Moral of the story: Every

FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK: In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. He then hid himself and watched to see if anyone would move the boulder out of the way. Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many people loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none of them did anything about getting the stone out of the way. A peasant then came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to push the stone out of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant went back to pick up his vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King explaining that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.

Moral of the story: Every obstacle we come across in life gives us an opportunity to improve our circumstances, and whilst the lazy complain, the others are creating opportunities through their kind hearts, generosity and willingness to get things done.

GRADE 6 CAMP

Dear Parent / Guardian and Grade 6 Learner After a very successful camp last year it is time now for your child to be involved in a very worthy and valuable activity! The Grade 6 Camp is around the corner, 21 to 23 September, 2018. The goal is to develop your child with regards to their personal and interpersonal leadership skills. They will experience team building activities, receive leadership training and be challenged to grow in their ability to persevere and to work in a team. The Principal, Deputy Principals and a whole team of Disa Staff members will accompany your child. The camp will be held at a venue close to Grabouw, 75KM outside of Cape Town called Mizpah Camp. To ensure that your child gets the best leadership development and personal development (whilst having loads of fun and meaningful experiences) you will be responsible to contribute R350. The total cost of the camp, (including meals, accommodation, transport costs, team build, bedding etc.) is close to R 1500. The Andreas and Susan Struengmann Foundation has indicated their willingness to support your child by subsidizing the rest of the cost. You can make payments with regards to the R350: End February – R50; end March – R50; end April – R50; end May – R50; end June – R50; July – R50; end August – R50. Payments can be made at Reception, or sent to school with your child for payment in class via the Money Book. Please do not delay this process as we would like to see that EVERY child gets this opportunity and that no one is left behind.
