HEADMASTER’S REPORT

As I reflect on 2025, I am filled with a sense of pride of what the Wynberg Boys’ Junior School community has achieved together. This year has been one of growth, excellence, and meaningful progress across every dimension of school life.

Our commitment to academic excellence remains our main priority. We continue to innovate through dynamic teaching methods and the expansion of our programmes, with focused planning already underway for 2026. What distinguishes our approach, is our recognition that each boy is unique, with his own learning style and journey. We celebrate not just competitive achievements, but the remarkable growth each boy demonstrates from the start of the year to the end. Every boy who stands before us today, is far more capable than when he began and that is true success.

On the sports field, Wynberg has maintained its proud tradition of excellence. Our rugby teams enjoyed victories against all our traditional rivals and delivered outstanding performances at the DPHS Rugby Festival. Hockey continues to flourish across all age groups, and with the imminent upgrading of our Campus Astro facilities, we are positioning ourselves to provide the very best for our boys.

A particular highlight was co-hosting our Water Polo Festival with Wynberg Girls’ Junior, bringing together more than 560 participants. This remains the only event of its kind where U11 and U12 boys and girls compete together over two days, a testament to our commitment to inclusive sport.

Our cricket season was equally positive, with the highlight being our attendance at Cape Schools Cricket Week, hosted by Dale Boys’ in Qonce. It

was a remarkable experience for our boys and the spectators who travelled to the Eastern Cape to support them.

Our broader sport programme continues to offer opportunities appropriate to each boy’s development, ensuring that every child finds his place and passion.

Culturally, our music programme shines brighter than ever. Dr Grant Snyman joined us as our new Head of Music and has fitted seamlessly into our community, continuing to grow our programme with his expert approach. Our bands, choirs, and ensembles. They inspire us with performances of the highest quality I have seen at this age level. The talent and dedication of our boys and staff in the cultural sphere are truly exceptional.

Our service pillar continues to create meaningful opportunities for boys to assist schools and organisations through outreach and fundraising. Throughout the year, our boys have demonstrated remarkable empathy and commitment to others, embodying the values of compassion and responsibility that at the heart of Wynberg lies.

Community is not just a value we speak about it is something we live daily. We celebrate not only our own successes but the achievements of others. This spirit was never more evident than in the support our community rallied around the Watson family following the passing of Mrs Gail Watson, our Grade 1 teacher, earlier this year after her battle with cancer. The family has expressed how they could not have managed without this community’s support, and it stands as a powerful reminder of who we are.

To our parents, thank you for entrusting us with your sons’ education and for the support you provide as they navigate their junior school years. Central to our relationship is your son; without them, we would never have encountered each other. You play a pivotal role in the success of our boys, and your partnership with us is invaluable.

To our incredible staff, both teaching and support. I would like to speak directly with you. Teaching has always been a calling, but we know the reality you face daily. The workload extends far beyond the classroom: lesson planning, assessments, moderation, extramural activities, disciplinary interventions, parent meetings, and administrative duties that often keep you working long after the school day ends.

We recognise that classrooms are increasingly complex, with diverse learning needs requiring ever more from you. We see the emotional investment you make, the discipline challenges you navigate with professionalism, and the passion that keeps you coming back despite the pressures. Your influence goes far beyond the curriculum you teach. While our boys may not recall every lesson, they will remember how you guided them, believed in them, and inspired them. I have an amazing team and an extremely talented group of teachers.

In a profession where educators across our country are walking away in alarming numbers, your dedication here at Wynberg is not taken for granted. Your kindness and caring nature, is the reason we have seen our boys blossom into the young men they have become. You are the backbone of everything we achieve.

I also extend my gratitude to our SGB and Senior Management Team, whose vision ensures Wynberg remains an institution of excellence. Our governance structures are solid, enabling us to drive forward our vision and enhance many aspects of school life.

As we approach the end of the school year, we bid farewell to valued staff members moving on to new chapters: Mrs McGibbon, who has been with us for eight years as our Art Teacher; Mr Isaacs, after eight years of dedicated service, Ms Lamb, our Admissions Secretary and Headmaster’s PA, who has reached retirement, and Ms Alicia Sauls will also leave us after 28 years spanning 3 headmasters tenures. We deeply appreciate all their contributions and wish them every success in their future endeavours.

Our learnerships are also moving forward: Aqeela Mohammed, Chiara Baatjes, Kendra Rhode, and Maya Du Plessis. We wish them well in their teaching careers. This programme at WBJS continues to produce qualified teachers exposed to all aspects of the profession during their time with us. We are very proud of all of you. We also hosted young people as part of our BEEI initiatives this year, and we thank all teaching assistants for their time with us.

Boys, you are the reason this school exists, and we as adults do what we do. Our school values speak of the pursuit of excellence. We want to do the best we possibly can for you because you deserve the best.

Your achievements, both inside and outside the classroom, speak volumes about your character and potential.

To our Grade 7s who are leaving us: you came to us as six-year-olds, and look how you’ve grown not only physically, but in all respects. Each of you deserves to be recognised for all the strengths and talents you possess, and for the contributions you have made to our school and community. You know what you are good at, so do it! Really challenge yourself in these areas. Push yourselves and encourage each other in your areas of strength.

When you push yourself, you will go outside your comfort zone and take risks. You will make mistakes. Remember: mistakes are made because you are pushing yourself, and this is a great thing. This is how we learn and move forward in life.

Success isn’t about being rich or famous; it’s about having a passion, following it, and living a wonderful life. Success is fulfilment and happiness, being surrounded by family and friends, being part of a community like this one, and feeling satisfied with your choices but more importantly, with how you serve others.

As you transition into high school, remember these lessons: learn from correction and criticism; develop your own internal compass; make time for face time, not just digital engagement; find your passion; listen; always be kind; and show gratitude.

Relationships matter. The friendships you have established at school, you need to cherish. You owe love and kindness to those who have shown you the same; gratitude to those who supported you; apologies to those you have offended; respect to those you may have disrespected; and acknowledgement to those who have mentored you. Wherever you find yourself, even if you’re not friends now, you will be bound by the fact that at one stage of your life, you were all Wynberg boys.

What has been instilled in you at Wynberg will remain part of your being for the rest of your life. The values upon which our success depends are manners, friendliness, pride, aiming high, and Supera Moras. These values are forever.

As we bring the curtain down on another year, we know we are about to embark on our 185th anniversary in 2026, with all our regular events having a 185 flavour. We will host Grey and Cape Schools Cricket Week, to name a few. I believe we can set ourselves up for a successful 2026 by doing the following:

Rest – This year has been busy and relentless. Our boys are tired, our teachers are tired, but still keen for some festivity and fun. Everyone is ready for a break –the opportunity to recharge our batteries doing things we love that invigorate us, spending time with people who inspire us.

Reflect – The practice of reflection is often lost in the pace of our lives. Current global and local political events are cause for alarm and concern. It’s time for us to take a moment and reflect. Have we allowed ourselves to be teachable so that we don’t continue making the same mistakes?

Recalibrate – It is important that before we get swept into 2026, we are clear on our direction. What is our true North? As an institution and as the individuals who make up this whole, are we being efficient? Are we able to move forward knowing in what direction we are going?

There will be a quickening of the pace, but we need to be steady and measured in our approach. Planning is key. We are going to require everyone to bring their A game to make a success of the year.

Wynberg Boys’ Junior remains an exceptionally wellrun school that is not afraid to embrace the changes ahead as we evolve to better serve our community.

Mr Cedric Poleman Headmaster

IN THE STAFFROOM

WBJS is fortunate to have staff who are more than just educators; they’re passionate individuals with talents and lives that shine well beyond the classroom. This year, we’ve been inspired by the incredible achievements of staff who continue to lead by example, showing our boys what it means to pursue excellence in all areas of life. We’ve also celebrated with each other, milestone birthdays and new additions to our Wynberg family.

Growing the Wynberg Family

There is no greater joy than welcoming new life into the world and this year, our Wynberg family has been gifted with the most heartwarming of new beginnings. With immense love and delight, we celebrate the arrival of three beautiful baby boys, born to three of our cherished teachers: Mrs K Bladen, Mrs M Essop, and Mrs K Kellerman.

These little boys are more than just precious new additions; they are the future of our Wynberg story. One day, we hope to welcome them through the gates of WBJS, where they will walk the same pathways as their inspiring mothers, learn under the same guiding values, and grow into young boys surrounded by the care, kindness, and community that defines our school. Though their journeys are just beginning, they have already brought immeasurable joy and are held in the hearts of many. What a blessing it is to watch our family grow in such a meaningful, beautiful way.

