One has been the introduction reading among the pupils o G of the Individual Reading Programme which enables children to read, at their own level, books which are of interest to them, Another development has been the introduction of the Uninterrupted Silent Reading Scheme which involves a twenty minute period, twice a week, during which pupils may read anything of their own choices We are already seeing the benefits of these two developments in library usage and we hope habits among the pupilsu ' A g to see an even greater improvement in reading We are attempting to increase the size of our Kindergarten section.

The library is open every big break and four afternoons after school Pupils make use of the library for project work and also for leisure reading. We have regular displays of projects done by pupils in the library and also in the foyer. l should like to thank all teachers and parents who have assisted us in one way or another in the library, There is a Library Committee which helps make decisions regarding the library and also ensures its smooth running, Library Committee: Teachers 0 Mrs Walkerg Mr Justg Mrs Stonerg Mrs Simpsong Miss Poveyg Mrs McDonog Miss Rooney and Mrs Myers iMedia Centr Mothers e Mrs Klosser CSecretary7g Mrs Molteno, Mrs Logang Mrs Jones and Mrs Ricketts L WALKFR CTEACHER LIBRARIANJ This page is sponsored by the PRINGLE family 0 J T 5 ' I' A Y W , f , f W!mWHaQ?fF2Wfvf 1 gf,j1.gi,f, f'a::Q,fL ' A Q' f - , . ., 'fyi',L mfg' f , 3 i--aaf-:--e-siAf-- L--22, N.. ..,.,, - ' V j ' V '

A xOur senior team, Kwho has become known as the WAN teaml, have really proved themselves in the mini intermschool league this yeari Gary Prinsloo and Tom Hawkins have been reliable members for the past four years and their support has proved to be successfulQ' Tom has been our number one plaver for the past few years, but Gary has shown his determination and Tom has yet to beat him this year. Between them they both won their sections at the inter-school tournaments Mark Sampson, our third member, tied in his section of the tournament Dennis Carew and Donovan Byng played well and with more practice should prove difficult to beat in years to come. During the year's league matches our team played well and for the first time in years managed to win most matches. - The individual championships were held at the end of September. Again Gary and Tom were our entrants who did very welll Out of the fifty pupils, Gary finished fifth and Tom seventh. Our team will be lost without them next year M Gary has proved to be an excellent captain.
