A BLAST FROM THE PAST!

Remember these gorgeous young people - now each on an exciting mission of their own?

 It is also wonderful to note that all the teachers in the photograph are still at THE KEEP, and are still helping each new generation of school leavers to give of their very best.

AN ORANGE BELT FOR KIAN

Excellent work Kian! Soon we'll be able to employ you as our personal body guard here at school;)

SCHOOL LEAVERS AND STAFF DINNER

This year Connor, Gomo, Nokubonga, Hannah, Heather, Jemima, Zahraa, Tanika, Tim, Kyle, Ridhwaan, Natalia and Motshedi are writing their final exams and moving into the BIG WORLD beyond school. Our very best wishes accompany them - we know that they will make us proud.

No staff members are leaving, and we are looking forward to a wonderful year next year.

WE ARE GOING TO MISS ALL OF YOU SO MUCH!

AND A VERY SAD GOODBYE TO OUR OUTGOING SRC:

               
                                                       Ridhwaan, Nokubonga and Aaron

Thank you for all your hard work and enthusiasm. Our very best wishes accompany Ridhwaan and Nokubonga on their adventures next year. Aaron will still be at THE KEEP next year as a final year AS level student.

AND A FINAL WORD FROM RIDHWAAN:

I stand here today with a very heavy heart. I cannot believe that the precious five years of my life at THE KEEP LEARNING CENTRE have passed by like a blink of an eye.

My role as RCL has taught me to become more responsible and to take decisive decisions.

In the process, I have also learned that smooth roads will never make good drivers. Calm seas will never make good sailors. Clear skies will never make good pilots and ignorant students will not be strong enough to accept the challenges of life.

I would also like to thank all my teachers for the person I am today.

Ma’am Hetta for always being confident & guiding me through the years.

Sir Chris for being my mentor and teaching me good Business ethics.

Ma’am Lerm for always being my inspiration.

Ma’am Bouwer for all her time and dedication in improving my mathematical skills.

Ma’am Stella for always motivating me in our discussions

Ma’am Piek for her encouragement towards the Computer era.

Ma’am T for the wonderful person she is.

Ma’am Wessels my INSPIRASIE! Wat altyd sE as plan A nie gewerk het nie, die alfabet het nog 25 letters. Bly koel!

Monika - the most amazing person, who does not need anger management classes, always  inspires me by saying “let your smile change the world but don’t let the world change your smile”

Last but not least from the bottom of my heart, I ask all my teachers and colleagues to please forgive me if I’ve hurt your feelings by having said or done anything unknowingly during the course of the years.

There will always be that special place in my heart for all of you and I pray the Lord grant you all the best for the exams and the future.

I leave this school being a proud student of THE KEEP LEARNING CENTRE!!!

THANK YOU!!!

MERIT AWARDS 2017

Kayla and Nanjala shared the TOP MERIT EARNER - GRADES 8 AND 9 award with 59 merits each. Merits are gained for good marks and good work in general, and merits are lost for homework not done,etc. Congratulations to both girls for a wonderful achievement.

Ahmed won the award for TOP MERIT EARNER - O AND A LEVELS with 55 merits. Ahmed has won this prestigious award before. Excellent work, Ahmed!

These students had no demerits at all - which means that all work was always done, and their behaviour was always excellent. Congratulations to Jarred, Motshedi, Gabi, Keara,Ahmed, Natalia, Gommo, Heather, Hannah and Nokubonga!

TOASTMASTERS INTERNATIONAL YOUTH LEADERSHIP COURSE

Early in 2017, Nanjala started a Debating Club at school. A number of students joined the club, and Dr Ian Bratt and Thandeka from Toastmasters International were invited to present a Youth Leadership Course. After the successful completion of the six week course, a Leadership Presentation was held to present the students with their Certificates of Completion, and also to give the students an opportunity to show off the skills they've learnt from Dr Bratt and Thandeka.
