losing his innocence, his

mental virginity maybe. He was never going to be the same after

this. He saw his own appearance in his mind- his bright brown hair

would seem like dark brown hair, his vivid green eyes would be dull grey eyes.

“Come on, John. Do it,” a pretty redhead called Lizzie reassured

him. He would only later on realize that there was nothing

reassuring about this. :::

In the beginning John would only go to The Bush once a week -

Fridays.

As time went by, as the joints got longer and the drugs changed and the cases of violence their group directed at unfortunate girls

increased and as John got more and more used to this kind of

lifestyle, he would go at least five days in a week; and because it

was a slow increment, John couldn’t see how terrifying it was. Sometimes John thought that they would be caught by the cops

sooner or later.

All good things or seemingly attractive things came to an end.

::: “John has been doing all sorts of things lately- very bad things,

skipping school, hanging with those kids that look like a bad crowd

and a sudden tendency towards drugs and violence,” the face of a desperate mother was the image before this therapist.

“What are you going to do?”

Our Under 12 girls came out third after only one week of training in the ISAZ Junior Hockey Tournament that took place on 17th May at AISL. The tournament took place only one week after term break, which made it difficult to prepare. Still, particpating and even coming third was a

great joy and a good memory for the school and those who took part in the tournament. The goals were scored by Nanyangwe Sichone, Nyadisapi Ngulube and

WRITE YOUR OWN SUMMA-

RISED NOTES

Your memory skills can only

be improved when you write

your own notes after having

studied. Do not be in the

habit of using other people’s

notes as they have their own

style of writing which you

may not understand.

FORM A STUDY GROUP

Study groups are very impor-

tant in that they help in the

exchange of ideas. Ensure

that you belong to one as this

will improve your memory

work and lighten your burden

at the same time.

HIGHLIGHT YOUR NOTES

Use highlighters to indicate

major points in your notes.

As usual, this issue of CHS Edu-

tainment will end with helpful

advice to prepare for exams

and the chores of pupil life in

general. Read carefully and

observe!

PREPARE IN ADVANCE

Reading your notes early

enough is the only way that

will make you better pre-

pared for the exam. This will

give you more confidence in

the exam room.

FIND THE RIGHT TIME TO

STUDY

Studying when you are tired

stresses the brain. It is better

to have enough rest after

studying for a short time than

to continue up to 3am in the

morning.

RELAX, EAT WELL AND HAVE

ENOUGH SLEEP

Try to relax a few days be-

fore the exams, go out with

some friends to reduce the

stress and tension. Eat well

and try to get a descent

sleep of at least 8 hours.

GET TO THE EXAM ROOM

ON TIME

Give yourself at least five or

ten minutes to gather your

thoughts before starting the

exam. It is advisable to be in

the exam room five to ten

minutes before the exams

commence.