This season of joy doesn’t stop there. Our Wynberg family continues to flourish, not just in numbers, but in love, in connection, and in unforgettable shared moments. This year has brought with it incredible milestones, each one a reminder of the deep bonds that tie us all together. We’re thrilled to celebrate the engagements of Mr J McMahon and Miss N Grobler.

We celebrated the marriages of Mrs S Arendse (previously Jephta), Mr Rousseau and Mr McMahon. Each union is a beautiful testament to love, to the quiet moments, the big celebrations, and the shared dreams that carry us forward together.

Celebrating Special Birthdays

Every decade is more than just a number; it’s a celebration of the journeys we’ve taken, the lessons we’ve learned, and the impact we’ve made on the people around us. This year, we’re thrilled to celebrate some incredible milestone birthdays and the amazing stories behind them. Turning 30, Mr R Tau, Mrs K Kellerman, Mrs M Essop, and Miss K Cloete are stepping into a time full of fresh ideas, bold choices, and exciting growth. At 40, Mrs A Moore, Mr M Scholtz, Mr A Byrne and Mrs A Said show us what it means to be grounded yet ambitious, experienced but still evolving, a reminder that life does not slow down. Hitting 50, Mr C Liddell and Mrs O Woodman show that wisdom and purpose deepen with time and that true value comes from living life to the fullest. And at 60, Mr G Rhode and Mrs L Daniels inspire us all with their strength, grace, and steady presence, proving that the journey of becoming never really ends. There’s always more to give, more to learn, and more to enjoy. Thank you all for bringing your light, your stories, and your hearts to everything you do. We are so blessed to celebrate these milestones with them and can’t wait to see what’s next!

Celebrations Outside the Classroom

On the roads and trails, they’ve gone the distance, literally! Miss S Mackenzie, Mrs T Sims, Mrs C Korck, and Mrs W Fourie completed the iconic Two Oceans

Half Marathon. Mrs T Sims celebrated a personal milestone by completing her first-ever full marathon at the Blouberg Marathon. Miss H Woodhead completed her first Gun Run Half Marathon, joined by Miss S Mackenzie and Mrs T Sims, who continued their streak with the Winelands Half Marathon. Mr T Steward took on the challenging Chapman’s Peak Half, and Mr J McMahon conquered the Knysna Half Marathon.

Mr J McMahon’s journey didn’t stop at the finish line, he also had the privilege of travelling through Uganda, training church leaders in both bustling cities and remote rural communities. From well-equipped buildings in Kampala to humble huts in remote villages, he helped empower others through service, connection, and faith, a truly unforgettable mission.

Meanwhile, on the cricket pitch, Miss D Hoffman continues to make us proud as Daisies U19 Girls Head Coach and Boland u16 and u19 selector, as well as Assistant Coach for the Boland U19 Girls team. As a player for the Boland Women’s team, her talent shone through as she was named Women’s Cricketer of the Year and T20 Player of the Year (2024/2025). Not to be outdone, Mrs K James represented WP Masters Hockey at the prestigious IPT in Gqeberha, proving that excellence knows no limit.

These achievements are a powerful reflection of the passion, dedication, and talent that our teachers bring to everything they do. They are role models not only in the classroom, but in life, showing our boys that hard work, heart, and courage lead to greatness. They make WBJS more and more diverse and incredibly proud.

Welcome to New Staff

At the beginning of the year, several new staff members joined our team across various grades and roles. Mrs S Petersen was appointed to Grade R, while both Miss S Mackenzie and Mrs A Moore joined in Grade 1. Miss H Pohl joined the Grade 2 team, and we were pleased to welcome four learnerships: Miss C Baatjes, Miss K Bouwer, Miss N Grobler and Miss C Redding.

During the course of the year, we were pleased to welcome several new members of staff who joined us at different times. Mr D Otieno joined the Grade 3 team, while Mr M Rösemann took up a position in Grade 6. Mr A Byrne was appointed as a Technology, IT & Digital Innovation teacher, and Mr M James became part of the Sports Department. We also welcomed Mr C Claassen as an IT Assistant and Dr G Snyman as Head of Music.

Staff in New Positions

There were a few staff movements during this year. Mr R Tau transitioned from the Sports Department to join the Grade 7 team. Miss H Pohl took on the role of Staff Development Coordinator. In addition, Mrs S Arendse was appointed as the LTSM Coordinator. Mrs M Fakir transitioned from teaching Grade 2 to take on a new role as the Foundation Phase Coding & Robotics Teacher this year. Mrs S Isaacs moved from Grade 3 teacher to Acting Foundation Phase Departmental Head, as well as Head of Grade R and RR. Mrs K James will be departing from her Grade 2 classroom at the end of this year to take on a new role as Learning Support Co-ordinator. We are so excited to see her passion for supporting our boys grow in this important area.

Throughout the year, we were grateful to have dedicated staff members step in to support maternity posts. Mrs E Harding assisted in Grade R for Mrs EJ Grant, while in Grade 3, both Mrs ML Townsend and Mrs N Winter provided support for Mrs M Essop and Mrs K Bladen. Later in the year, Mrs R Walker took on a Grade 4 class for Mrs K Kellerman.

Farewells

Throughout this year, we have bid farewell to several valued staff members who made meaningful contributions during their time with us. Earlier in the year, we said goodbye to Mrs N Tresham in Grade 3 and Mr K Leverzencie in Grade 7. In Grade 6, we said goodbye to Mr G Frans, and we expressed our sincere appreciation to Mr E Kierman for his dedicated service as Head of Music.

As we reach the end of the year, we said goodbye to more exceptional colleagues who have left a lasting impact in the classroom, on the sports field, and in the daily operations of our school. Mrs H Lamb, Mr Poleman’s PA, will be entering a well-deserved retirement, and we wish her every happiness in this next chapter. We also say goodbye to our creative and devoted teachers, Mrs M McGibbon and Mrs T Cruise, as they move on to new opportunities. Additionally, Mr R Isaacs, who began in our Sports Department before transitioning to a Grade 6 classroom, will also be moving forward to the next step in his professional journey.

A farewell that will be deeply felt by all staff is that of Ms A Sauls, who has served WBJS with dedication since 1997, an incredible 28 years of service. Although much of her work takes place behind the scenes, her efforts are at the heart of our everyday school life. From preparing food for functions to ensuring staff have something warm and comforting during break,

she has been a constant source of support. Thank you, Ms A Sauls, for 28 remarkable years.

We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to our BEEI staff, whose assistance across various grades has made a significant difference throughout the year. Their support has been truly appreciated.

Thank you for your service to WBJS

Tribute to Gail Watson

This year we sadly said goodbye to our dear colleague and friend, Gail Watson. To those who knew Gail, she was so much more than a colleague – she was a source of encouragement, laughter, and support.

Gail’s impact at school went well beyond her skill and dedication; she carried with her a spirit of kindness that touched everyone around her. She had the gift of making people feel seen and valued, no matter how busy the day became. Beyond the classroom walls, Gail was a true friend – someone who celebrated our joys and stood with us in difficult times.

We will remember her generosity of heart, her sense of humour, and the many moments of wisdom she shared. Though Gail is no longer with us, the legacy of warmth, compassion, and friendship she leaves behind will remain in each of us.

Rest peacefully, dear Gail. You are deeply missed and forever remembered.

STAFF DEVELOPMENT AT WBJS

Growth and New Beginnings

It has been a privilege to transition from attending staff development sessions led by Mrs N Tresham and her team to planning and leading them, with the support of Mr C Poleman and our growing team, who volunteer their time so generously. Their passion for teaching, commitment to our boys, and dedication to being lifelong learners has been both inspiring and energising.

One of the highlights of the year has been our 2nd-Chance sessions, led by Jarryd Smith. Once a term, the entire staff gathers to explore our school values in action. From scavenger hunts and dancing to obstacle courses and packaging food for the less privileged, these sessions have challenged us, grown us, and connected us as colleagues. With so many new staff joining us in 2025, these team-building opportunities have been invaluable for integration and for passing on the unique spirit of WBJS.

Our professional learning beyond the school has also been remarkable. Professional Minds hosted two powerful events this year. Staff members attended the Tweens and Teens conference, which challenged us to consider how we as educators can remain flexible in guiding learners through an ever-changing world. Seven staff members also had the privilege of attending the Trauma Trilogy conference, which opened our eyes to the depth and breadth of trauma and its impact on our learners, from birth through adolescence. These sessions, grounded in cutting-edge neuroscience and practice, have significantly influenced the way we approach our classrooms each day.

Wellness has also become a key focus, with Miss K Cloete organising staff workshops which reminded us that teacher wellbeing is not a luxury but a necessity. These sessions were warmly received and have highlighted just how important mental hygiene and balance are in sustaining the work we do.

