1. CIRCULAR NO. 22
23 June 2015
Dear Parent(s) / Guardian(s)
“THE ONLY DISABILITY IN LIFE
IS A BAD ATTITUDE.”
Scott Hamilton
Headboy Aydon Poole and Headgirl Kayleen Adams
welcome Theresa Schuller (middle), an exchange student from Germany.

2. 1) ACADEMICS
Welcome back to school to all our Fairmont families. We trust that everyone had a good time with
their families, and that our pupils are well rested to deal with the content of Term 3.
The holiday recess was productive for many of our pupils and teachers. We had a successful tour
to Westering in Port Elizabeth, and outstanding news from some of our other sporting disciplines.
Well done to our hockey players who were selected for the South African sides! We are truly
proud of your efforts.
Our reports for the June examinations will be released today, and the ILST programme of
assistance for those who did not achieve optimally will be set in motion.
For our matrics, a very busy time lies ahead as they prepare for their trial examinations and the
final examinations that follow shortly after.
Parents are reminded of the academic consultative evenings next week and we hope that you
make plans to meet the teachers of your children.
We wish all our pupils a productive term and hope that they will give their very best with respect to
their academics.

PLEASE NOTE!
All pupils are required to be at school at the regular time - 07h55 - even if they are not writing a
test. This time will be used for consolidation or tasks organized by various subject departments.
All parents are asked to please be aware that when your child misses a Monday or a Thursday
test, a relevant chemist slip (the date on the slip must pertain to the pupil’s absenteeism and
medication bought), a certificate from the clinic or a doctor’s certificate is required. A medical
certificate from either the clinic or the doctor is applicable for missing any exam. A note from you
excusing your child from school for the days missed is also required.
Grade 9 and Matric pupils must produce a doctor’s certificate for tests and exams missed as
these are the two exit phases and their marks are externally moderated by the Education
Department.

5. Learners are not allowed to go home immediately after a test if they are ill. They have to stay until
first break. If they are ill, then they should not come to school. A doctor’s certificate will be
required.

Two of the greatest questions mankind
has ever asked, has been: "What on

purpose in life?" The Alpha Course is
designed to create a space where
questions like these can be asked and
answered.
Alpha is a 10 week course that will be
running on Friday nights at Fairmont High
School. It will be taking place at 19h00 in
the Upper MPC (Multi-Purpose Centre)
and is open to all high schoolers who

and God.
Meals will be provided on these nights (donations accepted - R30 - BUT not required). This is an
open course for all schools and so we encourage you to come along for the journey. All people
from all walks of life with all beliefs are welcome! See you at 19h00 on 24 July 2015!

6. 5) GRADE 9 SUBJECT CHOICE MEETING
On 18 August at 7pm the grade 9s of 2015 will be gathering in the Student Centre for a subject choice meeting
where they will learn about their options for the future. If you have a career that you are passionate about and
are willing to share your experiences, please contact the school office so that you can be available to share a
little bit about your career before or after the meeting with learners and parents who wish to ask questions.
Let us help our youth to make informed decisions about their future. We would love to hear from doctors,
geologists, lawyers, engineers, designers to name but a few.

12. 14) ANNUAL PRODUCTION 2015 : DEADLY DEVIOUS DOMESTICATION
Annual Production 2015
Deadly devious
domestication
12 & 13 AUGUST – R40 PER TICKET
14 AUGUST – GALA EVENING R100 PER TICKET
The housekeepers and butlers of an upper-class neighbourhood of East Village are shaken to
the core when they, together with their employers, become the suspects of a heinous murder.
They are all impressed and uncomfortable to be forced into the limelight. They conduct their
own investigation – mainly by satirically commenting and analysing the nature of their
employers’ characters and lifestyles.
This satire pokes fun with various stereotypes whilst the detective desperately tries to solve
the crime. As an outsider, his task is almost impossible and he finds it difficult to infiltrate this
closely knit community to get to the facts and find what has truly happened.
Tickets on sale from 27 July at the payments
office!

13. 15) LIBRARIAN’S CHOICE
COMING HOME
by Karen Kingsbury
The Baxters make plans to come together for a summer
lakeside reunion in celebration of John Baxter’s seventieth
birthday. But before the big day, the unthinkable happens. As
the Baxter Family rallies together, memories come to light in
the grief-stricken hours of waiting and praying, memories that
bring healing and hope during a time when darkness may
otherwise have had the final word. In a season that changes
all of them, the brilliance of family love overshadows the valley
of heartache. Along the way, secrets are revealed, and the
truth about the Baxter Family history is finally made
known. Ultimately, in this portrait of family love, the Baxters
cling to each other and to God’s promise of forever.

