The Brescia House School girls equestrian team has had a very successful season and hoping to end it off with victories at the finals for those girls who make it through to the finals.

A big thank you to Mrs Lombaard for all her hard work as the chef d'equipe.

Nompumelelo Tshabala in Grade 11 auditioned with the American Academy of Ballet, based in NYC in November 2016 and was offered a scholarship for an intensive 6-week programme incorporating all dance styles. The AAB Summer Programme recruits young dancers from all over the world who show promise, particularly in classical ballet.

However, due to Grade 11 commitments, Mpumi could not take part in the full 6 week programme. She instead opted to do the 2 week programme. The dancers take part in performance/ballet productions at the end of each week of training. Congratulations to Mpumi for this wonderful achievement.

Thank you to the Primary School staff members who have recently undertaken the required Level One First Aid Training through WAI - these teachers have been validated as Level One First Aiders and they were presented with their certificates in the PS Assembly on 21 June, Winter Solstice Day. 

Brescia House is very proud of our very own marathon runner, Brenda Wesi, who completed another Comrades Marathon run in fine style.Brenda overcame a leg injury and persevered with her training to undertake and successfully complete the Comrades Marathon 2017 uprun. Brenda was proudly presented with her Comrades medal at the PS Assembly and the girls were very excited to congratulate her on this achievement. 

The draw for the Typo Hamper took place at the PS Assembly on 21 June 2017. Congratulations to Tim Walter, dad of Cameron and Paige Walter, who was announced as the lucky winner of the hamper. His daughters accepted the Typo Hamper on his behalf and they are going to ask him very nicely if he can share it with them.Thank you to the Gr 6 Class Mums and the Gr 6 girls who successfully ran this raffle to raise funds for the Gr 6 gift to the school.
