FROM THE OFFICE
“When you focus on being a blessing, God makes sure that you are always blessed in abundance.” – Joel Osteen
We feel blessed and thankful for the beautiful rain we have received recently. We are also blessed with the wonderful learners who are part of our school. May our learners’ lives and deeds be blessed for the rest of the year.
We are delighted with our U10 A Cricket team who won the Titans’ Big School A-League. Congratulations! We are proud of you.

YADAH
This week we pray for God’s hand of mercy and grace over our school. With the examination starting and the Foundation Phase busy with their last stretch of the year, we ask for God’s blessing, protection and peace for every child, teacher, and parent. We pray for an awareness of God’s influence in our lives and that He will provide everyone with the strength and perseverance to complete this year in the best possible way.

SING IN MIDSTREAM
Sing in Midstream is back and is going to be better than before. This year there will be old school sing-along Christmas carols for the whole family to enjoy. Join us from 17h00 on 27 November at Midstream Ridge Primary for a celebration with community, Christmas family photographs, fun for kids, refreshments and a bite to eat. Book your tickets from R50 at Quicket .
We will have 2 x R1000 SPAR vouchers as spot prizes during the evening. Together with Spar we are running a Charity Comfort Box initiative this year. It’s very simple - choose and remove a tag from the Christmas tree at the entrance of either of the Spar stores and scan it at the cashier. Your comfort box will be packed and added to the collection bin. Your comfort box will be first-line assistance for children, women, and men who have been victims of Gender Based Violence, rape, and human trafficking. Our support this year goes towards The Epic Foundation and Yenzani Children's Home.
