CIRCULAR NO. 10
26 March 2015
Dear Parents
“EMPTY POCKETS NEVER HELD ANYONE BACK.
ONLY EMPTY HEADS AND EMPTY HEARTS CAN DO THAT
By Green Monk
Hearing them out!
The Cockcroft girls during a lesson on the “Circulatory System”
1) ACADEMICS
As the term draws to an end, we are busy completing our academic 1st
Term programme and all
the other activities that fall in between. We can be proud of our achievements so far this year. Our
academic awards, athletics, a good term for our 1st
Team and U14A cricketers, summer league
hockey, swimming, and the highly entertaining Mr and Miss FHS pageant.
We have an exciting sporting activity this weekend with the Brackenfell Sports Event happening on
Friday and Saturday of this week. We invite you to attend these sporting activities.
Please be reminded of the Grades 9 - 12 English and Afrikaans Papers 3 that will be written on
Monday and Tuesday of next week.
Some important tests and exams still remain to be completed and we ask all pupils to keep
focused until the term ends.
We still have a number of activities going forward:
Friday, 27 March - Brackenfell Sport Day
Saturday, 28 March - Brackenfell Sport Day
Monday, 30 March - Gr. 8 – 12 English – Paper 3 Exam
Tuesday, 31 March - Gr. 8 – 12 Afrikaans – Paper 3 Exam

PARENT CONSULTATIVE EVENINGS
Please be aware of the opportunity that parents have to consult with the teachers of their children
in the second week of next term and we strongly urge parents to make bookings for these
evenings as soon as possible..
 Grades 8 – 9 Monday, 20 April
 Grades 10 – 12 Tuesday, 21 April
Details and a booking form will be enclosed with the first term report.
We hope that our Grade 8’s have by now settled into their new school and that they, like the rest of
our school, are looking forward to the winter terms. Next term is our examination term where all
grades will write their mid-year examinations. Parents may access the exam timetable on our
website. Of note is the number of teaching days that our Matrics have until they leave to write their
Finals. The table below indicates that there are just 77 teaching days remaining and that our
Grade 12’s will be wise to start the new term in earnest to prepare for the three major approaching
exams.
We thank our Teachers, Pupils and Parents for their support this term.
SCHOOL REPORTS
School reports will be released next Wednesday, 1 April 2015.
Each report envelope will contain:
1. Term 1 Report
2. Booking sheet for parent consultative evening
3. June exam time table

EXAM TIMETABLES
Please note that the June Exam Timetables (Grades 8 – 12) have been uploaded to the Fairmont
High School website.
An urgent reminder to all parents!
Please remember to consult the Exam Timetables before making
holiday arrangements. Should a learner not write exams and they
have not been booked off for medical reasons, the pupil will be given
a “zero” for that exam.

from the parent requesting this. No emails!

Westering Sport Tour leaves
5) BOYS’ HOCKEY TOUR TO HOLLAND
“It was an extremely long flight to reach our
destination in Holland as we departed from
Cape Town and stopped off at Dubai, before
leaving for Amsterdam.
We spent the first day in Amsterdam
exploring the city and the boys did a lot of
shopping. These boys are shopping more
than women.
We had a training session with a Dutch
coach. Thus far it has been incredible. A lot
of the boys hired bikes on our off-day in
Amsterdam and saw different parts of the city.
We visited the Anne Frank museum, and had
the most amazing fun at Snow World where
the boys skied and snowboarded.
The hockey has been just as great with the 1st
team winning 3 out of 3 games so far, and the 2nd
team winning 1 and losing 2. We also got to
watch a Hoofdeklasse match in Holland which was
a huge eye opener for the boys. We are looking
forward to the next 9 days and can't wait to share
the rest of our journey with you.
Congratulations to the following girls for making the WP U18 Hockey Squad and non-travelling
reserves:
Girls’ Hockey WP Squad
 Julia Masureik
 Candice Earley
 Teagan Crament
Non-travelling reserves:
 Cayley Jones
 Courtney Clother-Sinclair
Well done to the U14A girls’ and boys’ teams for a very successful D.F. Malan Tournament.
The boys where unbeaten, and the girls won 4 games and only lost 2 games. The girls beat both
D.F. Malan and Stellenberg.
Good luck to the hockey girls taking part in the Brackenfell Tournament.
Reminder to follow: @FairmontHockey on twitter.” Robert Goslett
6) PARENT FORUM
Appeal for Props for Annual Production
Every second year, Fairmont’s actors, singers and dancers put on
an Annual Production. This year, we look forward to another
original production from our talented script writer,
Mr Fanie Basson. Although the Production will take place in
August, there are a couple of props that may prove a little difficult
to source and so we are asking Fairmont families for help in
sourcing these early. We are looking for pieces of antique furniture
similar to those shown below. If any Fairmont families have any
which they would be willing to sell, donate or lend to the school, we
would be grateful if you would contact us. Alternatively if you have
contacts in the antique furniture business, perhaps you could help
us?

