DIRECTOR’S DIRECTION The mission of a school will determine its institutional direction, but the core values of that school will shape the culture of the school community. We believe that by promoting and teaching moral courage, personal responsibility, proactive kindness, and intellectual purpose we will, within a matter of time, create a culture and climate that will to a greater degree than ever before “inspire in each student the curiosity to learn, the self-confidence to lead, and the compassion to serve.” 4

ne of the challenges facing all independent schools worldwide is that of affordability. How do we continue offering the outstanding education for which we have become renowned and keep it within the reach of boys and girls who would benefit most from such an education? We at Christian progressive college are approaching this challenge with our characteristic positive attitude combined with ingenuity and hard work. We are positive because we are convinced that deserving learners regardless of race, creed or culture, from all walks of life will continue to be part of the Christian Progressive College fabric of the future. We recognize that it is not the School’s place to shape the character of its students without the active support of parents; but their support is more likely to be forthcoming if the School delineates those “core values” that are at the heart of Christian progressive
college. We have always been a school that has “walked with kings yet kept the common touch” and we wish to remain so. The CPC top achievers bursary was established to address the task of funding various worthy projects within the school. These range from bursaries, best Christian character, scholarships for top students, many of whom are from needy families, to capital projects necessary to keep the school at the forefront of educational innovation. We have also embarked on a campaign to identify and build great sports men and women of our times under the banner of CPC Sports Academy and we’ve reaped great results already, we appeal to existing pupils, staff members, parents, as well as old boys and girls, friends of the school and corporate are invited to support This noble couse as we venture into the future.

TECHNOLOGY IT’S HERE NOW

& LEARNING
nformation Technology has the power to dramatically remake schooling, raising performance while potentially simultaneously cutting costs. The inclusion of technology in the process of learning makes learning an enjoyable activity, thus inviting greater interest from learners. As the leading school in Pretoria Central, Christian Progressive College is proud and honoured to announce an exciting and extraordinary development in access to IT for our learners. This development is in line with the Department of Basic Education’s vision 2025 mandate to integrate IT into every aspect of learning and teaching. CPC, Teljoy and Google have partnered to develop a package that will help your child access the power of tablet technology. Teljoy provide the devices on the versatile android platform, and google provides the platform from which books and other curriculum resources can be downloaded. Globally, the impact of technology in school has been thoroughly researched and documented, and South Africa, as a developing country, is also on track to plugging
into the many advances in technology available in first world countries. Recently, The city of Tshwane embarked on a trailblazing project to make Wi-Fi available to residents of the City. Making the announcement in the council chambers in Centurion on 15 August 2013, Executive Mayor Kgosientso Ramokgopa said free Wi-Fi internet connectivity would provide opportunities for people in previously disadvantaged areas to access information and research. The honourable mayor added that “We want to say to the young people that it is possible to access information and participate in the mainstream of the economy.” At CPC, we believe that if education is about knowledge and intellectual skills, then information technology lies at the heart of it all in an information economy. We have only just begun this transition, however; there is no doubt that schools will eventually look very different to what they do today. We are infinitely proud to be among some of the early adopters of tablets in the classroom in South Africa, and look forward to seeing our learners reap the full benefits of this development.

PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE WHY CHRISTIAN PROGRESSIVE COLLEGE
W
riting this item for the school magazine, I feel like a contestant in Mastermind. You see, as the principal of this college, I am expected to have all the right answers ready if any parent should ask me, and I have to address any concerns that you may have. I have to convince you that the schooling we offer is excellent and ideal for your child. I have no difficulty in doing so because I believe that at Christian progressive college we offer an education that is second to none. Our 99% Matric pass rate of last year and other examination and sport results speak for themselves. We are now in 3rd place out of 54 high schools in Tshwane West (not even counting another 100 or so primary schools which we have outdone too.) But this only tells half of the story. As parents you will want the best possible for your child in the broadest sense of the word. So as well as offering a wide range of subjects, we also have many extras to help your child to develop to his full potential. Malcolm S Forbes said “ Education’s purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one”. That is particularly true in the changing world of today. Technology is moving at a frightening speed and we have to move with it. The career choices that our children will face will be bewildering ones and so we have to ensure that they are open minded and adaptable. Now, that is not in any school book...in the curriculum. It is however something that we take very seriously here at Christian progressive college. We want to ensure that when your child is faced with various career decisions, they will be a position to move from one career to the next if necessary. To do that, they must have a broad rounded education. We pride ourselves on the standard of our teachers and our administrative staff. We also realize though, that our children educate themselves through their interaction with each other, and merely by living. They are influenced greatly by the media and. As you are all aware, that is not always for the better. We try to teach them to evaluate all information that they get, and indeed our teachers attend many courses to enable them to understand these trends. Some things however, never change. Principles and

