15 January 2016 FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL’S DESK Dear Parents and Girls Welcome back to another busy and exciting school year. I trust that all our families had a blessed festive season and that we are all well rested and ready to take on the opportunities and challenges that 2016 will bring. A very special welcome to our new staff and our new girls, especially our Grade Rs and Grade 8s who start new chapters in their educational journey. We hope that you will soon feel part of the Holy Rosary family. For Holy Rosary, 2015 was a year of change. Mrs Gray, Mrs Damhuis and I have settled into our new roles and I thank the Holy Rosary community for the wonderful support that we have received. I look forward to this year with great excitement as we continue to work together, with God’s guidance, to take our school to even greater heights. I would like to congratulate the matrics of 2015. Once again we had a 100% pass rate, but we are especially delighted with our 100% Bachelor Degree passes. What an achievement! A special ‘well done’ to our Top Achievers: Amy Hammann (7 distinctions); Theané Dietrich, Caitlyn Callanan and Taylor Rattray (6 distinctions); Abigail Park and Christine Thurgood (5 distinctions) and Shaan Forster, Kelsey Korras and Lauren Soll (4 distinctions). We are enormously proud of each and every girl, they worked hard and we are confident that they will do well in their future endeavours. Congratulations to all their teachers, from Nursery School right up to Grade 12. You have all played a vital role in their lives and their excellent results are a credit to you. A special ‘thank you’ to the matric teachers who shouldered the final responsibility of ensuring that each girl achieved her full potential. I wish you all a peaceful 2016 filled with God’s richest blessings. Mrs J Lucas Head of School FROM THE PRIMARY SCHOOL Happy New Year to one and all. It is a pleasure and a privilege to welcome you back to Holy Rosary School for 2016. This first week has begun with much excitement. The classrooms are buzzing with activity as our girls settle into their new classes. We look forward to a productive 2016. Congratulations to the matrics of 2015, as well as the parents and the teachers who have helped them along the way. The many distinctions are a testament to the amount of hard work that everyone has put in. It is rare for 100% of the students to achieve Bachelor Degree passes and we are so proud of all of you. It is a tradition to hold our Primary School concert every second year, and this year our creative team is planning furiously. We will keep you posted as to the themes which will be part of our production. The concert dates have been set for the 28 and 29 of June and rehearsals will begin in earnest during the second term. I would like to share some advice from the Sunday Times written by Judith Ancer, a Johannesburg based psychologist. Ten Gifts worth giving your child. (not one of them can be bought) 1. The gift of optimism. Hope keeps us positive. 2. The gift of compassion. 3. The gift of courage. 4. The gift of humour. Humour is a sign of emotional intelligence. Not to take yourself too seriously. 5. The gift of community and connectedness to our families, friends and communities. 6. The gift of competence. Children who learn to do chores become ‘children who can and who know they can’. 7. The gift of conviction. Finding meaning in faith, other people and the future. 8. The gift of curiosity. 9. The gift of creativity. This is not so much about being artistic but seeing old things in new ways. To experiment with ideas and to learn to make a mistake. 10. Finally, the gift of perspective and common sense. To make do and tolerate imperfection. Tell yourself that sometimes it’s okay to be a good enough parent with a good enough child. Recognise that ordinary everyday things are acts of pleasure. These are gifts that will be carried with your children wherever they go, as part of themselves, to be passed on to others, gifts to be shared with the world. May 2016 be a year of growth and developing your gifts and talents and of having a chance to share them with the world. Mrs H Gray Principal RELIGIOUS NEWS We usually enter the New Year with a sense of anticipation and apprehension. We welcome the prospects of making New Year’s resolutions and the opportunity of re-inventing ourselves, in the areas in which we would like to grow. We may, however, also feel unsure of the challenges which may present themselves and our ability to cope with circumstances. Our girls are not immune to these conflicting emotions. Next Wednesday, the whole school will celebrate the Academic Mass to ask for God’s blessings on their families, work, extra-curricular activities and friendships. We are so privileged to begin our school year with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass where we shall have the opportunity to offer God our praise, thanksgiving and petitions, as we enter a new academic year. This reflection encapsulates the teachers’ hopes and prayers for all of the precious children who are in our care at Holy Rosary. Dear Lord, what will this year bring? We do not know. It will bring its usual times of work and play, experiences of success and failure, all the components which are part of school life. It is a new beginning; the planting of a seed which will grow for a year, the seed of fruit which will blossom in times to come. It is a source of new hope; hope for good work, understanding and successful results. In this coming year, may there be an abundance of prayer, learning and fun. May there be faith, hard work and friendship. May no student in this school be lonely; may no one feel left out or excluded; may no one suffer through the thoughtlessness of others. As we begin this year in prayer and friendship, we ask the Lord to begin it with us, to be with us during it and to successfully bring it to its conclusion. Amen. May peace, love and joy accompany each member of our Holy Rosary family throughout 2016. Mrs M Fitzpatrick HOD: Religious Education PRAYERS Please remember all those in our Holy Rosary family who are in need, or who are suffering in any way. Our condolences go to Mrs Birley and family whose ex-sister-in-law passed away. CONGRATULATIONS To Mrs Warder on the birth of her first Granddaughter, Paige. May she bring you much happiness and joy. To Mrs Batchelor on the marriage of her daughter Tracey to Darren Alexander. May God bless them with love and happiness. INFORMATION EVENINGS Holy Rosary parents are always supportive and eager to assist their girls in every way possible. These evenings are extremely well attended. This is your first and most important opportunity to hear how best to acclimatise your girls with the routines and expectations of their new grade. Each evening will begin with a motivational speaker who will address parents in the hall. This will be followed by an extremely informative talk by the class/grade teachers which will assist you enormously in ensuring a happy year in your daughter’s new grade. Foundation Phase Information Evening: 19 January 2016 17:30 (School Hall) Guest Speaker: Colleen Johnson (Counselling and Educational Psychologist) She will be focusing on encouraging parents to develop a constructive and consistent parenting foundation that will enable their children to feel safe and secure enough to venture forth on their own, trusting in their ability to behave independently and to make good choices for their lives. Intersen Phase Information Evening: 26 January 2016 17:30 (School Hall) Guest Speaker: Debbie de Jong (Learning Support Specialist, Educator and Co-author of the book ‘The Manual that Never Came with Your Child’. She will talk about Bouncing back: How to raise resilient children. Resilience means the ability to cope with the knocks that life sends to all of us. It is a necessary life skill that enables us to manage adversity without becoming overanxious, stressed or depressed. Resilience does not remove distress or difficulties, rather it helps us get through these difficulties using healthy coping mechanisms. She will share practical resilience-building strategies that will help parents teach their children how to ‘Bounce Back’ We look forward to meeting you all and sharing a productive evening. We regret that this evening will be too long for children to sit in and listen. There will be no facilities or care givers available to look after children at school so we request that you make special arrangements for your children to be cared for at home on these evenings.
