The school’s new astro facility was

officially opened on Wednesday 23

September 2015.

Thanks to an excellent plan put to-

gether by Mr Lincoln (Sport Strategy)

and Mr Jarvis, (Governing Body mem-

ber) the school has been able to save

an enormous amount of money by

utilising the existing base of three ten-

nis courts. Belgotex, market leaders in

Astro turf were commissioned for the

project, which entailed laying a

15mm rubberised surface or shock pad

(made out of 25 tons of recycled car

tyres) on the court, followed by the

astro turf. This surface will allow a

number of sports to be played virtually

injury free.

The astro will be used as a multipur-

pose facility - chiefly as a hockey sur-

face for practise sessions. It will also

be used as a tennis court and for ball

skills and small sided games of soccer.

“Having our own astro will take the

level of hockey to new heights at the

school” says Mr Lincoln

Ms Gonçalves officially declared the

astro open in the presence of three

esteemed old girls who were re-

nowned for their skill on the hockey

Jeppe High School for Gir l s

NEWS IN BRIEF SEPTEMBER 2015 EDIT ION

TERM 3

MESSAGE FROM THE HEADMISTRESS “It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.” - Robert H. God-

dard, US physicist & pioneer rocket engineer (1882 - 1945)

This quote truly echoes our Blanket journey this year. The dream of 670 blankets in Term 1, turned into the hope of 670 blankets in

Term 2 which transformed into the reality of 695 blankets in Term 3 - proving once again that it is difficult to say what is impossible.

Jeppe High School for Girls, as the only school in South Africa to have reached the 67 Blankets for Madiba target were rewarded with

the prize of R210 000 from Mrs Carolyn Steyn. We are most grateful for this generous ‘goodwool’ gift which will be used in the up-

grade of the changerooms on the Sports Fields.

To everyone that took part in the blanket drive, thank you for honouring the needs of the less fortunate – it was during the distribution

of the blankets we could feel the immense joy and gratitude from those receiving the blankets and knew that each stitch made with love

had brought not only hope but dignity too

The opening of the Astrofield was another dream which converted into reality. We wish the girls many happy days while they train and

compete on this beautiful surface.

Our guest speakers this term, Prof Jonathan Jansen (Vice-Chancellor of the Free State University); Mr Frank Magwegwe (CEO of Mo-

mentum) and Dr De Martini (International Human Behavioural Scientist) encouraged us to guard our dreams, nurture the hope of those

dreams and activate the reality of our dreams.

I would like to convey my gratitude to all the personnel who make our school one where girls can hope and dream of a better tomor-

row. To the academic staff and the administrative staff, your hard work is most appreciated. To all the girls who represented the school

in the various activities hosted during the term (as seen in this newsletter), your enthusiasm and dedication are commendable. To those

girls who have achieved exceptional standards in provincial and national teams, we are very proud of each one.

Thank you to all the parents who came to support their daughters at sport fixtures and cultural events, it always so wonderful to have

you cheering from the sidelines or supporting from the audience☺ Thank you to all the parents who sponsored items for the various

charity drives and Cake and Candy sales, your bold generosity is greatly appreciated and helps us achieve our goals. Thank you too for

all the weekly donations of sandwiches for Fairview Primary children.

Wishing everyone a most relaxing week. - Miss D Gonçalves

The pool that the Jeppe de-bating team competes in the preliminary rounds of the SACEE competition is a rather formidable one—one that boasts some of the best speakers nationally. This year we were able to pro-gress far beyond that to the provincial rounds where we won 4 out of 6 debates against Gauteng’s best.

The team has performed exceptionally well this year and has made immeasurable progress since January. Spe-cial thanks to Ms Griffiths and our coaches for their consistent guidance and sup-port. by Azminah Jhetam

GRADE 9 MARKET DAY ON HER ITAGE DAY

The grade 9 Market Day took

place on 23 September at the

same time as we celebrated

Heritage Day.

Each girl and staff member

were encouraged to adopt a

heritage other than their

own. They had to find out

about the culture, come

dressed according to the cul-

ture, learn how to greet one

another in the culture and

discuss traditional values that

are highly esteemed in the

culture.

This provided an exciting

backdrop for the Grade 9

market day.

The girls operated in groups

of four and had a term in

which to develop and manu-

facture a product that

Would appeal to their target

market of fellow learners and

teachers. They had to write a

business plan, source their

raw materials and produce

and market the product. They

rented their stalls for R5 each

and were allowed to keep any

profits they made.

Having seen their advertise-

ments displayed around the

school, their stalls did not

disappoint. With 50 busi-

nesses in all, there were

many diverse stalls, ranging

from T- shirts, hats and

custom made bags to cushion

covers, cushions, goods made

out of recycled bottles and

sweet wrappers, jewellery,

candles and sweet dispens-

ers.

Thank you to the Matrics who

ran the heritage food stalls

for the day.

67 BLANKETS Donated to Women of Vision in Westbury, Jo-hannesburg. They support over 200 child-headed households and have safe houses for abused women and abused children. We saw first hand some of the work both organizations do and met the children in their day care centres.