Another exciting development has been the launch of the PurpleZA platform. This online professional learning platform empowers educators to take ownership of their development in a flexible and practical way. Looking ahead, we are eager to embed PurpleZA into our culture of learning, recognising and celebrating staff who embrace this journey of continuous growth.

Technology integration has also remained a strong thread throughout 2025. Thanks to Mr A Swain, our staff have benefited from training in platforms such as CleverTouch, Google Level 1 (for new staff), and Kami. These sessions continue to expand our teaching toolkit, helping us use technology not only to enhance learning but also to work more efficiently, giving us more time where it matters most, with our learners.

From welcoming new staff into the WBJS family, to strengthening bonds across our team, to broadening our professional horizons, 2025 has been a year of growth and momentum. As we look to 2026, we are excited to build on these foundations, introducing new initiatives, expanding opportunities, and continuing to support every staff member in their journey as a lifelong learner.

Thank you to every colleague who has shown up with dedication, energy, and ‘Gees.’ Our collective commitment is what makes WBJS such an exceptional place to teach and learn.

LEARNERSHIP REPORT

The Learnership Programme has flourished once again this year, continuing to play an important role in the life of our school. We were excited to welcome some newbies, as into the Wynberg family, and they have quickly become part of the rhythm and spirit of our school community.

Throughout the year, our learnerships have shown tremendous commitment in juggling their academic responsibilities from assignments and practicals to exams, while still making themselves available to support staff and boys. Their energy and dedication have been especially evident in the Sports Skills Programme, where they have helped ensure its ongoing success.

Their enthusiasm and willingness to embrace diverse responsibilities have enriched our school while also equipping them with valuable experience for their teaching journeys ahead.

“

My journey as a learnership at Wynberg Boys’ Junior School has been both challenging and rewarding. I am extremely grateful for the mentorship I have received, it has helped shape my confidence and enhance my knowledge and skills in the classroom and on the sports field. Working under the guidance of such exceptional educators, in a school who constantly strives for excellence in all aspects of education has been the greatest opportunity in my journey to becoming a teacher. The greatest lesson I can take away from this journey is that growth in education is an ongoing process. Each day in the classroom boosted my confidence, while each challenge became an opportunity to reflect, adapt, improve and grow. This learnership programme was not just about gaining experience but also about discovering my resilience, deepening my passion for education.”

Celine Redding

“

During my learnership at the school, I gained valuable hands-on experience supporting both educators and students in a dynamic learning environment. I assisted with classroom activities, helped manage daily routines, and developed essential communication and organizational skills. This opportunity deepened my understanding of educational practices and strengthened my passion for working in the academic field.”

Shanté-Leigh Kannemeyer

“Being a learnership at Wynberg Boys’ Junior School has been an enriching and eye-opening experience. Each day brought something new for me to learn more about, from assisting teachers in the classroom, helping learners with their school work to coaching cricket and supporting hockey practices. It has been truly rewarding to be able to guide young boys as they learn and grow, while also developing my own confidence, patience and leadership in teaching. This opportunity not only gave me practical teaching experiences but also inspired me to pursue my career with even greater purpose.”

Kaylee Bouwer

“

My year as a learnership at Wynberg Boys’ Junior School has truly been a special journey filled with growth and learning. I’ve had the chance to gain so much experience, pick up new skills, and grow not only academically but also professionally through everything the school has offered me. Looking back, this year has shaped me into someone more confident, capable, and committed, and I’m excited to carry these lessons into the next stage of my teaching career.”

Taylor Solomon

“

Being a learnership at Wynberg Boys’ Junior School has been an invaluable journey of growth, both personally and professionally. I have learnt important skills such as classroom management, communication, team work, and balancing academic and work responsibilities, while also gaining confidence as an aspiring educator. The guidance and support of my mentors, as well as the experiences with the learners, have shaped me in meaningful ways, and I will carry these lessons with me into my future teaching career. I will truly miss the school, my mentors, and the learners who made this journey so rewarding.”

Kendra Rhode

“Since starting my learnership journey, Wynberg and its staff were very welcoming and supportive in the new journey I was facing.I have grown a lot as an individual, I have learned a lot from various individuals at the school, not only teachers and peers but students as well. I have also learned a lot about myself as an individual and have seen that I am capable of much more. Wynberg has taught me a lot and has been very supportive in my studies, and also helping me grow as an individual in coaching sports and gaining confidence in everything I undertake. Wynberg is warm and inviting and definitely feels like family.”

Nicole Grobler

“

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Wynberg this year. To make sure we feel accepted, encouraged, and challenged, the school has continuously gone above and beyond. I’ve grown and experienced a lot this year, and I’m thrilled to be a part of such an amazing and enduring community.”

Maya-Simone du Plessis

““

My time as a learnership at the school was a truly eye-opening and rewarding experience. I learned not only about teaching and learning, but also about myself – my strengths, areas for growth, and my ability to adapt in a professional environment. Working closely with both educators and learners taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of creating a positive, inclusive space for all students. This journey has inspired me to continue growing in the field of education and has given me a clearer sense of purpose and direction for my future.”

Cindy February

As my learnership chapter comes to an end, I can truly say it has been one of the most memorable experiences. Over the past years, I’ve had the privilege of forming meaningful connections with both staff and the learners and the growth I’ve experienced is something I will carry with me proudly into the next chapter of my journey. I want to sincerely thank Wynberg Boys’ Junior School for giving me this opportunity, for believing in me and for allowing me the space to grow not only as an educator, but as a person. Wynberg Boys’ Junior School has become such a special part of my journey and I will forever be grateful. Supera Moras!”

Aqeelah Mohammed

““

As my time as a learnership comes to an end, I am reminded of where I started in this journey. Unaware of what was to come, I look back fondly at my growth in academics, personal development and classroom experience. Wynberg Boys Junior School has not only embraced me as a staff member but as one of their family members which I will forever treasure in my heart. Thank you Wynberg Boys Junior staff, learners and WBJS parents for making 2025 one for the books. What an amazing year it has been! ”

Chiara Baatjes

As 2025 draws to a close, we prepare to say farewell to Chiara Baatjes and Kendra Rhode who will be qualifying at the end of the year. Aqeelah Mohammad also leaves at the end of this year to pursue her teaching career, after qualifying in September 2025. She has been an invaluable assistance in the Stream department in Mr Oosterwyk’s absence. We are confident that they will carry the skills, resilience, and passion they have developed at Wynberg into their first classrooms as newly qualified teachers. We wish them every success as they embark on this exciting new chapter and look forward to watching their careers unfold.”

SGB REPORT

If you pause and look back with just a little focus, you might catch a glimpse of what 2025 truly was. For many of us, the year rushed by, leaving us wondering how it passed so quickly. Perhaps it’s because our work, school, and social calendars fill up so easily, until the days blur into one another. Yet even through the haze, there were standout moments: the hugely successful Grey tour, when hundreds of Wynberg families travelled to Gqeberha to support a weekend of sport and culture; our boys heading off to camps and sports tours and returning richer in experience and more aware of the world; and the many PA events where Wynberg families gathered to connect, relax, and support the school. All of this happened alongside a full calendar of sports matches, festivals, exhibitions, concerts, and voluntary Service events that made 2025 feel wonderfully full.

The school grounds themselves were constantly alive with activity — always teeming and buzzing. Beyond the regular school day and extra murals, the school continued to serve the wider community after hours, as we opened our facilities to various organisations and clubs. I would like to thank our security teams and ground staff for their continued dedication in keeping our grounds safe, organised, and spotless — spaces we can all be proud of.

As an SGB, we remain acutely aware that parents pay school fees with hard-earned money. It is our responsibility not only to ensure sound financial governance, but also to invest those funds in ways that meaningfully support teaching, learning, and the overall educational experience. Many of these investments take the form of CAPEX projects, and some of the more tangible outcomes this year include:

• The full repair, refurbishment, and maintenance of the Arnold Lorie Hall roof.

• The expansion of the Music Block with additional classrooms to support the growing Music department, providing a calm, dedicated space for lessons and practice.

• The completion of the Grade N development, allowing us to welcome a new cohort of boys and families into our community.

• The extension of internet connectivity across the school grounds, particularly around the Grade N buildings and pavilion, to strengthen digital access in these hubs.

• Continued upgrades to classrooms and teaching equipment to ensure we remain at the forefront of educational offering.

As the school year draws to a close, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all staff for the positive impact they have on our boys — for shaping their daily experiences and helping their minds grow. Your guidance plays a vital role in nurturing secure, confident, and independent young men.

I would also like to thank the SGB for their time and dedication throughout the year. Monthly portfolio meetings, quarterly formal meetings, Special Item discussions, budget preparation sessions, and so much more — all of this represents time willingly sacrificed for the sake of the school. For this, you are sincerely commended.

