Of course, quality and palatability of the food are the essentials, and in this sphere Hong Kong Charlies gains I0 out of 10. The food is traditional Chinese prepared by an Englishman who was born and bred in the hub of Chinese epicurean culture - Hong Kong. lt is almost impossible to prefer one of Charlies dishes to another, Everything was delicate, crisp and delicious. But l must confess l could spend an entire evening eating his spring rolls, ln loolcing for a fault, l could perhaps complain that l did at times feel impatient at the delay between courses.

Critical to the whole computer infra-structure is that staff members take their own classes for computer educa- tion. With this in mind, I have arranged that our staff receive basic computer instruction. By June of next year we will have the teachers and the syllabus ready for the bits and bytes. What we expect and would appreciate from you, the parents, is financial support in obtaining the computers. 8. CONCLUSION When one has achieved a high standard in one's professional for any otherj sphere, it is so easy to rest on one's laurels. The same applies to schools. However, I give you the assurance that complacency will never set in at this school - your children are too precious, their education too important if they and this country are to have a viable future. Only the best is good enough for them, but then we need your help - firstly, financially to keep the school support systems running smoothly and secondly, from the home we need your positive encouragement. With this kind of teamwork your child can only benefit. R.W. Just fPrincq9a1l HEAD BOY AND HEAD GIRL REPORT Muizenberg Junior School had a year of many activities and great progress. Red Merit and White Academic badges were awarded to deserving pupils for the first time ever during the 1988 year. The General Knowledge team consisting of Courtney Kipps, Nolan Thomas, Kristien Aird and Michelle Romaine did very well this year. We came first in the first round held at MJ S and so proceeded to the second round at Rustenberg Girls' Junior School. There we did well coming second by a narrow margin of 5 points. The False Bay Mardi Gras, a first for MJS and False Bay,was enjoyed by all but was not the smashing success it was hoped. It started with a parade from Boyes Drive to the Pavilion in which many of our pupils took part. The parade included circus animals, local scout group members and others. MJS had two stalls: a boerewors roll stand and a sweet stall. Make-a-Rand-Grow was an enormous success with almost R5 000 being collected. Most of the pupils pitch- ed in to do their bit and many participating on Monday mornings buying or selling goodies. Part of Make-a- Rand-Grow was the mini-fete held one Friday evening. This turned out to be a smashing success. Almost all pupils and their families came along to support the sup- per stall, Ghost Tunnel, Mini Golf, Bike Rides, etc. On the 15 August when the school turned 90 years old, we had our Arbor Day tree planting ceremony. Mr Wilson came to speak to us on conservation and then we had our birthday ceremony. Mr T.V. Bulpin, the renowned author and historian,came to talk to us about the history of Muizenberg. The local Minister, Rev. Gerber, came to lead the devotions. Later we had folk dancing and songs taught to us by Mr LEWIS and the teachers. After big break,we had interhouse netball matches of which Rhodes house was the victor. This year the Environment Committee was very active thanks to Mrs Otty. At the beginning of the year the Class Representatives were chosen and recently they travelled to Cape Town to participate in a street parade with a Banner Competition in Adderley Street. A couple of days later we went to the Cape Town Civic Centre for the prize giving of a competition we had entered. This began with our beach clean-up and concluded with a project on conservation by our school. We received a Merit Award. In the second term we went to Pinelands for a seminar in which the Muizenberg Junior Drama Workshop presented The Loraxl' a play about Conservation. During the fourth term four exciting soccer matches were held: Interhouse Cwon by Rhodesj, fathers versus sons, staff versus pupils C5-2 to the staffj, girls versus boys and primary versus high school Q8-l to MJ SJ. Our U13 squad made it to the Inter-school Knock Out Cup semi-finals and our U11's were almost unbeaten. Scripture Union continues to be very popular and has a large following each Friday. Exciting outings or events take place each term. All those involved with music and singing at MJ S can be proud of the many Eisteddfod achievements and awards gained and once again our Afrikaans Eisteddfod pupils achieved top honours. In the field of long distance running and walking, the Freeman twins are to be congratulated on their fine achievements. All that remains is to wish the standard fives well in their final examinations and good luck for high school and to thank all the teachers who have done so much for all of us.

'if' PTA REPORT The fundraising year of 1988 will be remembered by many as a year of disappointments and successes. Luckily the successes outweigh the disappointments and as the old sayinggoes We learn by our mistakes . The spirit and enthusiasm of the Committee was such that they refused to give up and we can look back on a suc- cessful year of fundraising even though we were not able to reach our target. Thanks to Mr Just and the staff, we started off the year on a very sound footing with the successful Edu-Past project. Our first project was the much talked about Mardi Gras in which the co-operation of the parents of MJ S was a joy to behold! Just to be part of that wonderful team spirit made the project worthwhile. Two very enthusiastic PTA ladies then introduced us to their Make-a-Rand-grow project and worked very hard at motivating us all. This turned out to be a very successful venture which culminated in the Mini-Fete in September. This was an evening that will long be remembered by all who attended. Another very successful evening was our 60's Dance and Auction Evening which was held in August. It turned out to be very enjoyable and made a handsome profit! Our Car Boot Sales also got off to a good start and were financially rewarding, but had to be curtailed due to in- clement weather and for security reasons. Hopefully they will be resumed in the future. Unfortunately, this report goes to print while our final fundraising activities are still being planned. I am sure that our Open Day at the end of October and the visit of the Cape Welsh Choir will both be highly successful events. I would like to say thank you to the MJ S staff for all their help and support, to Mrs du Preez and Mrs Hickey for all their help and to the parents who have supported us - I know'that financially this has not always been easy but without you there would not have been any successful fundraising events this year. Also a big thank you to all the hardworking MJ S pupils. Finally to the PTA Committee members, who have spent hours on the telephone, walked and driven kilometres and begged and borrowed where necessary, thank you for all the time and effort you have put into the projects you have worked on this year. It has been a privilege to work with you all. Have a lovely Christmas and New Year and a safe and restful holiday! Carol-Ann Sharpe PTA Chairlady 4 Bill'-1 . I , I A ' AMQLIIIIQXTI'-f:1 4 ' ' .
