organised an interesting day and a varied programme
with school tours, subject stands and information on
entry opportunities. Over 70 families, of which we
hope to welcome suitable candidates as new learners,
visited us on that morning.
On 18 March the International Kangaroo Maths
Competition took place with 95 DSP learners taking
part.
In order to enhance our welcome culture a Buddy-
initiative has been started: New learners as well as
their families receive support from families who have
their children at our school. The SEV cooperates and
supports the school management in this initiative. A
few families have already enjoyed the benefit of such
a supportive relationship. Many thanks to the DSP
families who assist us in this!
With their dual school-leaving certificate, the Kombi-
Abitur, which comprises of the German International
Abitur and the National Senior Certificate (NSC) from
the Independent Examination Board (IEB) these
graduates can apply for academic studies in Germany
or anywhere in the world.
Not only our final year class showcased excellent
results but the Kultusministerkonferenz confirmed that
our Grade 10A from 2020 received the laurel for the
best centrally assessed class paper in mathematics in
the whole of Southern Africa! Congratulations!
In line with our mission statement theme for 2021: our
ethical standards based on our Christian values; the
department for religion and ethics has set values for
each quarter. Our first value, charity, played out on
social media with a series of interviews our SV
conducted with staff and learners about their thoughts
on the topic. It culminated with a tour to some partner
schools in Eersterust and Mamelodi.
Here, Dr. Martin Schäfer from the German Embassy
accompanied by our NSek Team Mrs Gabriele
Müller-Sonder and Mrs Olga Appel handed over a
generous donation of ball sports equipment to the
schools. During the visit we also met a former learner,
