Oakhill hosts its first ever Rugby Festival

admin — Tue, 15 May 2012 09:33:26 +0000

On Saturday the 12th of May 2012 history was made as Oakhill School successfully hosted its first ever Rugby Festival. Glenwood House from George sent an u16 and u18 team. Knysna Secondary split both their u16 and u18 squads, big enough for 15 man rugby into two 7’s squads to form eight teams, four from each age group participating.

For Oakhill, the spotlight was mainly on the u16 team, who managed two convincing wins against both Knysna Secondary teams and a narrow defeat to the Glenwood u16s. For the u18 side things were a lot tougher and they were not able to win any of their three games, but competed well throughout the day.

A very successful day from all aspects and great experience gained for the Oakhill rugby players.

Prep Mother’s Day Celebrations

If someone asked me to describe the Prep Mother’s Day Celebration today, just in a sentence : “A school hall filled with love and adoration.” – Barbie Leibbrandt

Mother’s Day at Little Oaks

admin — Thu, 10 May 2012 12:26:38 +0000

It was a Happy Mother’s Day at Little Oaks this morning.

There were smiles of delight as the little ones shared their songs with Moms, some waving madly to catch Mom’s attention. Then off to their classrooms to write poems of love with Mom and to make and decorate clay pendants, symbols of their love for one another.
Moms enjoyed cups of tea and muffins whilst their happy children had fun in the play areas.

Hard to keep away from the love that abounds on our Oakhill campus.

Matric Monologue Evening at Oakhill – 4 May 2012

admin — Thu, 10 May 2012 10:35:37 +0000

The Matric Drama students of 2012 produced some spectacular performances, with a variety of comic, dramatic and interesting monologues. They left the audience spellbound and amazed by their unexpected talents. There were interesting set designs; James Boomer managed to get a motor bike on the stage and some simply used a chair. Maya Rose Torrao even mixed some singing with her monologue using a loud haler – “all you gotta do is jump over the moon.”

I was so impressed with the performance levels of these crazy, original, wacky, hipster matric drama students who were on stage solo for the first time in front of an audience. I have no doubt that this rowdy bunch will continue to amaze audiences throughout the year. I can’t wait for their next performance!
