Headmaster's Weekly Bulletin: 19 September 2008

WEEK TWO OF THIRD TERM 2008

Dear Parents


Week Two is over – a historic week in the life of our country and for all of us, a sign that the wheel is turning. We have had a meeting with Bulawayo parents, which was very successful, if not well attended.

HARARE PARENTS’ MEETING:
We have set the date for Friday 26 September, 3.00 for 3.30 p.m. at Old Georgians, for this meeting. This will coincide with you picking up your boys from the fixture free buses. I really would like as many people there as possible. These meetings are a Ministry requirement, so please give us a little of your time.

This week we honoured boys who have, over a long period, put time into First Aid. These boys have really excelled and served the College community and for this they received a special sweat top to wear around the College. The boys were: A. Macheka, J. Winwood and C. Bands.

PARENTS’ COMMITTEE FUND RAISER:


The Parents’ Committee in Bulawayo held a soiree at the River Café on Friday evening. This was a great success and was in the form of a cheese and wine. All the wine was donated by Dave Curtis, a former Head Boy of the College. We are very grateful to him for his generosity.
The septet sang and Billy St. John played his saxophone.

Hope you all have an enjoyable weekend.
