CIRCULAR NO. 14

7 May 2015

Dear Parent(s) / Guardian(s)

“SUCCESS COMES FROM BEING CONSISTENT

DAY AFTER DAY, MONTH AFTER MONTH,

YEAR AFTER YEAR.”

Prudential Investment Managers

67 of our Grade 8 and Grade 9 learners wrote the 5th National Natural Science Olympiad today.

1) ACADEMICS

There are only 3 weeks remaining for grades 10 to 12 before the commencement of the mid-year examinations. By now the senior grades should be well into their study programme. With the new CAPS curriculum, the demands on our learners have increased both with content level and volume of work to be covered.

Our learners should be spending at least 3 hours per day with their exam preparation and extended study periods over the weekends. Those studying Mathematics in particular must seriously understand the necessity for such preparation. Our learners must approach their teachers in good time if they do not understand any sections covered so far this year.

We encourage Parents to monitor study periods and assist their children during this exam period. If our learners need assistance with study timetables or counseling during this period, they must please approach the school counselors.

INTERHOUSE ONE-ACT PLAYS

We would like to wish all our learners involved in the Interhouse One-Act Plays good luck with their plays tonight.

MOTHERS’ DAY

We at Fairmont wish all our teacher moms, administration staff moms, and moms of our pupils at Fairmont a very happy Mothers’ Day. We hope that you will be spoilt this Sunday and receive a little ‘payback’ for all the love, time and effort you invest in your children.

URGENT

We are in urgent need of parents to assist as either readers or scribes for learners who are in need of alternate assessment.

You qualify if you are able to offer up a few hours a day

Compensation will be per session

URGENT NOTICE FOR ALL PUPILS

NO pupils will be allowed to go home early on any day or after a test without a written letter from the parent requesting this. No emails!

Permission for going home early will only be allowed for emergencies.

If a pupil is too sick to stay for the full day after a test, then they must not come to school to write, but must provide the school with a medical certificate.

PLEASE NOTE!

All pupils are required to be at school at the regular time - 07h55 - even if they are not writing a test. This time will be used for consolidation or tasks organized by various subject departments.

All parents are asked to please be aware that when your child misses a Monday or a Thursday test, a letter from the parent and the relevant chemist slip (the date on the slip must pertain to the pupil’s absenteeism and medication bought), a certificate from the clinic or a doctor’s certificate is required. A medical certificate from either the clinic or the doctor is applicable for missing any exam. A note from you excusing your child from school for the days missed (not test days) is also required.

Grade 9 and Matric pupils must produce a doctor’s certificate for tests and exams missed as these are the two exit phases and their marks are externally moderated by the Education Department.

Learners are not allowed to go home immediately after a test if they are ill. They have to stay until first break. If they are ill, then they should not come to school. A doctor’s certificate will be required.

4) PARENT FORUM

We are just 2 short weeks away from one of our bigger fundraisers of the year.

ME-X 2015 will take place from 21 - 24 May at the Tygervalley Shopping Centre. This expo is aimed at matric learners and young adults across the Western Cape, and will feature exhibitors in the market for the Matric Dance, Plett Rage, Tertiary Education, Student Loans, Gap Years, Driver’s Licences and more.

Our exhibitor list is growing, and so is our excitement!

We will also be doing a drive for the Princess Project, a charity who collects unwanted eveningwear, shoes, fabric, jewellery, make-up - in fact anything that could be functional for a learner attending their Matric Dance. These items are donated to learners who would otherwise not be able to afford to attend their function.

MADCO, Fairmont High School’s Grade 11 Matric Dance Committee, will also be at the expo selling tickets to win some fantastic prizes.

Please support our school by visiting the expo at Tygervalley, bring the items you no longer have a use for to donate to the Princess Project, and buy a ticket from MADCO at the same time.

We look forward to seeing lots of Fairmonts’ young adults there.

For further information, or the chance to exhibit at this novel event, please contact Colleen Wilson on 082 781 9887 or Liza May on 082 331 1426.

Can you help? As mentioned, the Parent Forum will be collecting items for the Princess Project at the Matric Experience Expo.

We would love to be able to hang the evening dresses on a clothes rail for better visibility.

If anyone is able to lend us a clothes rail and some hangers for the duration of the expo ie 21 to 24 May, it would be greatly appreciated.