Two SGB members conclude their service this year: Sam Centurier-Harris and Zaid Samaai. Our thanks go to Sam for her meticulous organisation and dedication in leading the Infrastructure Portfolio. And to Zaid, we extend deep appreciation for

his eight years of service to the SGB, including a significant tenure at the helm of the Finance Portfolio. His thoughtful, steady approach to fiscal governance has been invaluable. We are profoundly grateful to them both.

As we turn our thoughts to the year ahead, may we carry forward the spirit of community, gratitude, and shared purpose that shaped 2025. Our boys, our staff, and our families remain at the heart of all we do, and it is their energy and commitment that make Wynberg such a remarkable place to belong. Thank you for the trust you place in us, for the partnership you offer, and for the countless ways you enrich the life of the school. May 2026 be a year filled with meaningful moments, continued growth, and memories made together.

Mrs Yumna Cunningham

PARENTS ASSOCIATION

As our boys get older and move through their grades at WBJS, time seems to just speed up and once again we find ourselves preparing to wrap up another year!

It feels like just the other day, we were welcoming everyone back in term 1 with the annual picnic. Once again, it was a huge success. The weather played its part and boys and their families gathered on our fields to connect with one another. Ms van der Merwe, one of the music teachers at the school, entertained the crowds with some jazz pieces on her saxophone and helped set the tone for a beautiful evening.

The planned event for the second term was a scavenger hunt. We had hoped to include some small businesses in the Southern Suburbs community but due to time constraints we were not able to execute this. We still feel it has the potential to have a great impact on our fundraising efforts so hopefully we’ll see it launch in the future.

The Family Fun Day and Market was held in the third term and once again it drew in the crowds. With over 2000 people in attendance there was lots to do and see. The highlight of the day had to be the teacher races! Those that took part were made to get dressed up in inflatable costumes and the boys were thrilled to see Mr Poleman dressed as a pink unicorn! The heat of the day certainly didn’t dampen the competitive edge as they raced around a short obstacle track while the boys and their families cheered them on.

At the time of writing this, we are in the planning stages of the end of year event which would traditionally be the Camp Out. Unfortunately, due to planned maintenance on our fields, we will not

be able to have a sleep over at the school, so the committee is tirelessly working on ideas for an alternative which does not disappoint!

The tuckshop remains a steady flow of income for the Parent Association, and we continue to look at ways to cut costs and increase revenue without it affecting our prices. We will continue to run our tuckshop for as many events as possible but rely heavily on volunteers to do this. This year has seen another increase in new faces serving our community and we remain grateful to every person that offers up their time to assist.

At the start of the year, I announced that I would be stepping down from my position as chairperson of the Parent Association. Zaidah Regal, who served alongside me as Vice Chairperson, will also be stepping down as her son finishes his junior school career. I had asked for members of the Parent Association to nominate someone to take over from us and I am very grateful for the following ladies who have accepted the positions;

Chairperson – Erin James

Vice Chairperson – Louise Wilson

I know they will do an excellent job and take the Parent Association to new heights!

I am eternally grateful for the opportunities this role has afforded me. I have gained so much by serving the school and our immediate community over the last 4 years and I will forever be proud to be a Wynberg Boys’ parent. I have formed lifelong friendships and a deep respect for the diverse environment we find ourselves in. I have learnt

so much about myself as a person and what I am capable of. Thank you to the boys and their parents who supported us and entrusted us with this responsibility. I hope we have served you well. I wish to thank every single person that I had the privilege of working with either in the tuckshop or on a planning committee. Thank you to my husband for his unending support and for opening the tuckshop

on cold winter nights when there was no one else. A very special thank you to Mr Rhode for your guidance and support. And to my dear friend and “Halaal” counterpart, Zaidah Regal. Your hard work and dedication is inspiring and while this is certainly not the end of our journey, I will miss our working relationship terribly!

INFRASTRUCTURE REPORT

What an amazing difference the pressure cleaning of the school roof during the 2024/2025 holidays had made; it was very noticeable on our return in January. The onset of early rain in the season allowed the team to identify any additional leaks that needed to be repaired, and this allowed us to finish this project.

In February, during the hot summer days, we installed 22 new fans across the Grade 4, 5, 6, and 7 classrooms, as well as the Library. This means all classrooms upstairs now have fans, helping keep the boys cool and focused on hot days.

Throughout the year, various repairs and projects were conducted at the historic Glebe Cottage. The most notable ones were the complete replacement of the Annex Roof as the old sheeting had started to rust through. Some repairs to the garage roof were also completed, where the south-easterly wind, over the years, had loosened some of the sheeting.

With the thick, old historic walls, Glebe gets cold in winter. The decision was made to install a closed combustion fireplace, replacing the previous open fireplace. This system is much more efficient and reduces the risk of a fire significantly in the thatched building.

The Grade 4 bathrooms and Learning Support Offices project reached an important milestone in October when the courtesy plans were finally approved by the City of Cape Town, and a permit was obtained from Heritage Western Cape. The project is currently at the quotation stage, with construction anticipated to begin early in the new year. The application for our Grade N operation has also made some significant progress with the City of Cape Town, and we expect approval imminently.

In October, we undertook the repair work on Mini Astros 4 and 5. The project involved lifting the Astro turf, removing some invasive tree roots, filling in a dangerous sinkhole, and then releveling the entire surface and relaying the Astro turf. The damaged portion of the tennis court wall was also re-plastered and waterproofed. We had all three of the school’s boreholes professionally cleaned and blown out, in preparation for the upcoming summer season, and to ensure we have plenty of available water for our sports fields.

The big decision was made by the SGB to replace the Kikuyu grass on our three fields, an area covering about 14 500 square metres. Due to many different factors and timing, this affected some of the yearend events and we had to get quite creative with the parking of parents and also the boys playing at breaktime. Currently, the project is on track with the fields having been ploughed, and the first big truck has arrived with the new grass sods. With cricket matches scheduled for early in January, we need to keep this project on track throughout the holidays.

Our Aquatic Centre facilities received considerable attention throughout the year, starting with the automatic chlorinator system being replaced and upgraded. In July, the polysulphide expansion joint around the pools was replaced, along with some of the cracked copings. An opportunity presented itself where a cherry picker would be onsite working at the main astro and we jumped at the chance to use it and replaced the pool’s floodlights with upgraded ones.

Ahead of Term 4, we made further improvements and added additional electrical outlets in the pool area to accommodate a lap clock for swimming and the 30-second clocks for Water polo. The Jan Oosthuizen Pavilion also benefited from electrical upgrades, with new outlets installed to support sound systems and other equipment needed for school events. The arrival of a set of new lane ropes and a new starting system had the pool in perfect shape to host a couple of swimming galas.

WBJS FIBRE BACKBONE

WBJS GRADE R AND PAVILION FIBRE UPGRADE

After a lot of planning and careful consideration, we have upgraded our network infrastructure to 10 Gbps fibre Backbone which services our Grade R and Pavilion. This gives WBJS the ability to add more high-powered Access Points and network equipment. Our current Wireless Radio links will be repurposed to areas like our Grade N building granting an increase of network potential and speed throughout the entire campus.

Benefits of Fiber Installation

Fiber is more reliable than older internet technologies. This is due to it using light to transfer data, making it immune to many of the issues that can affect copper cables. As technology evolves, the demand for faster and more efficient internet will only grow. Fiber networks are built to accommodate that demand, so upgrading your connection in the future is much easier than older systems.

Benefits of Fiber Optics in CCTV Performance

1. Enhanced Signal Quality

Fiber optics delivers superior signal quality compared to traditional copper cables. It minimizes electromagnetic interference and provides a higher bandwidth, ensuring clearer and more detailed video footage. Quantitatively, Fiber optics can handle transmission speeds of up to 10 Gbps, far exceeding the capabilities of standard coaxial cables.

2. Extended Transmission Range

The transmission range of Fiber optics is an essential factor in large-scale CCTV deployments. Unlike copper cables, which are limited to a few hundred meters, Fiber optics can transmit signals over distances of up to 100 kilometres without requiring signal boosters. This capacity is crucial for surveillance systems where cameras are distributed over vast areas.

AFTERCARE

A Glimpse into Aftercare

This year, we were blessed with a bunch of spirited boys, and at first, we had to navigate our way through our challenges. As always, it is amazing to see how they have grown, settled and forged bonds of friendship and support. Growing, learning and exploring with our boys always leaves us feeling empowered, and more so that we have established a strong sense of community.

This year we introduced our birthday wall as a way in which we could recognise and celebrate each boy’s special day. The older boys really loved the new addition and seeing the positive effect, we will keep doing it.

