Since the beginning of last year Mrs. Heike Hundsdörfer is leading the school library with great commitment and enthusiasm. 31 new books were donated by the Ministry but over 400 book donations were received from the parents community and added to the library already,  more will follow early in 2012.

The existing english books were divided into 2 sections (Grade 3-4 and Grade 5-6) to make it easier for first-readers to find the right book. The same was done with english subject books  and a section with subject books for Grade 3-4 was created.

These books could not be utilised up to now as they were sorted amongst the books which are allowed only from Grade 4 onwards.

The story reading time for 1st graders once a week is still very popular.

During 2011  4141 books were borrowed from the library, this is nearly three times the amount of books compared to the previous year!

Big Walk 2011

On Saturday, June 4th the popular Big Walk took place on Farm Otjompaue South. Splendid weather saw about 575 scholars, many parents, grandparents, relatives and friends enjoying the beautiful scenery on one of three different routes. After the long walk there was time to join up with friends and family in the big tent and spend some time chatting while enjoying good food and cold drinks.

All supporters and helpers a big Thank You!

A special THANK YOU goes to the parents representatives who, together with the parents, collected more than 50 bags of oranges for the Big Walk. The remaining oranges were distributed as 'vitamin injections' to the scholars on Monday.

These scholars were awarded a Thank You certificate for collecting N$ 500.-  and more for the Big Walk:

The 3 biggest amounts were collected by Eduard Zehrt (4000.00), Ricardo Rechter (2200.00) and Nicolai Kubirske (1625.00)

Mr. Kurt Johannesson visited our school on February 4th, World Cancer Day to talk to the students about the risks of cancer and how we can, through good, healthy diet, enough exercise and care, protect ourselves from this terrible disease.

On behalf of DSW, Jessica Willemse and Vernon !Nouiseb handed to Mr. Johannesson an amount of N$ 4930.00, money for the Cancer Association that was collected by the school.
