Headmaster's newletter, third term, week eight

 

I hope that you had a good weekend with your sons. I would like to thank all the people who wrote to me about Speech Day and the opening of the Computer Centre. The day went off well and my special thanks to all that made it happen. There are photographs posted on our web site from that occasion.

Our boys have been busy over the weekend - the U16 cricket team without our national trialists, played in a tournament at John Mackenzie in Botswana which they won.


Several boys have been selected from the national cricket trials to represent Zimbabwe.

U14  M Dodington
U16  T Ganyani
U18  J Chitate
T Enwerem
G Mamhiyo
C Van Rensburg


I congratulate them all - it is a great honour.