MATRIC EXPERIENCE EXPO 2015
Last year saw the Parent Forum embarking on a new fund-raising venture in the form of a Matric
Dance Expo.
The event, titled MD-X, was popular amongst both exhibitors and visitors, and proved to be quite a
success.
This year, we are planning on doing things on a much larger scale……….Go Big or Go Home they
say!
The expo, which will be titled MEˣ, will include all aspects of the complete Matric Experience, and
will take place from the 21 - 24 May 2015, at the TYGERVALLEY SHOPPING CENTRE!
We are very excited to be partnering with the Tygervalley Centre Management team, as well as
with Cream Library, an events company, in planning this event!
Watch this space for more information, fantastic opportunites, and news about absolutely
awesome competitions and prizes!

8) LIBRARIAN’S CHOICE
THE KEEPER
by MARGUERITE POLAND
When lighthouse keeper Hannes Harker is posted to a
remote island with his wife, he discovers something long-
hidden in the tower that caused him to lose his footing
and fall. Seriously injured, Hannes is evacuated to
hospital and nursed back to health by Sister Rika, to
whom he haltingly tells the story of his life: of his mother’s
mysterious death, of his wild young wife, Aletta, and of
the desolate island inhabited only by the lighthouse
keepers and guano workers – two communities confined
together, yet rigidly separated in one of the bleakest
places on earth. With the arrival of a figure from Aletta’s
past, her own secrets erupt into the present, just as the
simmering tensions and injustices endured for so long by
the guano workers erupt into a single, shocking act of
violence.
The Keeper is the story of two generations of lighthouse
keepers – men obsessed by their duty to the light – and
the wives who accompany them into a life of frightening
isolation.

10) WON LIFE : VOLUNTEER AT OUR LITERACY CENTRE
The Literacy Centre, run in Fisantekraal, is a volunteer-driven organization that relies on willing
members of the public to volunteer their time reading with those learners eager to learn this very
important milestone.
With each volunteer, Won Life is able to extend their reach and really make a difference in the
community of Fisantekraal. If you can spare an hour or two each week, please email Won Life on:
info@wonlife.org.za
Watching the faces of these children as they reach each small milestone will give you a great
sense of reward.
11) SPORT RESULTS
RUGBY - Boland Landbou School Mutual & Federal Agri Rugby Day
This tournament was held at Boland
Landbou School in the lovely
countryside of Agter-Paarl, with
spectacular views.
Fairmont played the first game against
Langenhoven Gimnasium,
Oudsthoorn. What a cracker of an
opener with the game being played at
great pace and determination. Our
opponents were too strong for us and
Fairmont unfortunately went down 3
tries to none. The morale was a bit
low but, after a good team talk, the
boys overcame the defeat and were
ready to move on.
Our last game was played against
Paulus Joubert, Paarl. The boys
understood the seriousness of this
game and, with good warm-up exercises, began to prepare themselves for their last game of the
day. A real spirited effort was unfolding with Paulus Joubert having a backline that was quick and
fancy.
Fairmont’s game plan was to take it on upfront and be patient before unleashing their backs. The
battle was immense and the boys shifted up a gear to front up to this tough opposition. When the
end whistle blew, Fairmont walked off the field scoring 3 tries and the opponents none.
I would like to congratulate every player for the manner in which they played, with true
sportsmanship on and off the field.
A big thank you to our parents for their support; we can look forward to a very exciting 2016
season.
Mr “Ou Pappa Bear” Cronje
CRICKET

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Fairmont community and pupils of our school for all
they have done for our school this term. Without the support from our parents and the enthusiastic
input from our pupils, we would not be able to enjoy the great achievements we enjoy at Fairmont.
A special thank you to our staff for all they have done for our pupils during this term.
I wish all parents, our staff and pupils a happy vacation, and we look forward to Term 2 of 2015.
Yours sincerely
Mr R Dingley

Please be reminded of the Grades 9 - 12 English and Afrikaans Papers 3 that will be written on Monday and Tuesday of next week. Some important tests and exams still remain to be completed and we ask all pupils to keep focused until the term ends.

