100 Club Winners

The February 100 Club Draw took place on Friday evening and Ms Mace and her friends provided some excellent entertainment.

We look forward to the 2010 Prefect Body using this initiative to raise funds for the GAMES programme for 2010.

Well done again to Mrs Barnes and her team.

Glenwood 1st Tennis Team win.

The Glenwood 1st Tennis Team played Kearsney up at Kearsney again today. The singles matches were concluded by the early afternoon despite the rain that threatened to end the exciting matches.

Kearsney has dominated KZN Schools' Tennis for a number of years now and so the young Glenwood Team was looking forward to pitting their strength against some of the strongest players in KZN.

Glenwood Number 1 and SA U16 Number 1, R Myburgh, led from the front and won his match 3-0. In the end the Glenwood 1st Team won the fixture 5-1. This is an excellent achievement and the boys, coaches, Staff and Parents can feel proud of their results.

Well done.

Glenwood Chess Tournament

Nearly 300 avid chess players from all over KZN decended on Glenwood for the annual Glenwood Tournament. Well done to the organisers for an excellent tournament. Results will be advertised in due course.

1st XI Cricket vs College

The Glenwood 1st XI struggled to post a decent total after being sent into bat by the visitors. Trying to defend a low score was never going to be possible with the strength of the College line-up on a roll. Only rain would have saved the day for the Glenwood 1st XI and the College batsmen responded accordingly in the last 2 overs and won the game by 9 wickets.

The Glenwood players will pick themselves up for their 20/20 game on Wednesday.

Cycling Report

Liam Mooney won the individual cycling time trial and received a gold medal in the KZN Road Cycling Champs 2010.

The Mr Price Cycling Club hosted the KZN Champs at Eston this year.

Liam Mooney was awarded the 3rd place at the Wartburg MTB Classic the weekend after KZN Champs.  He achieved a 3rd place even though he ran the last 3km carrying his bike because it had punctures in both wheels.

Daily Routine

Standardised Assessment Programme for final week of Term 1 (2010)

The Standardised Assessment Programme is taken very seriously and is run under the same conditions as Control Tests/Examinations. This means that pupils will require a Doctor’s Certificate if sick on a particular day. If this is not submitted, the pupil will get zero for the Assessment/s missed. The marks obtained for the Assessments will be included in the CASS mark component for Term 2 and it is thus important for pupils to perform well in all Tasks set.

All pupils are required to participate in the Cross Country event (unless medically exempt) and pupils will be given a mark for this which will be added to the LO mark which appears on their Report and is included in Aggregate. Normal PE kit is expected to be worn. All boys will receive marks according to their levels of performance.

Your attention is also drawn to the fact that NORMAL teaching will continue in all lessons apart from Period 3.

Timetable

Daily routine – Tuesday 23^rd March to Thursday 26^th March

Routine – Friday 26^th March

NOTES FOR STAFF

v     The tests/assessments will be written in Registration Classes during Period 3 (1 hour in duration to allow 5 minutes for handing out papers and 5 minutes to collect scripts) Normal teaching will continue in Periods 1; 2; 4; 5 and 6.

v     The assessments used must be 50 minutes in duration (pupils need to be kept busy for the entire 50 minutes so assessments should be set accordingly).

v     Tests/Assessments must be given to Subject Heads once they have been bundled and the Subject Head will be responsible for ensuring that the tests are taken to the Staff Room on the relevant day.

Please contact Mrs De Pace at School with any queries about this programme. Form Heads are also aware of the programme.

Daily Bulletin for week ending Sunday 7 March 2010

DAILY BULLETIN FOR WEEK ENDING SUNDAY 7 MARCH 2010     CYCLE 2

Durban & Districts A League Gala 2010.

The annual D&D A League Swimming Gala took place at Kings Park Pool last night. The Glenwood A and B Teams set goals for  themselves for the Gala and it was very pleasing to see how hard the swimmers and coaching Staff worked to attain the goals. The Glenwood A Team finished 5th and the Glenwood B Team finished 9th.

Special mention must be made of the support that the Glenwood Team enjoyed from the boys; they were very impressive.

Glenwood hosted the Gala this year and many compliments were received about the running of the meeting.

Well done to all involved in the Gala and 'swimming' was the winner on the night.