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 ethics are among those. We try to ensure that our pupils are helped to understand the difference between going with the flow and standing up for their beliefs. We try to encourage them to have the courage of their convictions where applicable. It is also important to us to encourage them to practice their religion and live by its precepts. Above all, we like to challenge our learners to do their best academically and otherwise. We recognize however, that not all of them are going to be exceedingly academically inclined or become professors. That is not important. What is important is that their potential is realized whatever that potential might be. There is no parent who hasn’t had to ask the question why. Real education is about exactly that; ensuring that the learners keep asking questions all their lives. Put simply, our learners are as important to us as your own children are to you.

RAISE THE BAR OPPORTUNITIES ENTHUSIASM COURAGE ACCOMPLISHMENT
MS. SALLIE FRANKS
A
s I began my new assignment (‘Raise the bar’) at the beginning of August 2013, I was filled with excitement and my head was buzzing with controversial ideas. I met with the matric prefects, who were quick to let me know about the many advantageous at CPC. Apart from being taught by dedicated staff members, the pupils were grateful for being exposed to different opportunities in which to acquire knowledge, experience and skills. One pupil valued CPC as the bridge to his musical adventure in the brass band. The school motto, Success comes from God, led to many questions and thought provoking discussions. What is success? If you believe in God, does that faith guarantee your success? How does God view success? The last question proved to be the most challenging one. Looking at the Scriptures, God calls us to love everyone and to live in peace and harmony with one another. His joy is our strength and His grace and mercy is sufficient and new for us every day. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 Sir Winston Churchill has the following to say about success: “Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm” and “Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. Courage is what counts.” These words of wisdom encourage us to strive for success and excellence in our daily lives. How progressive is our school? Educators who arrange extra lessons and school work camps in order to provide the youngsters with that extra edge needed in examination conditions are rare to find. Yet, at CPC the
teachers go out of their way to facilitate the learning experience to the fullest. On the academic front the teachers were proactive in arranging extra lessons in order to maximize the educational input. 2013 was filled with many enjoyable and memorable projects and events such as educational tours, sports activities, athletics, camps, music competitions, school concerts and farewell functions. In line with our progressive forward thinking, the matrics were allowed to have their farewell function at an outside venue. What a thrilling occasion it was to see our scholars dressed to the nines and looking cool and confident in fashionable evening wear! At the annual concerts the school musicians, dancers and performers were applauded for their tiptop shows. The Go Green project initiated by one of the teachers alerted everyone to the responsibility placed upon each person to take care of Mother Earth. Maths games for the primary school involving new technology, as well as spelling and poetry festivals were all part of the year’s focus. During November a golf day was held at Swartkop Country club. Some grade ten pupils accompanied us on this outing and it proved to be great fun and of value to all concerned. The money that was raised was spent on purchasing additional teaching aids and adding pizzazz to the foundation phase classrooms. Reaching the end of another year leaves one with a feeling of accomplishment as well as excitement for the year ahead. Equipped with greater insight we look forward to approach 2014 with an even more determined approach to focus on God, who provides us with the ability and opportunities to achieve success. www.christianprogressive.school.gp.co.za

hat makes a good teacher? Like all good recipes, the ingredients for a teacher’s success in the classroom are simple, easy to follow, and allow for personal interpretation to enhance the result. A good teacher helps the
child realize his / her strengths and encourages and challenges the student to learn through those strengths.
Good teaching is an act of generosity, a craft that may grow with practice, and
is always risky business. It comes from the integrity of the teacher and from his / her relation to the subject and learners.
Congratulations Mr Makore, Mr Mofo and Mr Yenika. You have blessed our
leaners with knowledge and success. You have given them strength and confidence and made them better human beings. We consider ourselves blessed to have you as associates, colleagues and friends.

