Drama Productions
The high school has a very busy drama production programme involving just about all the learners from all classes.  In June this year, drama teacher Nina Saunders produced altogether nine different productions!

At first there were the directing projects by the seven matric students: Sweeney Agonistes; the Lion and the Jewel; Master Harold and the Boys; Sizwe Bansi is Dead; Of Mice and Men; In Camera and finally Salome.

And barely a week later the Class 7's presented their production of Louis MacNiece's Christopher Columbus, and the Class 8's did Robert Bolt’s A Man for all Seasons, about Sir Thomas More.

Such a lot of activity for such a little school!

Katleen's Travelogue 7
The last week before our return home was a busy one because a lot of small things had to still be organized for the Art Action of Friday 22 June. At the same time I had to think about tying up loose ends before flying back to SA.

Wednesday 20 June

Mary was invited to go play at Emma’s house. Emma is a girl from her class who is very curious and always full of questions. I stayed on to talk to Kathy, Emma’s mother and Nancy, the mother of Florian who was also playing there. I was interested in talking to Nancy because she is Indian and adopted long ago.

Katleen's Travelogue 6
Sunday 10 June

A long, long journey by train! Mary and I traveled for 10 hours before finally arriving in Schopfheim, a small town in the Black Forrest Area. Lying deep in the South of Germany and a short distance from the border with Switzerland and France, it has been the home for Michael and Inka Shubert for many years. Michael and Inka have traveled to South Africa almost every year for some years around the time of the Teachers Conferences in April.

Thursday 31 May

Today I scheduled a meeting with the International Department of the KATHO – a campus in Kortrijk which houses various colleges that offer a variety of trainings. Since several years now there is an International Department offering last year students the opportunity to do their Practical Training (usually a 3 month period) abroad. The costs of such a training session is subsidized by the government.

Ascension 17 May

In Belgium a public holiday so everyone enjoyed the beginning of a long weekend. The weather was not all that great – the memory of the April sunny days are far away. But there was a small fair in my hometown which Mary enjoyed very much. Her favorites are the merry go round, the boxing cars and fishing ducks which gives her a small prize at the end.
