Preparatory Highlights
Sock and Shoe Charity DriveThe Grade 3’s have been collecting shoes and socks
for Riversands Primary in Diepsloot as their Outreach
project this year. On Friday 7 May there was much
excitement in the Grade 3 classrooms as we sorted
through all the wonderful donations. We then had great
fun placing them along the pathways from the Junior Prep
block towards the Riverview Field. We collected
approximately 700 shoes and reached almost to the
Pre-Prep gateway. We also collected 3 large bags of
socks which have yet to be counted. The Grade 3’s thank
you so much for all your generous donations which will
help many feet to be warm this winter.
Prep Prestige Gala – 13 March 2009
On Friday, 12 March 2010, the HeronBridge A Swimming
Team took part in the A League Prestige Gala. As winners
of Prestige Gala last year, the swimmers had a title to
defend. This was a big challenge this year as many other
teams looked particularly strong.
Dainfern
College hosted eight other schools, namely Crawford
Sandton, Redhill, Grayston Prep, St Dunstans, Marian
College, Beaulieu Prep, Kyalami Prep and HeronBridge
College.
The HeronBridge team
stepped up to the challenge and swam with spirit and
gusto. Many children set personal best swimming times
for their respective strokes. By the end of the day, the
swimmers were awarded the trophy for both the boys and
girls competition.
The HeronBridge swimming team
retained their title of Prestige Champions and won the
gala with a total of 423 points. Dainfern College was
placed second with 397 points and Redhill was in third
place with 307 points.
Many thanks must go to
Caren Kurzewski, a truly dedicated swimming coach, the
teachers for their time and efforts with the swimmers,
and the parents who have been so supportive. Lastly, a
big thank you must go to the swimmers for their spirit,
enthusiasm and commitment. Well done to each and every
one of you!