It is in your hands now.” All people’s of the world are encouraged to give at least 67 minutes of their time on that day.

T
he importance of diversity in schools is that it promotes adaptation to multi-culturalism in education which leads to a society without discrimination. Diversity eradicates superiority and prejudice tendencies from society. The young learners at CPC embraced multi-culturalism by celebrating the diverse cultures of the children of the world, with presentations on different cultural wear and culturally influenced performances. There was a lot of laughter, a lot of screaming, but more importantly, the learners left having learnt that their neighbour’s culture is just as rich and diverse and their own. Our sincere wish is that more than anything, the learners went away loving their neighbour as they do themselves. www.christianprogressive.school.gp.co.za

The more immediate benefits of participating in school sports for learners include: • Weight control • Problem-solving skills • Self-esteem • Social competence • Academic Achievement At CPC, we encourage our learners to participate in sports, respect themselves and their teams, and play to win! The sporting codes that are available include soccer, rugby, netball, track and field, swimming, chess and others. www.christianprogressive.school.gp.co.za

uccess comes from God” (Proverbs 22 vs 6) is our motto. Yes it’s true and we have experienced true success in Foundation Phase in the previous years. Our Phase has been growing from strength to strength every year. Currently our numbers have increased to two hundred and eighty learners from Grade R – 3. Meaning that the number of educators has increased as well to eight to balance the teacher pupil ratio. The manageable size of classes and the hygienic family based atmosphere are excellent for staff morale, ensuring long service and strongly committed educators. This promotes delivery of quality education in its totality to our children and this is evident in our academic achievements, educational excursions, excellent performance in sports and other curriculum activities as well as in our children’s moral behavior. We adopted child –centered
education to maximize each and every learner’s potential and we aim to produce 100% ability in speaking, reading and writing skills in all learning areas as well as in computer skills. Foundation Phase takes pride in talented children who are in the School Brass Band, (Langelihle Mahlangu and Blessing Vilakazi). We also appreciate the hard work by all our Phase Prefects under the leadership of Batjhoboke Maphosa and Kgabo Makgakga to maintain discipline and order in the phase. Last but not least I would like to congratulate all the educators for hard work and the spirit of team work: Mrs Deerling (Grade R), Mrs Mokoena (Grade 1A), Mrs Matambo (Grade 1B), Mrs Vorster (Grade 1C), Miss Matlala (Grade 2A), Mrs Mufandaidza (Grade 3A) and Miss Chiwara (Grade 3B). Thank you

013 was a hectic year, but with strong hardworking and professional educators, we managed to conquer. The grade 12 results were 99% pass rate in 2012 and 98% pass rate in 2013. The results dropped by a single percentage point, however, when comparing the two, it is clear that the quality of results was higher in 2013. The Gauteng result was a pass rate of 87%, while nationally it was 78%, meaning that CPC topped both. We have started to work even harder this year. We have a programme in place where learners will attend lessons every afternoon from 2:30 to 16:00 and there is also a programme that will see learners use their holiday time to put themselves in the best position to excel this year. During the holidays, both teachers and learners will attend educational camps organised by the school. The main purpose of this is that we need to finish the syllabus
during the June holidays, which leaves us ample time to prepare for evaluations. This was we can help reduce the amount of pressure that learners experience when preparing for exams. We would like to thank everyone who has supported us in achieving the successes that we have enjoyed thus far. We would also like to appeal for even more support in this year since we aim to achieve a pass rate of 100% as 2014 is CPC’s year. To our esteemed educators, you have set the bar high. Now the challenge is to reach and exceed the standard. We are confident that we can expect only the best from you. To the parents of our learners, we are honoured that you have entrusted us with the education of your children. Rest assured that we care about their success as much as you do. Stay blessed