Our parents and boys were also amazing and contributed generously to our very first attempt to uphold Mandela Day at aftercare. Needless to say, it was a huge success and our hard work and dedication were rewarded. Our “Jars of Love” were handed out to the needy of Ottery.

As WBJS aftercare facilitators, we continue to provide a safe, nurturing and engaging environment for our boys

All that is left as we wrap up this year is to thank our wonderful parents and our boys for their love and support and our team. Your kindness and patience make all the difference.

GRADE R

What a truly wonderful year it has been in Grade R! From the very first day, the corridors of our building were filled with excitement and eager anticipation as we welcomed our boys to the start of their school journey. They quickly settled into new routines and embraced the busyness of their lively school days.

In Term 1, one of our favourite themes was Under the Sea. The boys loved learning about fascinating sea creatures and biomes, and their classroom knowledge came to life during a memorable outing to the museum in Hout Bay. Exploring the rock pools was a highlight, with boys discovering tiny sea creatures in their natural habitat. The term also included the much-loved Foundation Phase Inter-House Sports Day, filled with energy, smiles, and plenty of fun.

Term 2 was all about celebrating family and community. The boys worked hard preparing for Mom’s Morning in May, followed soon after by Dad’s Morning. There was such joy in singing to their moms and dads, and in sharing playful moments together. As the cooler weather arrived, treat days shifted from refreshing ice lollies to warm cups of hot chocolate! Our theme on Occupations was a hit, especially with exciting visits from the Wynberg Fire Station and Melomed paramedics. A highlight of the term was our outing to Rosen Castle, where the boys immersed themselves in role play becoming bakers, vets, chefs, and shopkeepers for the day.

Term 3 was equally exciting, bursting with creativity and exploration. For the second year, we visited the Peter Clarke Art Museum, where the boys sculpted imaginative clay dinosaurs. They also gave their best at the Inter-House Cross Country, running with determination and school spirit. Book Day brought colour and imagination to life, with the boys dressing up as their favourite characters, their costumes and enthusiasm made the day truly special.

Term 4 brought the year to a joyful close. The boys were enthralled by the Minimo Reptile Show, where they had the chance to touch and feel unusual creatures. Our walk to Maynardville for a picnic and playtime in the park was a perfect way to enjoy the sunshine and celebrate the bonds of friendship formed over the year.

We could not be prouder of our Grade R boys. This year has been filled with milestones and many “firsts”. They have worked hard, learned the importance of teamwork, and grown in confidence and curiosity. We wish them every success as they continue their journey as young Wynberg Boys.

Finally, a heartfelt thank you to our dedicated Grade R teachers, assistants, and learnerships. Your hard work, love, and support have made this year so special for our boys.

Superman fights day to night with his lazer eyes. I like supermam because he has all these power. He can beat anyone. And his dog can fly with him. Superman was born in krypto. His parents sent him to the real world. Supurman was gone when he was a baby. Superman disguise like a nerd and wears glasses. He does not drive a car. He flys to the crime.

Lorax shared writing

A sweet Lorax yawned quickly as he woke from his nap and began his journey in search of the magical Truffula tree. He went down the silent path quickly , through the forest of trees as quietly as a breath of fresh air, and he hats a bag with his lunch. He was werring blue and green shoes. He saw goawey leave on the trees. And He saw a dragon and king kong mixed . He ran very fast . He went low for the fart. And high for the raw. H saw a soccer and rugby club. Until he was in a garden clearing and face to face with the very, bright Truffula tree.

Hamzah Khan

A sleepy Lorax yawned “crazy as he woke up from his nap and began” his “journey in search of the magical Truffla tree”. He want … down the silent path quickly, through the “ forest of the trees as quickly as a breath of fresh air,”

He found “a soft wet paper.”

With treasure “in the chest.” Is a bunch “of Truffla trees seeds.” He found strawberry, “blueberrys instead” than what he expected he is so furious, in his mind”

He met a friend “named snowley.” Until he was “in a cool cleaning and” face to face” with the cute soft Truffla tree.”

Jeremiah Madjiet

down the silent path quickly, through the forest of trees as quickly as a breath of fresh air. Until he was in a beautiful clearing and face to face the magical amazing truffula tree. The tree said, “Hello how are you.” “I’m gonna have a feast do you want to come.” “Let’s go.” So off they went fast and sometimes went slow. Where will they go? Nobody knows. there in the distance a horrible find, a polluted forrest. “Surely someone littered here.” said the Lorax , “We cant touch it.” “Hey look Vines.” said the magic tree “let’s swing.” “Ok” said Lorax. So they swang and got to there destination

In the cold windy morning I woke up and get ready imedialy because it is fun day! I start by dressing up. One warm thick t-shirt and thick pants, Jacket and takkies. I eat my breakfast; 3 waffles, 1 with mple syrup, another without anything on it, and one with ice-cream and maple syrup. I jumped in the fast car and went to WBJS for the funday. We drove for a long boring fifteen minutes. When we got there we first found a place to park the fast car. We got out of the fast car. We went to the stairs to get our tickets for everything. First we unpacked all our stuff and laid it out on the ground I found my friends and we all bought slushies and drank them. Then we went to the market and got food to eat. After we went to the strong man and BMX shows we came home and ate lunch and played outside.

Dinosaurs are big extinct reptile-like animals. They lived on land and had upright limbs. They lived 252 million years ago. Triceratops is a dinosaur that lived in the late Cretaceous period about 68 million years ago. It was one of the last, it lived till dinosaurs became extinct 66 million years ago. The name Triceratops comes from Greek and means threehorned face. It had a large boney frill, 3 horns and a big body with 4 strong legs. It was a large dinosaur that measured 6 to 8 tonnes. Scientists thought that they used their horns and boney frill to defend themselves, but now they think it was also used as a way to show dominance and to attract a mate.

The Lorax Writing

A very long time ago a man named the Oncerler whent to grow a business. He would cut truffalo trees but one day a fat guy named the Lorax came and sed I speek for the trees for the trees can’t speek for themselves. He then said sed do not cut the trees. But the Oncerler egnord him. Many animals had to evacuate. They had to because the pollution was geting worse. So a boy named Ted knew about the truffalo trees and the Oncerler told the story of the Lorax to Ted. He gave Ted a seed and Ted convinst the town to plant trees. The end.

Camden Fredericks

Once upon a time there was a place, it had real trees. It was outside in a sunny green field. There were animals all so happy. The one day a man called the Onceler found the place. He chopped down every tree and made stuff with it. He was cruel, he blamed stuff on people. Then soon in a few days the place was empty, there was not even one tree left.

He started making air pollution, and water pollution till the whole place was polluted. The Lorax was sad and could not save the trees. The Lorax had to send away his friends. The pollution was bad for the animals and the trees. The Onceler was rude and greedy.

Then Ted found the last Truffula tree seed. His mom and grandma helped him plant it. They encouraged the town to help them plant it. They made a big hole to plant it. Once it was planted it kept spreading, and all the pollution was gone. Kenzo Conroy

Once upon a time in a peaceful swamp when frogs didn’t croak frogs had beatiful voices, but they couldn’t speak to each other from far away, because frogs didn’t have loud voices. If they want to talk, they had to be close to each other.

One day a frog was born and in his mind he wanted to invent something that would change frogs forever. He knew that something was wrong, so he said to himself, “I’m going to wait when I am older and smarter.’’ Once he was older he still had to think what could change frogs.

One morning a frog was very hungry and ate too many flys in one day. After that he made a loud burp. After a few burps it started to make a croak sound, at first everyone laughed.

From that day onwards everyone burped and they also made a croak sound. Then remember that frog that wanted to invent something, he had an idea,” What if I made this, then we can speak to each other from far away’’ that’s why frogs croak. To never be greedy, wanting too much can get you in trouble.

Why Frogs Croak

Once upon a time in a beautiful forest, with beautiful magical trees called fossillights, with special fruits hanging on them called Aevar fruits, lived Frog. Frog was very happy, because his voice was good. But one day when he sang, his voice didn’t sound so good.

Frog went to find someone to help with his voice. He found some fairies and asked if they could help him. The fairies told Frog they couldn’t help unfortunately. Frog searched a little bit more and finally found someone.

Frog found Snake, and he thought he was cool. But he was actually a trickster! Frog told Snake, “Can you please help with my voice?” Snake agreed and lied to Frog saying his venom was primarily used to fix voices. Frog trusted Snake. Snake told Frog to open his mouth, so he opened his mouth wide. Quickly,Snake spat the venom into his mouth and ran away. Once Frog swallowed the venom, he tried to sing but then a horrible croak came out of his mouth,he tried again,it happened again. Frog knew he had been tricked. Frog was agitated and sad.

