Last night 15 of our girls were recognized for their outstanding achievement in the Horizon Maths Competition. These girls were ranked in the top 200 achievers in the Cape. There were 16 500 participants drawn from 142 primary schools nationally.

We are particularly proud of Irena Nolte, a grade 6 pupil at Oakhurst. Not only was she the top Oakhurst achiever but she was also placed 3rd in the Cape (top girl) and 6th in the country.

We hope these results will encourage all our pupils to strive for excellence.

On 8 June, the whole school played soccer and learned the Disky Dance.

Each grade had two teams, representing 14 of the nations playing in the upcoming world cup. All the girls dressed up in the colours of their team for the day. At the end of Soccer Day there was a prize-giving ceremony, where the winning teams each got a prize.

The grade 6 class had their own market stall selling soccer memorabilia, snacks and goodies as part of the Entrepreneurship course.

Guest speakers were Sam Wilson, editor-in-chief of Cape Town Child Magazine, who entertained the guests with the stories of her time at Oakhurst. She was followed by Candice Foggerty, an accessories buyer for the Foschini group. Candice filled the guests in on the fashion trends for the season ahead.

Oakhurst was a buzz of excitement and activity on Football Friday as we tried to generate a bit of excitement for the World Cup. There were vuvuzelas and makarobas aplenty. We look forward to our Oakhurst Soccer Day on Tuesday 8 June.
