The Incredible Dog Show

The Foundation and Intermediate Phase learners were treated to a wonderful display of doggy tricks at the Incredible Dog Show held at Hermannsburg Deutsche Schule on 8 June. Even though the weather was very cold, the dogs performed brilliantly. Lloyd Bristow, the owner and trainer of the four world-class performing dogs, explained the very special relationship that he has with his dogs. He taught the learners how to look after dogs and fulfill their needs. The star of the show, however, was the little poodle ‘Vibe’ and he certainly lived up to his name. Lloyd Bristow is planning to travel to Belgium with Vibe later in the year. Check out his webpage at www.dogzcool.com.

Physical Science and Life Sciences are subjects that receive a great deal of attention in the 2nd term. The Senior Phase learners must produce an expo project. It is assessed and forms part of their term mark. Other learners are also welcome to produce projects with the aim of entering the next stage of the competition which is the Eskom Durban Expo held on 31 July 2009.

This year there was a hall full of innovative and interesting projects all of which aimed to prove something. They were assessed by a panel of judges who selected a large number of projects to be displayed at the Durban Expo. Well done to all who took part!
