The U11 B hockey team played an exciting game against Summerwood.  Although they lost, there was a lot of laughter, fun and a sense of victory as the team knew they tried their best.  They really enjoyed themselves on and off the field.  Special mention must be made of Michaela Klassen from the senior second team who kindly umpired the game.  Mrs Stroebel is justifiably proud of her team!  Good effort, girls, keep it up.

Debating against Grey: Girl Power in Action

Our senior league debate team faced Grey High School on the proposition of "The paparazzi have a right to make a living". Mr Calitz (an Old Grey Boy) said, "For the second consecutive year Riebeek schooled Grey in exactly what girl power in debating is!" It is not only the speakers who carry a debate and therefore recognition must also be given to Sumeera Musa, Imkhita Mani and Yolanda Mni for their part in the team’s preparation. The team consisted of Micaela White, Jaydene Harris and Inge Laubsher.

Assembly Address for Freedom Day

Seize the Day

By Mrs M. Woods

022

 Ecclesiastes Chapter 9 verses 7 to 9:  “Seize life!   Eat bread with gusto, drink wine with a robust heart.   Oh yes – God takes pleasure in your pleasure!   Dress festively every morning.   Don’t skimp on colours or scarves.   Relish life with the spouse you love each and every day of your precarious life.   Each day is God’s gift.”

We talk about living life to the fullest.   We want to get up every morning filled with enough enthusiasm to give it our all.   We want to, but we more than often, don’t.

Why?   Most of us would say because we have to face reality.   We have to go to work, to school, raise little children and visit sick friends.   The idea of eating our bread with gusto doesn’t seem right then!

The teacher in Ecclesiastes had the same issues we have.   He too had to face the realities of life.   He had to keep trusting in God’s love, mercy and grace.   Yet, he survived all that and he reminds us that each day is God’s gift.   We can accept life’s challenges with a joyful heart because God is with us each day!

Thank you to all of you who are dressed up to celebrate Cultural Day, which is tomorrow, the 27 April.   Tomorrow is the 19th birthday of our freedom from apartheid and a celebration of the first ever election in 1994, where everyone over the age of 18 was allowed to vote, regardless of who they were, and be counted as equals.      It is a day of celebration for all South Africans.   On this day we remember that freedom and human rights are for all human beings regardless of race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or social status!   We celebrate our precious freedom and democracy and we also honour all the heroes and heroines of all different races, who made personal sacrifices in their fight for democracy.

We all need to live up to the aspirations of the liberation struggle where all the people of South Africa live in peace and friendship.   Individually, we each need to play our part, by living our lives in the correct way and embracing the values of our Constitution, and at Riebeek College, the values that we try so hard to uphold.   Our annual themes depict our sincerity in our striving to uphold a values-based school.   We have been trying to count our blessings every year now, and this year, the attitude of gratitude is the buzz word.

LET US PRAY:   A taste of Joy:  Lord, hep us to remember that You meant for us to enjoy life.  Bless us today and tomorrow while we celebrate our special Freedom Day in South Africa, and help us seize the day!

Teachers assembly 

Happy World Teachers’ Day. Here is a summary from Taryn Balie, deputy headgirl, of what the special Friday assembly covered in honour of the Riebeek teachers: 

Today we will take a few minutes to recognize and appreciate the tireless efforts of all the beautiful women and handsome gentlemen who make Riebeek tick.

Teaching is not a job for the faint-hearted. Not only are teachers expected to stand on their feet all day long or repeat themselves in terms of the important things they teach us, but they are also expected to be our mother or father away from home. They teach us valuable organisational and leadership skills within our various committees. They’re our personal trainers on the sports fields where they also teach us the importance of teamwork. Their job even entails being psychologists, which is rather challenging in a school filled with girls who have unpredictable mood swings. 

Thank you to our teachers for working tirelessly to help us be the best people that we can be and create the best future we can have.

To our teachers: From the bottom of our hearts, we appreciate you dearly! 

The assembly was lively as the hall was filled with laughter, loud cheers and music. Each teacher got a beautiful certificate and a rose. It felt good, from any learner’s perspective, to see your teachers receive the thanks and recognition they so rightfully deserved!

Congratulations
