In 1848 Jonas Bergtheil chartered a ship and brought out a group of German farmers and their families who settled approximately 12km inland from Durban. The area was named Westville in honour of Martin West, the first Lieutenant Governor of Natal.

FRONT COVER PHOTOGRAPHS: Thekwini Toyota (GaryJPhotography), Cygnet School, Floral Gems & Vanilla Spice.

The first schools and stores were established in 1877 and were situated near the intersection of Jan Hofmeyr and New Germany Roads. Westville was a farming area up until the early 1920’s and the charm and natural beauty of this rural area remains to this day. The lush, leafy suburbs of modern day Westville with it’s elegant homes set in picturesque gardens, combined with an ideal climate, makes it a much sought after residential area. Its proximity to Durban and Pinetown as well as excellent schools, business and shopping complexes and sports facilities, make Westville an ideal place to live.

WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE? Acupuncture is a holistic approach to health based on the concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which involves the insertion of very fine needles at specific points on the body. This stimulates the body’s natural healing processes to work optimally. Acupuncture can be used in the treatment of acute or chronic conditions and can also be used as a preventative measure by improving the overall functioning of the body’s immune and organ systems. Please contact Dr Chen’s Acupuncture Clinic for more information on 031-262 3143 / 082-720 7445 or visit www.drchen.co.za.

WESTVILLE OPTOMETRIST Personal attention (hourly appointments) and customised eyewear to suit your needs and your budget. Regular eye examinations are important because your eyes don’t usually hurt when something is wrong. It is advised that you have a comprehensive eye examination every two years. During the examinations early signs of eye conditions can be picked up before you are aware of any symptoms, many of which can be treated if diagnosed early enough.

This established landmark was beautifully revamped in 2013 which breathed new life into the building. At the heart of the centre is a light filled, air conditioned atrium where you can enjoy a cup of coffee or leisurely lunch before strolling through the elegantly finished mall. Expansive glass shop fronts allow plenty of natural light into the building whilst deep timber pergolas shade the centre for a comfortable shopping experience. Vehicular and pedestrian access have been designed for convenience, by allowing ample parking bays (both covered and open air) around the three entrances to the mall.

PALMIET NATURE RESERVE THE PALMIET NATURE RESERVE was opened to the public in September 1972. The reserve is managed by eThekwini Municipalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Natural Resources Division. In 2006 it was proclaimed as a protected area under the KZN Nature Conservation Management Act. The reserve covers an area of 80 hectares in the Palmiet River valley. Open to the public 7 days a week there are numerous trails for visitors to enjoy. Entrance is free and visitors can access the reserve from either Old New Germany Road or David McLean Drive. There is a wheelchair trail, built by the Lions Club, that leads to the edge of the river and a shaded area. The reserve caters for people who enjoy bird watching, walking or indigenous flora in a safe and secure environment. Field Rangers are on duty 7 days a week and arrangements can be made for a Field Ranger to accompany visitors. Due to regular flooding there are no bridges across the Palmiet River and visitors must exercise caution when crossing. Trails can be walked in 30 minutes to 3 hours. There is a braai site available but it must be booked in advance. Visitors are welcome to take along a picnic and enjoy a break at the cascades in the heart of the reserve. Maps of the trails are available. 24 Westville at a Glance

THE KLOOF & HIGHWAY SPCA The demand for animal welfare services is growing year on year and the KLOOF AND HIGHWAY SPCA is no exception. With vast rural areas surrounding the Highway area our Society has a tremendous task to reach out to thousands of animals who have no access to veterinary services. The growing animal population and current economic crisis, places a huge amount of pressure on many animal owners, impacting on the welfare of animals within our communities. The Kloof & Highway SPCA, treats and cares for thousands of animals each year, investigates animal cruelty and neglect; promotes responsible pet ownership through its’ adoption process; holds regular sterilisation clinics in poverty stricken and rural areas and conducts education on the humane treatment of animals to promote compassion and respect for all living creatures. We do this for those animals who are most vulnerable in our society and for those who

have no voice to speak for themselves. The staff and volunteers of the Kloof and Highway SPCA would not be able to continue with this work without continued support from the community, local businesses and schools. We rely on your donations, support and generosity to provide basic animal health care which is so desperately needed by thousands of animals each year. Please show your support and make a commitment by making regular donations. We extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to every person who has contributed in any way….no matter how small….it makes a difference.

WHAT IS KUMON? The Kumon Method of learning was developed over 50 years ago in Japan by Toru Kumon, a high school Maths teacher whose son was struggling with Grade 2 Maths. Mr Kumon was convinced that he could help his son improve his Maths by introducing him to the skills one step at a time. With that in mind, Toru Kumon created a series of worksheets for his son to do after school and by Grade 6 his son was able to solve integral and differential calculus problems. He achieved this by spending only 30 minutes a day completing his father’s worksheets. Kumon is not designed to improve Maths and English skills as an end in itself; it is an educational method which uses Maths and English skills to develop the potential of each child.The aim of Kumon is to unleash each child’s potential to love learning, by improving confidence and self-esteem, and encouraging self-discipline and a good daily study habit. There is no failing in Kumon, because each child works at his or her own carefully monitored level. Toru Kumon: “Every Child An Achiever” • Confidence & Self-Esteem • Concentration • Self-Study Skills In the Kumon Programme, each worksheet is slightly more difficult than the one before it. This format encourages students to solve problems for themselves. Independence and self-discipline are encouraged by the instructors. THOMAS MORE COLLEGE is an independent, Christian based, co-educational day school with dedicated and professional staff running classes from Grade 000-12. Focus is given to developing the whole child and equipping him or her with relevant life skills. Thomas More College is the best choice you can make to prepare your child for the future. Our strong Christian beliefs and morals gives the children an unwavering compass to help them make the right moral choices as they grow up. We believe that co-educational schooling gives the edge to our children. They learn to get along with a wide range of personalities and are

This eventually leads to a love of learning and encourages independent learning. Kumon’s Mission: By discovering the potential of each individual and developing his/her ability to the maximum, we aim to foster sound, capable people and thereby contribute to the global community.

The Kumon Programme allows each child to practice to become competent in the fundamental areas of Maths and English. It also instills other important qualities and long-term skills in children including: • Mental agility • Good study habits • Confidence • Commitment and self discipline • Reduction in anxiety • Practice

Professor Alan Smithers of the University of Buckingham says that ‘There is simply no overwhelming evidence that single-sex education is better academically for young people.