The story is a reminder to not trust strangers. Sebastian Arendse

How the Giraffe Got Its Long Neck

A long, long time ago giraffes didn’t have long necks like today, they had short necks. One day in the beautiful African savannah, there lived a giraffe. Giraffe was a greedy animal, he always took other animals food.

The animals started to hide their food in the ground, but Giraffe always found it. One day Giraffe stole baboon’s food and he got so made, he stole even more food.

Giraffe ate so much food that the food got stuck in his throat and his throat started to grow. He thought it would be easier to steal food, but little did he know

it was harder. Every time he tried to steal food, he couldn’t reach it.

One day Baboon got an idea, he told all the animals and his best friend Donkey to keep all their food on the ground. Giraffe never stole the animals food ever again.

Wanting to much and being greedy can make you lose everything.

Why Frogs Croak

Once upon a time there lived two frogs, some animals and a chief Zebra. The animals called them Frog 1 and Frog 2 and they lived by a small pond in the veld.

One night Frog 1 threw a party near a hollow tree trunk. He invited all the animals including Frog 2. Chief Zebra found a small hole in the tree trunk and thats where he started to cook his chicken.

The two frogs were chatting but some animals were listening and the frogs didn’t like it. They sat down and had some chicken. Frog 1 tried to swallow a big piece of chicken but it got stuck in his throat which made him croak.

Frog 2 said that they can make it their own secret language! They just needed to name it. Frog 2 thought of croak, Frog 1 agreed. So then Frog 2 purposely tried to swallow a piece of chicken which made him croak too. The other animals were sad that they couldn’t listen but they got over it. Soon all frogs were born with the ability to croak and lived happily ever after.

Don’t be too curious otherwise you’ll now nothing.

Why Giraffes have Long Necks

Long ago in the hot African savannah lived a Giraffe who didn’t have a long neck like other Giraffe’s. Giraffe had a wize friend Elephant and a strong Lion who was his bully.

Lion always teased him for being short or not athletic enough to get food from the trees. Giraffe became sad and wanted revenge, so he decided to ask Elephant for advice, but just as he was about to leave, Lion was there saying he was too short. He ignored Lion even though it was hard and ran off.

After a bit of looking Giraffe found Elephant and Elephant was surprised but happy. Giraffe told Elephant about Lion and asked for advice. Elephant said, “Be patient and do this. Pretend your looking for food so Lion comes and grabs your neck to annoy you, but pull away so that your neck stretches. It might be soar but it will be worth it.”

Giraffe was scared but went out to do it. He pretended to get food from the tree until Lion came and “Stike!” Lion grabbed Giraffe’s neck. Giraffe pulled and pulled, his neck stretched, Lion swung off and ran away.

From that day Giraffe could eat from tree’s and Lion never messed with him again. For some odd reason all giraffes grew a long neck.

Hardwork and patience can lead to sucesss.

Why Frogs Croak

Long long ago in the deep forest lived a rude frog, a koi fish who was smart, a deer who would always eat grass and a bear who was always hungry. They each had a home and koi fish was in a different pond right next to the frog. But the frog was very rude and none of the animals liked him and would do something about it one day.

So the next day all the animals had a meeting but they didn’t invite the frog. They discussed how will they would teach the frog a lesson. About how to be kind to others. When they went back outside the frog was bragging.

So later that day they asked the animal God to send a big storm over them to teach that frog a lesson. Luckily he said yes so when the animals were preparing the frog just sat on a lilypad and provoked each one of them. When the storm hit there was water everywhere and at the end of the storm everyone came outside.

When the frog came out and spoke there was a croak. From that onwards every frog was born like that.

How the giraffe got its long neck

Long ago when animals were different, there was a small giraffe with a short neck. All the animals made fun of him because he was ‘ugly’.

Giraffe was very sad. Tourtoise went to him and asked, “What’s wrong?” Giraffe said that he was sad because the animals made fun of him. “Your time will come”, Tourtoise said. Giraffe looked at him and said in a trusting voice, “Thank you”.

The animals saw Giraffe crying and just laughed. They said that Giraffe would never look beautiful. He was heartbroken but he knew that Tourtoise was wise and wanted to help.

Eventually, his neck grew, slowly but surely. It was growing every day. It became longer and longer and longer until it was very, very, very long! The animals were all shocked but Tourtoise just said, “I told you.”

Moral: Don’t rush, patience leads to success.

Why Frogs Croak

Long ago, there was a pond. In that pond lived a Frog, Fish, and Dragonfly. Everyday Frog sang about how he had the best voice. Fish and Dragonfly became very annoyed and realised they needed to teach him a lesson.

They planned for weeks about how to teach Frog a lesson and soon got the perfect plan to do it. Their plan was to make Frog eat bubbles by tricking him into thinking they were flies. If he ate them every time he spoke he would croak.

The next day, Frog sang. Then Fish and Dragonfly awoke and found Frog. They said that with singing a lot Frog was probably hungry. Frog agreed and asked where he could get some bugs. Fish and Dragonfly said that they could get him bugs while he cleaned up. Then Frog Left. Fish blew some bubbles. When Frog came back he was fooled into thinking that the bubbles were flies and thanked them.

Frog ate the bubbles and tried to say thanks but croaked. He got angry at them and walked away. They knew they had taught Frog a lesson, he never boasted again.

MORAL: Do not be arrogant and think you’re better than someone.

At the waterhole they had lots of fun playing games,

“Hey giraffe”said elephant “lets play tag”ok” said giraffe. As they played tag giraffe slipped and fell in a crack “help.”

Elephant and giraffe screamed for help but no one heard them, so elephant went to meerkat and told him everything, “so will you help me?” said elephant, “and go in that rain! never!”replied meerkat. Then elephant went to hyena, “Hyena, Hyena please help me, giraffe is stuck!” cried elephant. “Come inside elephant, you look cold,” said hyena, but that was a bad decision for elephant because hyena tried to eat him. Elephant ran and bumped into Rhino.

Elephant told rhino everything and rhino pulled giraffe out by the neck to free him but his neck stretched. Thankfully Giraffe was fine.

How the Giraffe Got His Long Neck

Long ago, in the hot African grasslands, there lived a giraffe who didn’t have a long neck. Giraffe couldn’t reach the fruit high up in the trees, so Elephant always had to help him. Giraffe was tired of having a short neck.

Elephant felt very sorry for Giraffe, but they couldn’t do anything about his shortness. Soon Elephant also grew tired of always helping, but still there was nothing they could do.

One day, while they were at the fruit tree, Elephant had an idea. He thought about stretching Giraffe’s neck. When he told Giraffe, he agreed to try.

So with all his might, Elephant wrapped his trunk around Giraffe’s head and pulled. In fact, he had to take another breath halfway through because it was so hard! But when they were done, Giraffe looked very tall and at last, he could reach the fruit.

He thanked the Elephant for the great idea. The moral of the story is to always help a friend in need.

Why Frogs Croak

One morning, before anyone was awake, a wizard and his magical potion pig moved into the swamp. Suddenly, a massive hut appeared called the Inner Hut. It looked mystical, full of vibrant bright colours and inside it was even more beautiful and full of life.

But there was a problem. A bully called Frog. He often did and said rude things to others, but his main target was Dragonfly. Frog tried to slap Dragonfly with his tongue, but it never worked because Dragonfly was so good at flying. When he missed, Frog shouted rude things like “Get lost!” and “Loser!”

Dragonfly told the wizard, who was furious. He told Dragonfly not to worry and he would solve the problem. The wizard thought for a while and then had an idea. He could make a potion so that whenever Frog tried to do something rude, he would croak instead.

The wizard made the potion and gave it to Frog. The next day, when Frog tried to bully Dragonfly, he just croaked! When he realised what had happened, he ran away and never bullied anyone again. The moral of the story is to treat others the way you want to be treated.

The Curse of the Golden Pyramid

Long ago, in Ancient Egypt there was a gold pyramid for thousands of years until a curious explorer named Zayd stepped inside. A gust of wind blew through the chamber and suddenly, then walls started to glow with ancient hieroglyphics. Zayd had awaked a curse.

Zayd was with his best friend Zane. The ground shook, the sky flickered red, screams of pain could be heard. Zayd was then set in a trance, he lost all control and ran back inside.

Zane was shocked and speechless. Zane then ran in too. Zayad found a library, it was quiet, too quiet. Suddenly a book started floating, one book straight into his hand. He opened it and it was full of hieroglyphics.

Then a glowing appeared. It told Zayd that he must tell that to his pet. Then the figure disappeared. Then he heard heavy breathing and loud stomps.

