At the heart of riebeek

At Riebeek College, 724 girls are nurtured and loved as they embrace life and learning. From Grade 4 to 12, girls are groomed to spread their wings. For the Riebeek staff it is a privilege to be part of this nine year process in which the girls take to heart the caring ethos of the school and the annual themes. This year’s theme is #TEK and embodies the characteristics of a virtuous mind: tolerance, energy and knowledge. The principal, Mrs Marilyn Woods, retires at the end of 2016 and will leave a legacy of care, energy, moral rectitude and tolerance as she has put her heart and soul into the school. Mama Woods, as she is known to many, has amassed a mighty 56 years at Riebeek as school girl, teacher, head of department, head of the Junior School, Deputy Head and, from 2007, principal extraordinaire. When Professor Jansen, Vice Chancellor of the University of the Orange Free State, listed Riebeek as one of his top ten South African schools in combining character building and academic excellence, it was due recognition of a nurturing school. Riebeek College is celebrated for its resilience and compassion, the loyalty and success of Old Girls, its consistently strong academic results, its modest school fees and for its extraordinary programme and heart.   Nelson Mandela said, “A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.”  Riebeek College is a formidable school with strong leadership and a lot of heart.

Grade 4 welcome

Siviwe Tole, Head Girl 2016, reports on the Grade 4 welcome: Having over 70 enthusiastic, lovely and energetic grade 4s was a fun experience as the Senior Prefects held a Grade 4 welcome . The purpose was to make the learners feel part of the Riebeek culture and it was truly accomplished. A game 'find the leader' was played in which all the young ladies seemed to enjoy. They had to find certain leaders and learn a rule of the school in order to move to the next station. They truly learnt a lot in an exciting way. In the end lovely treats were eaten which brought bigger smiles on their faces. We would like to thank Mrs Woods, Mrs Snyman, Mrs Skeats and Mrs Viljoen as their involvement could not go unnoticed.

congratulations, megan

Megan MacGorman is a member of the Voortrekkers, an Afrikaans version of Scouts. She attended the yearly Voortrekker camp at Boknes and was the only English speaking girl in the group of 4 girls and six Grade 9 boys. They spent their day learning how to survive in a beach environment. They built shelters, learnt how to find fresh water, make fire and collect food. They witnessed the grade 11s catching and killing an octopus. Megan achieved her Strandvirnif badges.

Gideons' bibles

Riebeek was visited by Mr Gryling, Mr Slabert and Mr Strydom from the Gideons' Bibles team. The girls were asked: "When is the best time to accept the Lord as your saviour?" The answer was NOW. Their message to have a saving knowledge as that is the most important thing. Riebeek thanks them for addressing the seniors and for donating bibles to the Grade 8s.
