LAUNCHING THIS YEAR!

THE NORTHWEST CHRISTIAN SCHOOL YEARBOOK 2010

Exciting news! We are launching an annual, full-colour yearbook for Northwest Christian School, a high-quality glossy book that will feature every child in the school, as well as all the other events and activities that made 2010 a memorable year for NWCS.

With 80 full-colour pages produced by a professional editor and graphic designer, the Yearbook 2010 will be a high-quality reminder of each child’s school year.

We would like to invite parents who have small, medium and corporate businesses to make their businesses a part of the Northwest Christian community, by advertising within the publication.

As a family, you can also take a message for just R100 which will appear on a page in the yearbook.
But act soon because spaces are going fast. With limited ad spaces on offer, we are giving NWCS parents first priority, giving you first option on ad space until the end of August.
AD OPPORTUNITIES

  • Sponsor the Learners section, or the Extra murals and Sport section (a full-page ad plus branding within the yearbook, including on the cover).
  • Sponsor the “Signatures” page, on the inside back cover.
  • Take a full-page ad on the inside front cover, and outside back cover.
  • There are a limited number of half-page ads around the yearbook, with places still available with the class photos of Grades R, 1, 2, 6 and 7.
  • Place your full-colour business card in the “Marketplace” section.


Contact Madelein Foreman-Campbell on 082-786-3801, or at madmad @ icon {dot} co {dot} za before the end of August 2010 to book your ad, request a ratecard or view the yearbook’s flatplan.

Class in progress

Thanks to Mr Mansfield for these great photos of the construction of the new classrooms

Up went the walls...



On went the roof and cutting the windows


In went the window frames


Making the veranda, putting on the doors

All nicely carpeted and painted

Ceilings in and lights fitted

And then the pupils moved in, decorated and now class is in session


Here too is a photo of the budding musicians learning the marimba (or xylophone)

Knit one Purl one

Mrs Renwick, who teachers Grade 3, is a very busy lady.  She helps out with knitting for some very needy children.... you can read more about it in this article published in the Northcliff Times a few weeks back:

If you have any spare wool that you would like to donate to these knitters, please drop it off at the office, or contact Mrs Renwick directly.

Interhouse Athletics

The Interhouse Athletics was a great success.... held on Saturday 24th July.  The results are in:
