Caring School
I am the parent of a child who attends Linpark High School. On May 7 she was absent from school.
I am very impressed by the school’s care for our children and would like to convey my sincere thanks. Within two hours of school starting I received a notification via my cell phone that my daughter had not arrived.
They go beyond their duty of teaching to take full care of our children, remembering the high rate of crime and that sometimes children are dishonest, pretending to be going to school while going their own way.
The following day I sent my child with a letter confirming that she was with me and apologising for her absence from school. Thank you Linpark High for your loving care. I wish other schools would follow suit.

Blood Bank Visit School on 4th May
Ten young scholars have written their way to boosting their future education, effectively demonstrating the requirements for future women leaders in South Africa, and the elements essential to developing and acquiring that goal.
The winning essays emerged from the Businesswomen’s Association (BWA) annual “Winning
in the Workplace” workshop hosted last month. Scholars had to write an essay ahead
of a full-day workshop, which was then independently adjudicated and prizes awarded
for the top 10 pieces.
The top 3 places were scooped up by Nondumiso Zondi from Linpark High School in Pietermaritzburg, Sphesihle Zondi from Zamazulu Secondary School in Imbali and Tané Theunissen from Werda High School in Hillary. Both Nondumiso and Sphesihle plan to study law next year, while Tané has her eye set on a career in the pharmaceuticals industry. In a tribute to their education coming from the Pietermaritzburg School, Linpark High School had three scholars among the top 10. Their winners are proud to represent Linpark High School and were sincerely congratulated by their Principal, Mr Nello Schreuder, who met with them in his office. Mr Schreuder is in turn enormously proud of his scholars, as well as his dedicated and experienced teachers, who provide the optimum level of education and commitment at Linpark High School.
The Winning in the Workplace project this year focused on building future women leaders. Project Chair and “Women of Africa Fuels” and Oils CEO, Pria Hassan, said the initiative specifically provided the next generation of businesswomen with the motivation, knowledge and the skills required to succeed when they enter the business environment. Now in its 14th year, the event hosted 302 Grade 12 scholars and 55 teachers from 150 disadvantaged schools in rural locations across Kwazulu-Natal.

NEW DEPUTY HEAD
VALENTINE’S DAY
Last week Friday I was in Pick ‘n Pay and saw a whole bunch of your Linpark boys. I would just like to share with you that they were so nicely behaved. They were courteous and got out of the way of other adults and just generally looked good and neat and wore their uniform with pride. I am a teacher at Carter and did my teaching prac. at Linpark when I was at university. I was just so proud and happy and wanted to share the good news.
Have a fabulous day
Regards

THE first day of the Nashua Maritzburg United Midlands Schools Soccer
Challenge got under way at Harry Gwala stadium yesterday, with
our schools kicking off the eight-team knockout tournament.
The tournament sees four
quarter-finals take place over two legs each, 30 minutes per half, where the away
goals rule will be applied, although all the matches take place at Harry Gwala.
Ixopo were much better in the second half, and were able to manufacture a few chances
of their own, but they had the wind knocked out of their sails in the 42nd minute
when Sithole bagged his second of the afternoon after turning in a driven ball from
the right flank.
Ixopo now have it all to do in the return leg on April 18, where
they must overturn a two goal deficit should they wish to advance to the semi-finals.
Action
resumes this afternoon with the other two quarter-finals. In the 2.30 pm kickoff.
Alexandra High host Sobantu Secondary while the pick of the quarter-finals and the
4.15 pm kickoff sees Carter High host Maritzburg College, where United’s very own
Bandile Shandu appears set to play some part in the fixture for College.

Wow! That does look great!
In yesterday’s first clash, a highly entertaining and evenly matched game saw Haythorne
Secondary and Linpark High share the spoils in a 1-1 draw, though Linpark will be
the happier of the sides as they have an away goal in the pocket.
The first half belonged
to Haythorne, and they took the lead in the 10th minute when Malibongwe Ngwane blasted
home a shot from just inside the area that thundered in off the underside of the
crossbar.
But to Linpark’s credit, they responded well to the goal and began to string a few passes together on the lush Harry Gwala surface.
With the second half just as frantic as the first, Linpark were rewarded for their
perseverance in the 48th minute when Andiswa Ndawonde sidefooted the ball home with
finesse after being put in one-on-one with the goalkeeper.
The second match on the
day saw Ixopo High, who were “hosting” Mehlokazulu High, going down 2-0. While not
as physical as the first match, the boys from Imbali showed plenty of skill on the
ball and found the Ixopo defence wanting in the early stages.
It took 16 minutes for
striker Mpumelelo Sithole to break the deadlock while Ixopo were down to 10 men with
a man off injured. But, in truth, Mehlokazulu should have already been two or three
up by that stage as they were wasteful with their chances in front of goal.
The two schools that reach the final will meet in the curtain raiser to Maritzburg United’s last home game of the PSL season against Ajax Cape Town on May 11.
