FROM THE HEAD ’S DESK

DEAR PARENTS

H erewith another newslet-ter to keep you up to date

with school activities. We are de-lighted that the term is progress-ing well. Pupils are really enthusi-astic and showing the love of learning. The entire staff is giving of its best. We wish Mrs Bent who was hospitalised last week a speedy recovery. As ever our parents are our real models. It is said that children need models more than critics. We

welcome and enjoy your involve-ment in all aspects of the school life. Your participation in the “Operation clean up” to be held at Hillcrest Prep School on Saturday 30 May would make a difference. Read more about this and many more in this newslet-ter. Sincerely, Josh Mutangadura

Winter Outlook

I t makes us proud when pupils turn out in their number one uniform, they cer-

tainly look the part. Keep up the good work parents and ensure the desired standards are maintained.

The term has started on a high note and everyone is engrossed in their tasks, be it in class or on the field. We have had lovely educative assembly with themes from the Grade 7. These have prepared us for the cold busy term.

Curriculum issues

We await guidance from the Ministry of Pri-mary and Secondary Education concerning several issues covered by the press. Commu-nication will be made accordingly.

Operation Clean-Up

The choice of a specific area for your clean up is yours. Remember to bring manpower to join in

the fun (uncles, aunts, maids, grannies, etc) equipment and materials (slashers, saws, cleaning materials for win-dows and floors, etc) for use would come in handy too!

Open day

The event was a promising success judging by the num-bers and multicultural nature of the prospective parents

and pupils who made it on the day. Grade 1 2016 interviews will be on 29, 30 June and 1 July 2015. Kindly let others know that registra-tion is now open . Application forms should be in by Thursday 18 July 2015 as places are lim-ited.

Hockey 1st

Team boys by M. Chikumbu

O n Friday 15th of

May. The first

team boys played in

the annual Hillcrest

Rugby and Hockey

Festival.

On arrival of our oppo-

nents our first match was versus Hippo

Valley and our second match was versus

Murray Mac. It was our first time playing

as a team this season but our progress

has been quite satisfactory.

The results were as follows:

Hillcrest 0 Hippo valley 4

Hillcrest 1 Murray Mac 2

I would like to say to the boy’s good luck

in this season and special mention goes

to Takomborerwa Mtisi who played very

well.

The team would like to thank Mr. Chipu-

muro our coach, Mr Mutangadura our

headmaster for arranging this fixture and

God all mighty for the good weather and

preventing injuries.

SOME SPORTS REPORTS FROM TEAM CAPTAINS

Page 3

1st X1 Girls Hockey

T he 1st XI girls started off the day slowly

drawing to Mvurachena and Mile-

stone but once they got going, they were

nearly unstoppable. Beating Hippo Valley

and Murray Mac was a good confidence

boost for the girls and they finally hit their

straps against Chancellor where they

hardly left the ‘D’. Special mention

must go to Ruvimbo Matanga who

defended her goal like a trojan in

her first matches as the 1st Team

goalie. I look forward to seeing bet-

ter hockey in the weeks to come.

Results at a glance

W e are very grateful to those parents who contributed to-

wards our hosting of the Annual Rug-by and Hockey Festival. The billeting was superb and the parental support got off to a great start. We are proud of you our parents and sincerely hope you continue to support us in the upcoming fixtures.
