WELL DONE
I cannot believe how quickly this year has
flown by. We have had a remarkably
successful year with most of our pupils.
They are the ones we dedicate our
energies to. The sporting results have been
very good. We have won most of our
matches. The few losses have helped to
keep our feet on the ground and have
prevented us from becoming complacent.
The number of children achieving awards
and recognition in outside activities is also
very pleasing. The cultural successes of
our children are to be commended. The
chess team achieved excellent results until
the play-offs. We now know what we need
to do to give King David a really good
match next year.
Thank you to all who have worked so hard
to assist our children.

COLOURING-IN COMPETITION
Brittany Gallacher and Christie
Woolmington of Grade 4S, won a
colouring-in competition and each won a
prize as well as money for the school. Well
done!
DIETARY BITES
The importance of Fibre
Dietary fibre, is the indigestible part of plant
foods, and performs many important
functions in the body. Many people still
believe that fibre should be limited in a
child’s diet, but adequate fibre is as
essential in children as it is in adults. Fibre
together with adequate water and positive
encouragement of regular evacuation can
prevent and manage constipation. In
addition fibre can prevent colon cancer,
diabetes and cardiovascular disease and
improve gut health by encouraging the
growth of beneficial bacteria in the colon,
and thereby boost the immunity. And apart
from its nutritional benefits, fibre
consumption also encourages oral and
speech development.

GET INVOLVED
This is just a “heads-up” that we want you
to get involved in 2007. Our Bryandale
Parents’ Association (BPA) is an essential
mechanism serving THREE Primary
functions…
• Communication
(between Parents and Teachers)
• Caring
(for Bryandalians in need)
• Collecting Funds
(since govt. gives us very little)
And how does this affect YOU the Parent
of a Bryandalian? Well, it’s quite simple
really, our Parents get involved so they can
have a constructive and positive effect on
the way things are done in our school. And,
while there is a small “core” group that
accepts Portfolios for the entire year, we
always need additional assistance from lots
of Parents to fulfill these three functions.
We need help in various ways and you
should try and find something that is
relatively easy for you to do that perhaps
other people are not as well suited to as
you are. For example, you may work for a
company that provides products and/or
services that can assist the school – like
gardens, printing, maintenance etc. Or, can
assist with products which can be
leveraged for fund-raising purposes – for
example cold drinks, chips, tents, hot dog
stands etc. In this way you get to play a key
role in helping Bryandale to provide the
best possible education possible while still
keeping our school fees amongst the
lowest in our area.
Or, you may just be a regular mom who
can help out a few times during the year by
serving coffee and biscuits at school
meetings. Or even a regular dad who can
man a braai at a fund-raiser. You name it, it
helps!
Early in next year we’ll ask you to step
forward and let us know that you’re both
willing and able to contribute in some small
way. Perhaps you can even give us an
indication of any “special contacts” you
may have that make this all so much easier
to accomplish?
We look forward to working TOGETHER
with ALL Parents to make Bryandale the
best it can be for our Children.

The following boys, Rogan de Wit, the twins
Tyler and Travis, Alan Hector, Brian Leitch
and Aaron Middleton all played for our
U/11 B side and they performed
extraordinarily well. They sometimes had to
play other clubs’ A-sides and still they
managed to win these games, and win well!
The other boy that represented our A-side
was Sheldon de Robillard. Sheldon has been
an integral part of our A-side. Last year he
played lock and this year we played him at
flank, with huge success! Our A-side was
unbeaten in the Golden Lions League for
junior clubs for the last two years and they
had no points scored against them for the
past two seasons – not a single try! After
their excellent performance in the Lions

League the boys were invited to play against

exceptionally well and won the game 29-0!
Not only were all these boys instrumental in
all our successes but they also impressed
with their sportsmanship. I have to
congratulate your school with the boys’
behavior on and off the field, they were a
real example to the boys from other schools.
Not once did they even come close to not
showing real sportsmanship. I’m convinced
that your school had a huge part to play in
teaching the boys these values. Thanks you
very much – your school has made our jobs a
lot easier…
Please be kind enough to acknowledge these
boys and their extramural achievements –
they really deserve it!!!
Kind regards