IT’S NOT GOODBYE...
IT’S FAREWELL FAREWELL EVENINGS FOR GRADE 7 AND GRADE 12
T
here are several transitions in a learner’s life in school, some of high importance, and some that come and go unnoticed. None, are as exciting and pregnant with hope as the transition between primary and high school, and even more so, the end of the school career marked by the matric dance. It is in this spirit that CPC takes pride in pulling out all the stops to celebrate these important moments in our young learners’ lives. At CPC, we don’t roll out the red carpet only for the matric dance, we do the same for our Grade 7 learners going to high school. On the 30th August 2013, the Grade 7 class celebrated their farewell with much fanfare, performances and awards. The lovely Grade 6 learners, dressed in black with a touch of red, chipped in to make the occasion even more special. 24
www.christianprogressive.school.gp.co.za
The young men and women were full of excitement and some entertained their colleagues “007”style. The matric dance night is a night that all Grade 12 young ladies and gents dream about the entire year, and is usually filled with glitz and glamour. The build-up starts long before invitations are issued, with fundraising, finding a date and finally, many hours of shopping for the perfect outfit. All thanx go to the teachers who were involved in organising the evenings. Ms. Nelia van der Merwe, Ms. Felicity Ramalekana, Ms. Pulane Malatji and others; Your dedication to the all-round wellbeing of our learners does not go unnoticed. To all the learners who managed to come, you have shown yourselves to be ready for the next phase of your lives. Emrace it and go MAD. From delicious meals, to delicate desserts. From motivational speeches, to rocking it out on the dance floor. The nights were all that was expected and more…

A CUT ABOVE THE REST TOP LEARNERS IN EACH GRADE Well done to you all. Continue reaching for the stars and separating yourselves from your peers.
If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michaelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, ‘Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.”

THE TIP OF THE TOP The top learners in Grade 12 have achieved academic excellence. What this means is not that they are lucky, but rather that they have good work ethics, put in effort, ask questions, listen to the teacher and complete assignments.

CREATIVE VOICES When we choose friends, we have to choose wisely. Some might be angels in disguise, some might not be angels afterall. In this lifetime, we have to remember that not everyone will love us. Yes, they might laugh, smile and hang out with you, but do we know what is behind that smile? No we don’t. We have to know that we have 3 types of friends, I will use a tree as an example. The leaf: We all know that trees are there in summer, but in winter they fall off. This means that type of friend will be there during all the happy times, but as days get darker, they are not there. The branch: As you know, branches of a tree will always be there, but as soon as a storm comes they fall off. This simply means a friend who will always be there, but there will come a challenge that they will not be able to face with you. The roots: A tree may fall, but the roots will always remain. This means a friend who will always be there. The real question is which friend are you? The root, the branch or the leaf. There is a quote that says “Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave and impossible to forget. I hope you are one of the few that are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget.
Our featured learner in this issue is Lebohang Mlangeni in Grade 8B. Lebohang is currently top of her grade and enjoys poetry and debate.
Friendship : an essay by LEBOHANG MLANGENI
Don’t you wish you could see the galaxy? And be away from all the pain, grief and anxiety? Just to travel to space, At a very wild pace While we travel We’d see very fine gravel It would feel so right To see all the stars shinning bright We are still in the spaceship, safe and sound Although we feel it go round and round We would surely enjoy the ride Even though it would be for a short while
Just to see the galaxy’s wild side We’d see beautiful creatures That have very abnormal features We would see tiny things that look as ravishing as roses And we’d take snapshots while making weird poses While we are on the moon We would start to wonder if we will see our loved ones soon For sure we’d enjoy the ride Even if it’s for a short while For we’d be making memories of a lifetime.

GOD LOVES ME WHO? ME? YES YOU!!! HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 12:2
T
he Bible says, “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” The problem is that . . . All of us have done, said or thought things that are wrong. This is called sin, and our sins have separated us from God. The Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” God is perfect and holy, and our sins separate us from God forever. The Bible says “The wages of sin is death.” The Good news is that about 2,013 years ago, God sent His only son Jesus Christ to die for our sins. Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. “God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.” Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in Heaven with God His Father. He offers us the gift of eternal life -- of living forever with Him in heaven if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me. God reaches out in Love to you and wants you to become His child. “As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name.”You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins, and come in your life as your Lord and

If you have prayed this prayer, come let us talk more about how we can love Him back.
