READERS ARE LEADERS AT PNPSThe annual PNPS Readers are Leaders day held during Book Week was a complete success, thoroughly enjoyed by the children who were read to by various invited guests from the community. This year the Grade 7’s were able to listen to Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille, who read extracts from Nelson Mandela – Long Walk to Freedom. After the readings, the children were given the opportunity to ask the readers about their occupations and favourite books. The emphasis is on

the importance of reading and why it is an integral part of their future success. A few of the guests did a lucky draw where some learners won books and other prizes. Max Schutte took the Grade 2’s through the construction of a story of their own making, and how illustrating with pictures adds to the story. The school also has a dress up day where children can dress up as their favourite characters; and another day where parents come and read to the classes.

Invited Readers from the Left: Candice Botha, Ryan Termorshuizen, Tracey Fraser, Sean Fraser, Lucy O’Connell, Gill Haiden, Brandan Reynolds, Patricia de Lille, Glynnis Schutte, Rose Casserley, Max Schutte, Kosma Von Maltitz, Rustum Fortune and Twala Ngambi.

The mayor with school staff: Ann Morton, Patricia de Lille, Sarah Holman, Valentine Nefdt.

RONDEBOSCH BOYS’ HIGH SCHOOL WINS UCT MATHEMATICS COMPETITION 2015Rondebosch Boys’ High School won the UCT Mathematics Competition for the second successive year.There were 7688 entrants from 169 schools. When each schools’ results were added, Rondebosch came first with 4101 points, Bishops 2nd with 3902 and Westerford

third with 3645. This is an outstanding achievement and congratulations go to all the boys who participated and the Rondebosch Boys’ High School Mathematics Department and in particular Mrs Susan Carletti.

Mustafa Karboree (Gr 12) has arranged an event under the guidance of the RBHS Head of History, Mrs Margie Kershaw and the History and Cultural Society at the school to show their collective support against Xenophobia on 16 June (Youth Day) from 10:00-12:00 at the Rondebosch Common.

This event involves pupils from five local schools (Rondebosch Boys’ High School, Rustenberg High School for Girls, Sans Soucci, St Georges Grammar School and Groote Schuur) walking around the Common and an address by Dr Shuaib Manjra (Sports Medicine Specialist).

Dr Manjra is renowned for his work in anti-doping campaigns in the sports industry, is very involved in campaigns aimed at addressing human rights issues all over the world and will address participants about Xenophobia in our country and what we, as ordinary citizens of South Africa, can do to start rooting it out.

Radio stations KFM and Voice of the Cape have been invited to cover the event. While we realize that our stand will not solve the problem, we hope to raise awareness, while the attacks may not be as publicised, people still live in in our country in fear and hatred.

WINTER COLD AND FLU FIGHTING TIPS:

A WEEK OF FIGHTING CANCERThe first week of May was Cancer Week

at Westerford High School. This week, organised by the prefects, was dedicated to the support of people fighting against cancer, a disease that takes the lives of many people every year. The week saw many events in support the fight against cancer, including a remembrance tree, a support circle for those whose friends and family have been affected by cancer and many more.

The build-up to Cancer Week had Interact holding a ribbon-making event in which they made ribbons that they handed out at the start of the week. Interact members walked around the school campus handing out ribbons for pupils to put on their Blazers in support of the fight against cancer. There were many colours of ribbons, each one representing a different form of cancer, and pupils could choose which colour ribbon they wanted, in support of the fight against certain, or all cancer forms. The Afrikaans Club held a stall that sold candy floss and popcorn to the students to raise money for CANSA (the Cancer Association of South Africa). This stall was open in both breaks on Monday and

raised a sizable amount of money.First Aid society hosted an “Everything

you need to know about cancer” talk on Wednesday 6th that informed the pupils on how to prevent cancer, how to help loved ones who have cancer and how to recognise the symptoms of cancer. This very informative talk even mentioned the foods that we should and shouldn’t eat in order to stay cancer-free.

The Westerford prefects of 2015, the group of people who organised Cancer Week, did not let the pupils down. They filled a massive noticeboard with information so that every pupil could stay informed about this fatal disease. This included an extensive list of all the different types of cancer, a poster showing all of the different colour ribbons and what they each support, and many more pieces of cancer knowledge.