Please contact Colleen Wilson on 082 781 9887 if you are able to assist, or if you know of anyone who might be able to.

Thank you!

WORKPARTY, SATURDAY, 9 MAY 2015

Once again we’re back into the swing of things after 2 lovely long weekends and a very short 3 day week.

Most of us are back to the grindstone now though and, this coming Saturday, 9 May, the Parent Forum will be holding another work party from 13h00 - 15h00.

The planned mission is to complete and spray new benches, and to repair any older benches that might be in need of this.

The members of the RCL will ALL be attending as well to give their homeroom a bit of a makeover.

Bring the family and assist in improving the facilities of our childrens’ school while meeting and making new friends all at the same time.

Fires will be lit, so join us for a bring-and-braai afterwards.

We look forward to seeing a good number of Fairmont families there!

5) RAISING FUNDS FOR NEPAL EARTHQUAKE SURVIVORS

3 Past Pupils of Fairmont High School communicated with us via Facebook. They are reaching out to Fairmont’s parents to assist them with this very worthwhile cause.

Below is the letter they sent:

Hello Fairmont Family

As I am sure you have all heard, on Saturday, 25 April 2015, Nepal experienced a 7.8 magnitude earthquake, devastating the country, killing thousands and leaving many families permanently displaced from their homes.

Myself, Storm Hawman and Darren Lion Waterman, 3 past pupils of Fairmont, were in Kathmandu, Nepal, at the time of the earthquake. While we managed to come out of it relatively unscathed, we have witnessed firsthand the horrific impact this event had on Nepal and its people.

We made the decision to stay and help in any way we could and are raising funds in conjunction with our hostel “I Am Traveller Hostel” to support the survivors of this tragic event. We have already delivered 30 food and supply parcels to the affected village of Bungamati, Lalitpur.

The parcels contained rice, oil, salt, biscuits, soap, sanitary pads, phenol spray to avoid spread of diseases and rehydration salts. We also assisted families in recovering personal items from the rubble that was once their home. With monsoon season coming, displaced families are still in desperate need of tents and waterproof tarps. They also need water purification drops because drinking water shortages are an issue Nepal has struggled with even prior to the earthquake.

Please read more about the work we are doing here:

https://www.facebook.com/iamtravellerhostel?ref=ts&fref=ts

and make a donation if you can. A donation as small as R100-00 can supply at least 2 families with these bare necessities. Please also like and share so we can reach as many people as possible. You should find all the information you need on our facebook page but, should you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me directly. As always we hope to make Fairmont proud and know we can rely on you for support.

6) LIBRARIAN’S CHOICE

EDGE OF THE TABLE Fourteen Cape Flats Youths Tell Their Life Stories

‘From where I come from, everyone has a story and everyone

comes from heartache’. Mario’s words powerfully prefigure the

contents of these fourteen life narratives by young people on the

Cape Flats. Behind the beauty of the Mother City lies the harsh

reality of poverty and young people’s struggles to hold to their

ideals in contexts that undercut them. Children learn young about

violence, death, addiction and the failures of social institutions to

care. Their encounters with life’s rawness force them constantly

to refashion relationships that matter.

From the stories, it’s clear that state institutions and families fail

children. Interventions that matter come from NGO’s and faith-based interventions, and from

young people’s efforts to secure their tenuous worlds. Almost all of the young people report

on the absence of fathers and father-figures in their lives, and on the vulnerabilities of their

mothers and mother-figures. Few have lived continuously in one place; most report having

shifted all over the Cape Flats and beyond, with consequent breaks in their experiences of

schooling and friendship networks. Some children find in gang structures the sense of

belonging, respect and excitement that school, family and other networks do not offer. Many

were introduced to hard drugs while still young, usually by peers. Those who have managed

to resist or reform, tell of the difficulties of staying outside drug-related activities which

structure the local economy of their worlds. Young people reflect unflinchingly on the

fractured nature of their lives, on the processes that make for vulnerability, and on their

efforts to hold together relationships that matter.

This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to know how we are failing our youth,

and how they understand that failure.

