Holiday term 1- 2012

So, First term has come and gone. Its been different,its been weird, its been nice.

Last Friday our rugby team went to play in a tournament in Grahamstown. We played 4 matches in two days. The first against Greame College we drew 10-10. The next against St Andrews College we won 15- 0. The next morning our boys were to play our arch enemies and neighboring school Stulting. We won that match 35-0.OUr last match for the weekend was against Hangklip, which we won 55-0.

So this past weekend we took part in another rugby week. Some of the best primary schools in South Africa played, schools like Eikestad,Florida,Paarl Gimnasium, Paarl Boys, Gene Louw etc.

We played three matches. We lost our first against Hugo Rus from Wellington 12-10, and also our second agains Riebeekstrand from Cape Town 22-12. Atleast our last match went better and we won 7-3.

Lots was learnt, and it was nice to meet so many people that all love the same thing-Rugby

The new life

So three months down this road, one term at school nearly done. Been a really busy 1st term, but been loving it! No more unbearably naughty,disrespectful learners who was busy eating my life away. No more coming home in a bad mood.

Indeed it wont be easy adjusting from teaching high school to primary, but I'm sure I can adjust within no time. Lots to learn, lots of late nights marking books, but I'd take it threefold instead.

I still spare a thought(and a prayer) to my old colleagues who day after day fight to good old fight, trying to make a change in those who so drastically need it. I admit that I could not do it any longer. All respect go out to you guys!