Cancer Week was a brilliant success that informed and interested many pupils, as well as consoling and helping others with cancer-related problems. Westerford pupils may expect to see more events like this in the future. Thomas Hansen 10D

sneeze or itchy throat is probably too late. PS: Once you have recovered from your cold or flu, why not try McNab’s SuperCharge, your daily dose of sustained energy. Our modern lifestyles of little sleep, long work hours, eating junk food, and drinking lots of caffeine and

alcohol often result in a micronutrient deficiency, causing low energy levels. McNab’s SuperCharge combats this with a carefully selected range of multivitamins, minerals, omega oils, and herbs (such as Superherb Siberian Ginseng) for an extra dose of all-day energy and all-round wellness.

REPRESENTING SOUTH AFRICA AT THE INTEL INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING FAIR 2015Josiah Senior and Fritz Keyzer, both in Grade 12 at Pinelands High School, have just returned from representing South Africa at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair 2015 (ISEF) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.For the Cape Town Science Expo last year Josiah and Fritz created a portable power source that gathers energy through solar panels that follow the sun, increasing their efficiency by 45% compared to stationary solar panels. The power source is built in a box, making it a portable system

that has sufficient power to charge small electronic devices, batteries, or lights. Their project won gold at both the Cape Town Eskom Expo for Young Scientists and The International Science Fair held in Johannesburg.At ISEF, 1 700 students from different countries demonstrated their innovations in science and engineering. Josiah and Fritz were two of the 11 South African teenagers who were chosen to represent South Africa with their unique solutions to the country’s food security and energy problems.

WHAT ARE THE NBTS?The National Benchmark Tests measure your academic readiness for university. They complement and support (rather than replace or duplicate) your National Senior Certificate (NSC) results.

WHO USES THEM, AND HOW?A number of universities across South Africa use the NBTs to help interpret your NSC results. Universities use the NBT results in different ways:

Some use them to help make decisions about your access to university. This means that your NBT results, in combi-nation with your NSC results, are used to determine whether you are ready for academic study.

Some use them to determine placement within the university. This means that the results are used to decide whether you will need extra academic support after being admitted to university.

Some use the tests to aid in curricula development within the university – what is taught and when.

WHAT DO I HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT WRITING THE NBTS?You can find out all you need to know about writing the NBTs in 2015 on the Na-tional Benchmark Tests website, www.nbt.ac.za. Here are some important points:

There are two tests: The AQL, or Aca-demic Literacy and Quantitative Literacy test, and the MAT, or Mathematics test.

Everyone applying to a university that uses the NBTs has to write the AQL test. The MAT test is reserved for those candi-dates who wish to apply to programmes for which Maths is a requirement, such as Health Sciences, Engineering, Account-ing, and most of the sciences.

There are no past papers or special study materials to prepare for the tests. The tests assess your prior knowledge: what you know and are able to do.

You must register online to write the tests, and you pay up front. Go to www.nbt.ac.za to register.

A complete schedule containing all test locations and dates is available on the NBT website.

The costs are as follows: R80 for the AQL test only, and R160 for the AQL and MAT tests taken together.

It is important that you write the test(s) in time to meet university admission dead-lines. If you are applying to more than one university, make sure to take the test(s) in time to meet the earliest deadline.

See www.nbt.ac.za for more details. If you have any queries about the NBTs, contact the call centre (021 650 3523), or connect with the organisers on Facebook (facebook.com/nation-albenchmarktests) or Twitter (twitter.com/CETAP_UCT).

The National Benchmark TestsAre you in Grade 12? Are you thinking of applying to a South African university? If so, you’ll have to write the National Benchmark Tests (NBTs). Here, we summarise some of the key things you need to know about the tests.

CENTRAL DISTRICT SPELLING BEE Groote Schuur Primary learners had the privilege of taking part in the Central District Spelling Bee in May this year. The event was a nail-biting affair, with the District’s greatest spellers going head to head.All who attended marvelled at the skill of

the participants. The atmosphere was electric, and all of the participants gave it their best. We would like to commend the WCED and all of the participants for contributing to a great day.