7) ORANGE RIVER 2016

FAIRMONT HIGH SCHOOL

Fairmont High School is once again offering twenty students the opportunity to canoe along the Orange River. The route is a family-friendly section of the river for which no previous paddling experience is required. Children as young as 5 years and adults over 70 years have enjoyed the Orange River with Amanzi Trails, as it meanders through the rugged landscape of the Richtersveld. It is a life-changing experience that will leave your child feeling restored and revitalised with an added sense of achievement. Drifting on a 5-metre Indian Mohawk canoe, gliding alongside the river banks with their rich bird life, hearing the call of the fish eagle. Letting the sun soak tensions away, sleeping under the stars. These experiences are but an idea of what your child will experience with Amanzi Trails.

Arrive and overnight at base camp.

Sat, 19 Mar Row

A deposit of R1,750-00 must be made as soon as possible to secure your spot on this trip. Once your deposit has been finalized, you will be responsible to find a replacement if you are unable to attend. The total of R3,500-00 must be paid before or on 29 February 2016.

Your child will need a valid passport that is valid for 6 months after returning to South Africa. If you pay the deposit and your child does not have a passport by the beginning of April, he or she will not be allowed to accompany us on the trip. Non-South African citizens need a visa. As from 1 July 2015 minors must also have an unabridged birth certificate and will have to be accompanied by affidavits and certified copies of the ID documents from the father and mother or guardian.

NB: If you are interested, please collect a booklet from Ms. Soga before any payments are made. This booklet will contain all relevant information regarding the documents that are needed and all indemnity forms.

The third race of the 2015 season, at Tygerberg High School, was a very successful one for our Monty team. Samuel van der Merwe (Boys U17) once again put up a great performance, ending up 2nd, 2 meters behind the South African champion.

Carmen van der Merwe (Girls U19) continued to deliver an outstanding performance, coming 4th for the third time in a row. Bianca Harper (Girls U19) also delivered a great performance - 11th for the second time. Jessica Rossouw (Girls U17) came 21st, while Andrew Venter (Boys U14) came 23rd.

Our Grade 8 girls, once again made us proud. Marle Burger (15th), Aakifah van Rooyen (16th) and Rebecca Walker (25th) bettered their previous positions. Well done!

U16A GIRLS’ HOCKEY : CHAMPIONS IN THE MAKING

Over the long weekend when most people were relaxing and breaking away, the u/16 A girls team was hard at work in

Rustenburg’s Championship Cup Tournament. 12 schools took part and there was some serious competition. Even though the team didn’t receive the big trophy, they took a lot away from the tournament. Growing as a team being the most important. The team made the semi-finals and

drew against Rustenburg. The moment of truth: a showdown!! Rustenburg won the battle, but our girls will meet up with them again soon enough in the league fixtures. The results of the games were as follows:

Friday Saturday Sunday

Herschel lost 1-4 Rhenish lost 0-1 Gimnasium 1-1

Westerford won 1-0 Springfield won 2-1 Rustenburg 0-0

La Rochelle won 1-0

The girls ended fourth overall, but we weren’t done yet. We are proud to congratulate one of our captains, Jessica Rossouw, as the best goal scorer of the tournament with 6 goals. Well done!!! The girls came back very tired, but more knowledgeable and ready for the official season to start!!!

1ST TEAM GIRLS’ : FAIRMONT SHINES IN SPAR CHALLENGE

FHS first hockey girls participated in the second round of the SPAR Hockey Knock-Out Challenge at Rhenish in Stellenbosch.

The first game was played against Rustenberg. After a shaky start and going 1 goal down, our girls pulled it together with a gutsy performance and beat them 2 : 1. An excellent short corner resulted in the winning goal. Both goals were scored by Teagan Crament.

After this great win, we progressed to the next round where we played against Pinelands. Again, Fairmont showed some guts and brilliant skills to beat Pinelands 1 : 0. Teagan Crament scored the winner.

The 1st team has progressed to the quarter finals of the KnockOut competition which will be held in August.

Seven weeks remain before the end of term. In this time, the focus remains on our academic programme. June exams commence in three weeks for our grades 10 – 12, and four weeks remain before our grade 8’s and 9’s commence their exams.

This weekend we are taking part in the Bergvliet Sports Day. I encourage and invite our parents to join us at Fairmont this Saturday to enjoy the various fixtures.

Have a great weekend!

Yours sincerely

Mr R Dingley PRINCIPAL
