New Green Futures Class of 2010
We are proud to announce that once again, our 2009 Green Future graduates had a 100% pass rate and are actively preparing themselves for the exciting challenges lying ahead. Some of the graduates have been allocated to work at Grootbos, with the vision of becoming nature guides or part of the green team, whilst others have found landscaping jobs elsewhere in the Western Cape.
The new intake of Green Futures started on the 11th of January 2010 and the classroom is already full of enthusiasm and excitement. The teachers have already planned for the students to have a field trip once a month, with their first one already being completed at Salmonsdam. They are also planning to do a lot of landscaping and garden maintenance and hopefully get a landscaping assignment at the new Green Point soccer stadium!
Last week the Green Futures students and staff drove out to Worcester to visit the beautiful and well regarded Karoo National Botanical Garden.
After extensive and dedicated training during the month of September, including an action-packed holiday programme, the Gansbaai u/15 boys’ soccer team was ready to challenge the formidable Santos u/15 team in Cape Town. 18 boys traveled to Cape Town along with their Football Foundation coaches to challenge the Junior side of the “The People’s Team” - Santos 1st Division is currently ranked 5th in PSL fixtures. At first the Gansbaai boys were a little nervous to play the experienced team from Cape Town, but in the second half the put up a strong fight and only conceded one goal. Our boys lost 3-0, but they learnt an immense amount and thoroughly enjoyed the game - the experience was amazing! They even got to watch the Santos u/17’s train which was a bonus.