From left to right Amy Irlam Gr 6, Mairin Stewart (supporter); Kyla Peters Gr 6; Sarah Kruger Gr 6.

The Bergvliet Primary School families have kind and generous hearts. Whenever the school is approached for assistance by various organisations to participate in drives and initiatives, the overwhelmingly positive response never fails to impress us. In Grade Four we have a learner, Mia Hendricks, who received a transplanted liver at a fairly young age at The Red Cross Childrens Hospital. Mia’s connection with the Red Cross Hospital ensured that Bergvliet Primary School responded enthusiastically to a request for toiletries to be used by family of patients being treated at the hospital. The reward for this combined generosity was a Civvies Day.

OUTREACH

Grade Two learners built little boats from recyclable materials and attempted to float them across the width of the school swim-ming pool. That was fun.

Grade Four learners visited The Centre for Conservation Education in Wynberg to take a trip back in time and experience what a classroom from the previous century would have been like.

FUNDRAISINGOur annual Second Term fundraiser, the BPS Sports Derby Day, ensured that all children and their families enjoyed exhilarating and energising outdoor activity.Despite the moody weather, games of soccer, hockey and netball proceeded. To fill the hungry tummies hundreds of Boerewors Rolls, Bacon & Egg Rolls, Hot Dogs and delicious treats were consumed. To wrap up the day’s events parents were challenged to participate in a selection of matches.

BLUE SCHOOL TAKES ON THE METRO CENTRAL DISTRICT SPELLING BEE 2015On Saturday, 30th May 2015, the Metro Central District Spelling Bee took place at Rosebank Junior School in Rondebosch. There were 42 learners from different schools within the district that participated. Three of these learners represented The Pinelands Primary (Blue School). Their names are Aidan Truter (Gr. 4), Aaliah Heilbron (Gr. 5) and Jesse Leonard (Gr.6).

“We were all nervous, but very excited. We had to learn more than 1000 words as they could ask you to spell any word from a given list.” – Aaliah Heilbron

There were 3 elimination rounds. The learners were given over 1000 words to study and in these 3 rounds they were asked one of those words per round. If the word was spelt incorrectly in these 3 rounds they were eliminated from the competition. However, all 3 of our learners made it through the first 2 intense rounds with 22 learners from other schools being eliminated. Aidan was eliminated in the 3rd round as he missed one letter in the word “archaeologist”. He therefore ended in the top 20 in the district.

From the fourth round, the learners were taken to a room and called to the stage one by one and all given the same word. Once again, failure to spell the word correctly meant that you would be eliminated. Both Jesse and Aaliah made it through a number of difficult words, with other participants falling out quickly. They were down to the final 4

learners out of 42 that started off the competition. 2 learners from The Blue School and 2 from Greenfields Primary School remained.

The competition required 3 champions to go through to the next round and represent the district. They carried on with sudden death rounds and Aaliah eventually made a mistake by leaving a letter

out of her word which caused for her to be eliminated. Jesse was therefore crowned the Spelling Bee champion together with the two girls from Greenfields Primary School. Aaliah is a reserve for the district in the next round.

We wish Jesse the best of luck for the next round. Well done to all the learners who tried out for the spelling team and once again, congratulations Jesse, Aaliah and Aidan on your achievements and representing the Blue School at the Metro Central District Spelling Bee 2015.

The Grove recently celebrated turning 130 years old. The celebrations included a special assembly with learners

wearing their house colours to school and singing Happy Birthday in different languages. The Grove families also

enjoyed a sociable, relaxed Founders’ Day lunch with Grove musicians show casing their talents.

The Grove Turns 130!The Under 13A netball girls played in the Pinelands North Netball Festival. They played against Surrey Primary in the Semi-finals and beat them 7 – 1, which landed them in the finals against Pinelands Primary, the team that had beaten them in the round

robin section. The score was 5 – 5 at full time and we then played 6 minutes extra time. We managed to score one more goal and ended up winning 6 -5. Well done to all the girls on playing extremely well, never giving up and showing great sportsmanship.
