Dear Parents
NEW STAFF MEMBERS
I am pleased to introduce three new staff members to you today.
Ms Jamie Southgate has been appointed as our new Sports Co-ordinator. She worked with Khwezi Mqomboti as an assistant in the Phys Ed department with the sports performance and wellness programme and her expertise was felt and appreciated very quickly.
She has a Sports Science degree as well as Honours in Performance Sport. She is an accomplished sportswoman herself, currently playing in the South African Indoor Hockey team.
Mrs Renate Swartz starts today in the front office. She has come to us from Westcott Primary where she has managed a front office and, for the last few years, worked as Personal Assistant to the Principal.
Mr Zweli Sodladla started with us as an intern at the start of term. He comes to us from Woodridge College where he has interned for the last year. He has experience working in a UK school and for three years coached senior rugby in Hungary, as well as representing Hungary in the Sevens Tournament. At present he is working in Grade 6.
We welcome them, looking forward to the contribution they will make, and hoping that they will find Bishops a happy and stimulating environment.
DURBANVILLE EXCHANGE
Last week’s exchange was a great success. Starting with a service in the Chapel, boys went on to play chess, tennis, hockey and rugby. And many also, from both schools, rushed around the campus participating in the Amazing Race, having to pick up clues and answer questions in various venues around the school.
Thank you to the Grade 6 and 7 parents who hosted Durbanville Primary boys – it was wonderful to hear how you enjoyed their politeness and friendliness – they were also very complimentary of the hosting and how welcome they were made to feel. Our boys even tried some Afrikaans.
This the first time we have managed this exchange on this scale since before Covid. It was a huge amount of work and I want to thank the staff for this.
Kind regards
GREG BROWN
