We chatted to our Head of Senior Academic, Mrs Tracy van Molendorff last week to find out how this term has unfolded in the digital space. While heading into an online examination period did not come without its challenges, Kingswood has never backed down from a challenge.
We recently caught up with Mrs Carissa Wilson, our Deputy Head of the Junior School and the HOD of the Senior Primary Phase at Kingswood College. She reflected on her teaching philosophy and how the senior phase of the Junior School had tackled the online learning platform over the course of the second half of the term.
Most people don’t know, but to retain its integrity, a hockey asto needs to be resurfaced every 10 – 12 years. The City Lords Astroturf (officially opened in 2007) was already due, but Covid meant some delays to the process.
Twenty-five pupils entered the Eastern Cape SASMT (South African Society of Music Teachers) Mini Maestro Digital Music Competition this year. Congratulations to our four medal winners!
We started our Winter holiday last Friday, and what a well-deserved break this will be for our pupils and staff alike.

A number of our Junior School musicians played in the Sundowner Concert held on Thursday 3 June.

A large contingent of Kingswood players, from U11 all the way up to U19, attended the Eastern Province Squash trials which were held over three rounds.
While Makhanda may seem far from the lights of South Africa’s bigger cities, there are some rather amazing benefits from being where we are. Once again, the Eastern Cape delivered some amazing opportunities for both fun and learning for our junior pupils through their recent grade excursions.
