St Dominic’s Junior

School Newsletter A Note from Mrs Van Dyk’s Desk

Welcome back to all our Grade 1 to 7 Girls, Parents and Staff! I hope that you all enjoyed the holidays and that you found the time to re-lax, have fun and spend precious moments with your family and friends. As we begin the third term we realise how quickly the year is going by . Let us all make the most of each day and cherish all that the Lord has blessed us with. “A little boy went into a fishing equipment store to buy twenty five cents worth of worms. He asked, ‘Mister, how many worms do I get for a quarter ?’ the man replied,’ Son don’t worry. I’ll do right by ya’. Life is too short to be countin’ worms.”

Life is too short. Learn to savour time,

To treat it as the precious gift it is. Quotes taken from ‘Pathway to Success’ by Lissy M.

Condolences

You are in our prayers! We express our sincere condolences to the following staff members who lost loved ones during the holidays:-

Mrs Van Praag’s father passed away, Sr Helen’s father passed away, Mrs Blunden’s father passed away and Mrs Bradbury’s brother-in-law passed away. We pray that God will strengthen each one of you and your families during this difficult time in your lives.

We also express our sympathy to the Clementi Family, whose daugh-ter Nicole , a past pupil of St Dominic’s was killed in a motorcar acci-dent on the 20 August. Please keep these people in your prayers.

Hockey News

Well done to our under 11 hockey girls! They have made it through to the quarter fi-nals of the Eastern Gauteng Hockey League which will take place later this month. This is a fantastic achievement for our u/11 s. Our team is young, with many new girls, who have only played together for this season. If the spirit and hard work of this team is anything to go by- we look forward to many more successful seasons. Well done girls and coaches. Keep up the great job!

Four of these girls also made it through to the Eastern Gauteng trials taking place later this year. Well done Tamika Ashton, Lenita Silva, Kayla Victor and Olivia Os-termeyer. Good luck to each of you, give it your best shot.