15. 19) HOCKEY UMPIRES COURSE
20) SOCCER REPORT : BOYS’ 1ST
TEAM – EAST LONDON TOUR
This holiday our U19 soccer boys took part in a tour to East London. The tour was extremely
successful. The boys came through with a good set of results winning two, losing two, and
drawing one.
They scored five goals while conceding just two.
The tour was an excellent experience as the competition was intense. Despite this, they fought as
a team and dominated all of the games, and unfortunately their goal scoring abilities let them
down.
Congratulations to the U19 football boys on their great performance. Keep up the hard work!

16. 21) RUGBY REPORT
1st
Team : Fairmont vs Hamlets RFC (Away) - 18 July 2015
What an awesome friendly season game this turned out to be. The spirit throughout the morning
was fantastic even though results did not go Fairmont’s way.
Fairmont had recently returned from a rather successful tour to P.E. earlier in the holidays. The
side welcomed a much needed break from all the bumps and bruises. This resulted in a rather
slow start to return to practices with some still sick/injured or away on holiday.
However, during warm up on this frisky fresh morning, the boys appeared in high spirits despite
witnessing some tough opposition throughout the various age groups earlier. Our opposition
appeared much larger and more physical in stature.
The game got underway just after 11am and this much fancied hosts were seriously in the mood
for running with their athletic looking backs. It was however Fairmont who drew the first points and
dominated most of the possession up front. Early points were put on the board and, despite the
dominance, Fairmont struggled to convert into points after spending a large amount of time within
the Hamlets 22m area.
There was some great enterprise rugby being played by both sides. At the break, Fairmont held
onto a good lead but this was soon eradicated by one or two small errors, losing a scrum on their
own 22m which eventually resulted in a good try by Hamlets; a few missed tackles; and one or two
players being caught out of position. Despite some dubious calls made by the ref and the loss,
Fairmont can feel satisfied with the outing, and a few individuals really stood out. The forwards,
Austin in the line outs, props scrummed well and Mark had a pretty good game with Basjan close
on his heels. The backs however showed tremendous character and the centre pairing of Jordan
and Cade proved to be awesome on attack and defense with some good defense from Siba. The
eventual Man of the Match from Fairmont’s perspective was undoubtedly Keegan van Rensburg.
WOW, what an outstanding performance in defense and on attack.
Despite the loss and some good tries scored by:
Mark Fairhurst x2
Basjan Swanepoel x1

17. Converted by:
Cade Paul x1 Conversion / x1 Penalty
FINAL SCORE: Fairmont 20 : 24 Hamlets RFC
It has to be said that our hosts HAMLET RFC played with some great passion, desire and flair, and
displayed some good running and handling skills. The manner and spirit in which this game was
played and the display of sportsmanship by both teams really kept a nice local crowd well
entertained. It would be a great annual outing before a Derby each year.
Thanks once again to our enthusiastic passionate hosts.

advised to familiarise themselves with the LAN League Bylaws and all Period Specific Rules. If any
Player wishes to provide advice regarding the drafting of the Period Specific Rules they are
encouraged to contact the eSBoC who will take all comments into account.
The following Medals may be awarded at the MSSA's 2015 Western Cape LAN Championship:
 PREMIER: Medals shall be awarded to the first three players who are registered players.
 SCHOLARS: Medals shall be awarded to the first three high school scholars, provided they
have not received any Premier medals.
 UNIVERSITY: Medals shall be awarded to the first three players who are currently registered
at any officially recognised University, provided the players have not received any Premier
Medals.
 WOMEN: Women will be awarded medals as per the same basis as above, that is in all three
categories.
Colours and National Team Trials:
 National Colours: All Players that win all of their Matches at a National Championship will
earn National Colours.
 Provincial Colours: All Players that win all of their Matches at a Provincial Championship will
earn Provincial Colours. All Players who score within the top 50% in a specific Period at a
Provincial Championship, and who also score within the top 50% at a National Championship
in the same period and in the same year, will earn Provincial Colours.
 National Team Trials: All Players that score within the top 20% or top three places, whichever
is greater, in a specific Period at a Provincial or National Championship will earn an invitation
to National Team Trials. National Team Trials shall be held in the event that a National Team
must be selected to represent South Africa when competing in such Period in an International
Championship.
Please note that the MSSA does not carry stock of shirts that are awarded. Registered Players
who are awarded colours will thus be awarded at an event that they attend after being so awarded.
Please note that times may be changed to take into account load-shedding.
