We wish that we could come to school every day in our pyjamas, gown and slippers! What a happy pyjama day the Grade R girls had celebrating the Winter Solstice yesterday.
Attached is a thank you letter to the Brescia House School community for the generous gift of clothing, toys etc that was donated to Kids Haven in May this year. Thank you to all for your kind contributions.

The grade 11 Geography class went on their outing to the top of the Magaliesberg on Thursday 14th June. The weather really helped to make this an in-depth Geography experience, as the girls also experienced cold front weather. Nonetheless, they went ahead and investigated the ridge, the poort where the dam wall was built and the impact of the ridge and the dam on settlement patterns and lines of communication. They ended off the day with lunch at Chameleon Village, as it was more sheltered from the elements, and got to speak to the craft market traders about the pros and cons of having a stall in this area.