A half-lion half-human monster entered. Zane and Zayd froze. Zayd knew what to do and told the code. The creature disappeared and Zayd was never too curious ever again.

The end.

English Descriptive Paragraph

The forest was quiet. Not even a single leaf rustled. The air was thick and still, heavy with the scent of wet bark and moss. The rainforest was larger, loud and you could hear the animals speaking from far far away it was hard to get through but wach your step you may step on a cold rough snake. You could hear the waterfall crushing down. A thick smog covering the rainforest wet leaf dripping down on the ground.

The ocean was rough, fierce and loud, when the waves pound against the rock it sounds like thunder. The wind has a cold nip but it’s very strong, it’s like the wind wanted to put me in the ocean.

So we watched a movie

And lay in a blankee

Then a dog came along

And we made a song

So we all sang

But my alarm rang

Now it’s time to sleep

So we started to weep

But at the end of the day

It’s a beautiful May.

The Mountain

It stays high up in a cloud

Standing tall and standing proud

Watching high over the bays

That is were this mountain lays

There are many trees

And its wildlife are as busy as bees

People think that he’s lame

But I think he’ll get fame

As the trees spin in the wind

A place that should be pined

For hikers hiking all around

The mountain ascending from the ground

The mountain has his life

And we have ours, so don’t cause strife

All you need is a feast

At the mountain by the east

The trickster fox

In the forest, sleek and sly

A fox with fire in his eyes

Tiptoes through the morning dew

Looking for a snack or two

With fur so red and eyes so bright

He prowls beneath a pale moonlight

He’s quick, sharp and smart

A little trickster heart

The Curse of the Golden Pyramid

To get to the other side he had to step on the correct tile, and if he didn’t step on the correct tile an arrow would shoot him. After getting the first three tiles correct he stepped on a wrong tile and quickly dodged an arrow!

He got to the end without getting shot. He slowly and carefully opened the box and inside was a strange looking key. When he looked to his left there was a huge door, so he walked up to it and opened it. He went through the door and suddenly he was back in the desert. He saw a small hut and was curious so he started to walk up to it.

When he got there he knocked on the door, he could hear footsteps and it was the witch! He jumped up and down in excitement. And then he stopped, and politely asked the witch to break the curse, and the next second he was back in his town, and the curse was broken! That night he threw a huge party and everyone was invited! And he and his village lived happily ever after. The end.

The Curse of The Golden Pyramid

Zayd has just unleashed the evil spirit of Ancient Egypt, Sae. Zayd knew he had done something wrong, so he begged and pleaded with Sae to let him live. But as curious as he was, he accepted his fate, but instead of Sae hurting him, Sae chose for Zayd to become him.

Zayd had become Sae, he wanted people to worship him and follow him. No one could stop him,he was in his own world. He had casted curses and many other bad things, no matter what anyone did, nothing could stop him. He is now the most powerful person in the world, the curse was officially at its peak. Everyday he sat on the top of the Golden Pyramid, while everyone down below worshipped him.

The pharaoh, Isaiah, had finally had enough and decided to step in and defeat Zayd. Isaiah made it to the worshipping of ‘King Zayd’ which was what people called him now. About 20 minutes in, Zayd wasn’t focusing and Isiah struck with the Staff of Ra. Zayd struck back and Isiah, then finished off Zayd with a strike as powerful as the sun, Zayd was finally defeated

Something crazy that happened

One stormy evening my friend and I stood at the creaky gate of the old house on maple street daring each other to step in side and uncover the truth behind the ghostly whispers we had heard about for years. I went first and then as I was about to open the door the door opened by itself.

Then we saw a guy standing in the far corner of the room staring at us and then he vanished. We then explored the house. Then we lost our friend Jack. We called the police and the police found no traces of Jack. Then the police put up missing signs!!!

Me and my other friend Sam started walking back. On the way back me and Sam felt like someone was watching us and we were right!! We walked past a alleyway and we saw the same guy that vanished at the creepy old house he had a knife in his hand with a dead body laying next to the guy. He started walking closer and faster every step. We ran home and when we got home we decided to get some rest.

We then woke up to see our parents laying on the road dead outside. We then went out side crying on the ground. We then saw the killer guy walking closer to us but as he got closer he started to turn into dust Turns out it was all just a dreamland it was the day before halloween.

The new lonely wolf defends the other lonely wolf

Then he wins the fight, the lonely wolves are not lonely anymore

They are partners of love

Fighting to keep each other

The happy wolves play and have fun together

The end this shows that love is about determination to stay together

The Grumpy Bear

In the forest, deep and dark, Lived a bear with a grumpy spark.

He’d growl at birds, and snap at trees,

A sour mood carried on the breeze.

He’d stomp and huff with every step,

Never a smile, no kindness left.

The forest critters kept their space, Afraid of that bear’s scowling face.

But one day, while the moon was bright,

He paused and gazed at the starry night.

For just a moment, his frown did fade,

A hint of peace in the quiet shade.

Now he grumbles, but with some grace,

A bear who’s learned to slow his pace.

Still grumpy, yes, but deep inside,

He knows there’s beauty he can’t hide.

Daniel Marneweck

The Quiet Owl

In the forest up in the sky

Lies an owl very sly

He uses his claws to grapple

And sometimes picks up an apple

Sometimes he turns his head

And sees lovely owl ahead

He flies to her and sings her a song

But all she wants to do is sleep all day long

He doesn’t have nobody to see

So now he will never be free

I guess that’s what happens when you grow up

Nobody will ever show up

Now it’s time for him to rest

But he didn’t even try his best

So now will we never know

If she will ever show

The Crocodile

A crocodile has a smile

While swims in the Nile

This crocodile is very bold

Because he is old

He likes to crawl across the bridge

Because there is a big fridge

And in the fridge there is an apple

That is called the massive gapple

Mustaccio Monkey

Mustaccio monkey loved his hair

He combed,and combed everywhere

He loved to show off in Bo-Kaap

But one day he grew a mustache

Oh my ,My word,this is nice

He then proceeded to show the mice

They said it looks fine

Mustaccio monkey started to whine

The little mice looked at him

Dean Fernandez

Esa Hendricks

He started to feel something on his chin

The mice said,’’from what I’ve heard …”

“Monkey is starting to grow a beard!”

The rich dog

The dog was buying a mansion, And he has a lot of fashion.

He is so rich,

He can buy a nintendo switch. He bought a chimnie, And a lambogini.

He has butlers to carry his gold, Because he is too old.

He was shooting a crossbow, When he heard someone say Oh no.

He was tweaking, When he was working.

He was eating, And he was playing.

He was playing music, But he was sick.

The Crazy Cat

In my house dark at night,

Lived my cat fast as light,

He ate fast, hungry as a lion,

He could even dodge a ball of iron.

He bites so hard he can eat an eel,

He even ate my own meal,

HE’s super lazy just like me,

He even drinks a cup of tea.

He eats alot just like me,

But always falls and goes weeeeee

He ran away to eat KFC,

My cat is now a celebrity.

Rafeeq Wickstrom

The mysterious shark

He’s a shark blue and sly

He swims through the water like a silent turbine

He’s slick & silent to stalk he’s pray

He’s so fast they can’t run away

He blends with the water in a vivid blue

If he sneaks up behind you will not have a clue

He’s fast and precise

He’ll tear you up with his razer canines

Nu’Man Khan

The curious cat

The curious cat pounced on a rat

The curious cat squashed it flat

The curious cat saw a bee

Buzzing along the branch of a tree

The curious cat loved things

He even pounced on some flings

He gave a thing a sniff

Despite some whiff

He loved his food so much

Sometimes he ate too much

The curious cat loved to play

He plays with his friends every day

M. Yunus Manuel

The clever cat that can rap

There once was a cat named Joe

He was so clever he always knew where to go

Now he,s on his way to the city

While hitting the gridy

On his way he got jumped by a rat

Who challenged him to a rap

So Joe started to pull out them beats

Creating a masterpiece

“You be walking around looking ugly like that

Sorry I just be spitting them facts

Don’t come near you stupied little rat

You got that?”

The rat started to cry

And Joe told him to cry,cry,cry

All the way to his bed

Where he will lay dead

My Heritage Day

On Heritage Day I woke up at nine o’clock. I got out of bed and ate breakfast. I watched on my phone for a little bit and then I got dressed for the braai we were having later in the day. It started at about one o’clock and it was really fun. A lot of my family members were there, like my aunties, my uncles and my cousins. It was such fun with them. We were playing soccer, rugby, we swam and played on the trampoline. We ate at around three or four o’clock. We had chops, chicken, sausage and some other food and it was really good. They all left at around nine o’clock and we were very sad that they were leaving. I went to sleep about half past ten or eleven. Heritage Day means to me to celebrate all of our diverse cultures and to celebrate where we come from.

