Interhouse Football – with a difference

Next Thursday 1st June, will be inter-house football, the format will be a penalty shootout. There will be 4 separate competitions:

 
Grade 6-8 Girls
Grade 6-8 Boys
Grade 9-12 Girls
Grade 9-12 Boys
 
Each house will take 10 penalties. There is no maximum team size but no individual student can take more than 3 penalties.
 
If you would like to take part then speak to your house captains to sign up.
 
We are also in need of a few goalkeepers. If you would like to be one, speak to Mr. Hornell.

PYPX Today!

It was a wonderful and inspiring evening last night to listen to the G5 students share their learnings with their parents under the concept of “It’s not fair!” Come today to learn about poverty, gender issues, refugees, child labour, racism, bullying and animal welfare. If you haven’t signed up yet, find an empty spot and come along. You are always welcome!

Accidental Theatre Company proudly presents…

After three immensely popular and hugely successful productions, Accidental Theatre is back! This year’s treat is the hilarious Oscar Wilde comedy The Importance of Being Earnest. Set over three acts, the tale follows two bachelors who create alter egos to escape their tiresome lives. The pair struggle to keep up with their own stories and become entangled in disguise, deception and misadventure!

This play is suitable for Grade 6 and above. Running time a little over 2 hours.

Tickets available from reception. Limited seating. Get them while you can!

Dear Colleagues,

As you know, Andrei and I were away on professional leave last week.  One of the schools we visited was Harare International School, where I have been offered the position of Director as of August 2018.  I am pleased to say that I have accepted.

Kind regards,
