Soccer World Cup 2010 - Schools' Tournament

The Swiss ambassador, Mr Rudolph Baerfuss, visited Glenwood last week to establish ties with Glenwood, as our school was drawn to represent the Swiss side for the Mini World Cup.

Mr  Baersulls presented us with a brochure which contained information about our twin country. We had done a little research before he arrived and were able to put up a display in the library to show the boys that there is more to Switzerland than good chocolate! Switzerland is synonymous with quality and precision and some of the finest equipment is manufactured in this small, land-locked country which is bordered by Italy, Germany and France. Bicycle parts, orthopedic equipment, pharmaceuticals, computer parts and watches are just some of the exports the world has come to trust when the stamp ‘Swiss made’ is embossed on the product

Glenwood is proud to be associated with Switzerland and we look forward to representing them at the tournament when our school team takes part in the Mini World Cup later this month wearing the official Swiss kit sponsored by Puma. We will, of course, be supporting Switzerland when they take on Spain at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in June.