English fable excerpt

In a vast forest, four groups ruled: Lions on the plains, Tigers in the jungle, Alligators by the rivers, and Fish in the waters. One year, a terrible drought came. Water dried up, and food grew scarce.

The Lions roared, “We are the strongest, we’ll take control!”

The Tigers growled, “We need no one. Let each survive alone!”

The Alligators hissed, “Let the weak perish. We’ll wait and feed.”

But the Fish spoke softly, “Without us, the rivers will vanish. If the rivers die, so will the forest.”

The others laughed and ignored the Fish.

Soon, the last pools dried up. The Fish died. The rivers turned to dust. The trees withered, prey vanished, and the mighty beasts grew weak.

Too late, they realized the forest needed all creatures even the smallest to survive.

English fable excerpt

Once upon a time, a clever pigeon and a beautiful pink flamingo lived near a famous village. The pigeon had bluish grey feathers and could fly high above the trees , but often felt unhappy with how he looked. He would often compare himself to others.

One morning he decided to fly over the valley and saw a beautiful flamingo with her lovely colourful feathers and long standing legs. The sun made her feathers glitter like diamonds , and all the animals stopped to admire her.

The pigeon stopped and hid behind the bushes and said, “ I wish I looked like her. Everyone admires her beauty and not me”

The flamingo noticed him in the bush and said, “ Why are you sad pigeon?”

The pigeon replied, “ I wish people would admire my feathers as much as they admire yours. Your beauty stands out, but I am just small and dull.”

One sunny morning in a light and calm forest near a busy, crowded city , lived three animals. A small humble mouse, a hardworking bird and a mean lazy bear. The mouse lived in a cosy wood cabin. He always helped others and was kind. The bird always worked hard, saving money. The bear was totally different from them. He slept the whole day, bullied people and stole from others. One day the bird was flying and dropped his money on the ground. As it fell the mouse rushed over and picked it up but suddenly …

The bear stole it and said, “this is mine!” “It’s not, it’s the bird’s money, ” the mouse replied. Bear pushed him to the ground and ran away. When the bird got home he realised his money was gone so he searched the entire forest until the mouse saw him and said, “The bear stole your money.” They called the forest police and Bear was arrested. Since the mouse was honest the bird gave him a small share of his money.

English fable excerpt

One dark afternoon as the falcon was wandering across the beautiful valley he bumped into a small mouse. “You just bumped into my powerful wings, you little mouse! You should be ashamed of yourself”, the falcon said, annoyed. “What do you mean?” the mouse asked. “You literally spread your wings which blocked my view and I bumped into you.” The falcon walked away annoyed. He flew back to his warm nest and slept comfortably with no worries. The next morning he set off for some food. As he tried to catch a rabbit he fell into a deep pit that broke his strong wing. Because of his broken wing he was unable to fly out of the pit. He tried over and over again until he eventually gave up and prayed someone would find him. Hours later, the same mouse that he bumped into saw him laying down tired and weak.

English fable excerpt

Long ago, in a hollow tree on the forest floor, lived a squirrel by the name of Sammy. Sammy was humble, wise, appreciative of what he had and the complete opposite of his neighbor Carl. Carl was a crow who lived in a nest of tangled twigs on the highest branch of the tree. He was greedy and always unsatisfied with what he had.

During autumn, Sammy collected and stored acorns, ensuring he would be prepared for the winter by the time it came. As Sammy gathered his acorns, Carl watched from above, seeing every acorn and thinking to himself, “ I shall steal all of those for myself.” As winter began, Sammy sat in his cozy hollow tree and enjoyed his delicious acorns. Meanwhile Carl sat in his nest plotting a mischievous plan to steal Sammy’s acorns.

The Lion Vs The Tiger

One day, Lion was casually walking across the lush greenery and admiring the giant trees. Suddenly, he heard a mysterious sound. Lion stood dead still, trying to determine what it was. He soon discovered that it was a bunch of monkeys and a tiger speaking. The Tiger said, “I am the strongest and most vicious animal in the jungle”. When the lion heard this, he became very upset.

While Tiger was speaking with the bunch of monkeys, Lion appeared and said, “I challenge you to duel and whoever wins will be the strongest and most vicious animal in the whole jungle, but if you lose, you will have to embarrass yourself in front of the entire jungle”. Tiger agreed and laughed at the lion. Soon the intense fight began. The Lion was losing badly and was getting destroyed. The Tiger grinned in an evil way. Lion begged for mercy and Tiger gave in and showed mercy. After that defeat, Lion was badly injured and ashamed of himself because he lost and had to embarrass himself in front of the entire jungle. That was the agreement that Lon made with Tiger.

Lion, after embarrassing himself in front of the entire jungle, thought to himself, “Am I going to give up just because I lost “. Lion chose not to and trained even harder than before, even though he had a bad injury. Soon the Lion returned and asked for a rematch. Tiger agreed, and the match started. The lion threw a big punch and knocked the Tiger down.

Moral of the Story:

Never give up even when faced with challenges.

The Fox and the Hippo

In the jungle, was a cunning Fox who loved playing tricks on others. He had a talent for jumping extremely high. He was very proud of his talent and bragged to other animals that he could jump the highest.

Hippo, one of the animals, was kind, calm and determined. He was the quiet type but never gave up. Unfortunately, he wasn’t any good at jumping.

Whenever the Fox visited the Hippo, he bragged about jumping and the Hippo was left feeling awful.

One morning, the Fox went to the Hippo with a sly grin on his face. The Fox said to the Hippo, ”I want to challenge you to a high jump competition in the next three days and whoever jumps the highest wins.” The Hippo accepted the challenge with excitement as this was his opportunity to beat the Fox.

For the next three days the Fox roamed the jungle and bragged about his incredible jumping ability, while the Hippo began his training by practicing jumping. He persevered daily and never gave up.

Finally on the third day the Hippo learnt how to jump. The competition started and the Fox went first. He jumped six feet high. Next was the Hippo’s turn. He jumped 10 feet high! Everyone cheered loudly. The Fox was in shock and accused the Hippo of cheating but no one could hear him because of the loud crowd.

The Goofy Dog and The Stern Leopard

In a quiet town hidden deep in the jungle, there lived a goofy but kindhearted dog. He loved making other animals laugh and always tried to brighten their day. His favorite place in town was the treat shop, filled with delicious cookies, bones, and snacks. But there was one problem—the shop was run by a stern leopard who almost never smiled. Every day, the dog chattered cheerfully and tried to be friendly, yet the leopard stayed serious and distant. Still, the dog never let the leopard’s grumpiness bother him.

One cold and windy morning, the dog visited the shop as usual. To his surprise, the leopard wasn’t at the counter. Instead, a panda stood there, scanning items. “Where’s the leopard today?” the dog asked. The panda shrugged. “We don’t know. He never came in.” Curious but not too worried, the dog paid for his treats and left. On the way home, he noticed a car had crashed into a ditch. Hurrying closer, he realized the leopard was trapped beneath it. “Leopard! Are you okay?” the dog shouted. Without hesitation, he pushed and pulled with all his strength. After a long struggle, he finally managed to drag the leopard to safety.

The leopard was shaken but alive. “You saved my life,” he said. “How can I ever repay you?” The dog smiled. “You don’t need to repay me. Just try to be kinder.”

From that day on, the leopard’s attitude began to change. His world became brighter because one goofy dog showed him the power of happiness and kindness.

Moral of the story: “A happy heart can change the hearts around it.”

The Savannah of Unity by Yaqeen Ebrahim

Deep in the vast African Savannah, animals lived under the rule of the mighty lion king, Thor. Thor was arrogant and believed only the strong deserved respect. All animals feared him. The hyenas were looked down upon the most because of their laughter. Among them stood Ziggy, a young, intelligent hyena. He believed no animal should live in fear and that all animals, big and small, were important.

This year, the savannah faced its worst drought. Watering holes dried up, food became scarce, and animals fought. The wise elephant Jabu called a meeting to bring peace, but no one listened. Thor shouted, “I will do what I want! The strongest will survive!”

Ziggy visited Jabu, Thabo the zebra, and Themba the hornbill. “Alone, we don’t stand a chance. But together, we are powerful,” he said.

They worked together. Jabu searched for water, Themba gathered leaves, and Thabo dug a deep hole. Ziggy rallied the monkeys, giraffes, and flamingos. Within days, a spring bubbled up. The animals had a new watering hole, enough for all. Thor rushed to take over, but Jabu said, “We built this together!” Thabo added, “We will protect it together!” Ziggy declared, “No more fear!”

From that day, the Savannah was peaceful and fair. Yaqeen Ebrahim