We spent the first day in Amsterdam exploring the city and the boys did a lot of shopping. These boys are shopping more than women. We had a training session with a Dutch coach. Thus far it has been incredible. A lot of the boys hired bikes on our off-day in Amsterdam and saw different parts of the city. We visited the Anne Frank museum, and had the most amazing fun at Snow World where the boys skied and snowboarded. The hockey has been just as great with the 1st team winning 3 out of 3 games so far, and the 2nd team winning 1 and losing 2. We also got to watch a Hoofdeklasse match in Holland which was a huge eye opener for the boys. We are looking forward to the next 9 days and can't wait to share the rest of our journey with you.

This year, we look forward to another original production from our talented script writer, Mr Fanie Basson. Although the Production will take place in August, there are a couple of props that may prove a little difficult to source and so we are asking Fairmont families for help in sourcing these early. We are looking for pieces of antique furniture similar to those shown below. If any Fairmont families have any which they would be willing to sell, donate or lend to the school, we would be grateful if you would contact us. Alternatively if you have contacts in the antique furniture business, perhaps you could help us?

  • 12. MATRIC EXPERIENCE EXPO 2015 Last year saw the Parent Forum embarking on a new fund-raising venture in the form of a Matric Dance Expo. The event, titled MD-X, was popular amongst both exhibitors and visitors, and proved to be quite a success. This year, we are planning on doing things on a much larger scale……….Go Big or Go Home they say! The expo, which will be titled MEˣ, will include all aspects of the complete Matric Experience, and will take place from the 21 - 24 May 2015, at the TYGERVALLEY SHOPPING CENTRE! We are very excited to be partnering with the Tygervalley Centre Management team, as well as with Cream Library, an events company, in planning this event! Watch this space for more information, fantastic opportunites, and news about absolutely awesome competitions and prizes! 7) MOTHERS WHO PRAY CALLING ALL MOTHERS! A very warm welcome is extended to all moms wishing to join our “Mothers Who Pray” group. We meet every Wednesday, at 07h30, in the Boardroom of Fairmont High School. Please come and join us, or contact Amanda (072 072 1047 8) LIBRARIAN’S CHOICE THE KEEPER by MARGUERITE POLAND When lighthouse keeper Hannes Harker is posted to a remote island with his wife, he discovers something long- hidden in the tower that caused him to lose his footing and fall. Seriously injured, Hannes is evacuated to hospital and nursed back to health by Sister Rika, to whom he haltingly tells the story of his life: of his mother’s mysterious death, of his wild young wife, Aletta, and of the desolate island inhabited only by the lighthouse keepers and guano workers – two communities confined together, yet rigidly separated in one of the bleakest places on earth. With the arrival of a figure from Aletta’s past, her own secrets erupt into the present, just as the simmering tensions and injustices endured for so long by the guano workers erupt into a single, shocking act of violence. The Keeper is the story of two generations of lighthouse keepers – men obsessed by their duty to the light – and the wives who accompany them into a life of frightening isolation.

  • 14. 11) SPORT RESULTS RUGBY - Boland Landbou School Mutual & Federal Agri Rugby Day This tournament was held at Boland Landbou School in the lovely countryside of Agter-Paarl, with spectacular views. Fairmont played the first game against Langenhoven Gimnasium, Oudsthoorn. What a cracker of an opener with the game being played at great pace and determination. Our opponents were too strong for us and Fairmont unfortunately went down 3 tries to none. The morale was a bit low but, after a good team talk, the boys overcame the defeat and were ready to move on. Our last game was played against Paulus Joubert, Paarl. The boys understood the seriousness of this game and, with good warm-up exercises, began to prepare themselves for their last game of the day. A real spirited effort was unfolding with Paulus Joubert having a backline that was quick and fancy. Fairmont’s game plan was to take it on upfront and be patient before unleashing their backs. The battle was immense and the boys shifted up a gear to front up to this tough opposition. When the end whistle blew, Fairmont walked off the field scoring 3 tries and the opponents none. I would like to congratulate every player for the manner in which they played, with true sportsmanship on and off the field. A big thank you to our parents for their support; we can look forward to a very exciting 2016 season. Mr “Ou Pappa Bear” Cronje

  • 18. 17) PRINCIPAL I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Fairmont community and pupils of our school for all they have done for our school this term. Without the support from our parents and the enthusiastic input from our pupils, we would not be able to enjoy the great achievements we enjoy at Fairmont. A special thank you to our staff for all they have done for our pupils during this term. I wish all parents, our staff and pupils a happy vacation, and we look forward to Term 2 of 2015. Yours sincerely Mr R Dingley PRINCIPAL Disclaimer: Fairmont High School does not necessarily endorse the products/services advertised in this circular.
