Waterstone College embarks Marist Brothers Linmeyer on a new season delivers outstanding results
On Friday morning, 11 January, Waterstone College welcomed 145 Grade 8s in to their high school community. An induction ceremony was held in their honour where they rang the school bell and received their blazers as a symbol of joining the Waterstone family. Learners were encouraged to use
this opportunity to make their mark, participate actively, take risks and make the school proud. Earlier last week, tame TIMES had the opportunity to meet the newly appointed Head of the High School, Mrs Simone Bock who started her journey at Waterstone College on 1 January 2019. Her vision for the high school is a simple one: developing skills in learners to compete internationally. Mrs Bock joins the Waterstone family from the Department of Education and Knowledge in Dubai where she was employed as the Academic Quality Improvement Officer for the past 12 years. At the centre, she was responsible for managing, developing and implementing various projects and programmes across seven schools that formed part of an educational reform agenda. Keeping on top of the latest international education trends and developments has enabled Mrs Bock to gain an invaluable and enriched perspective of the education world. She holds Bachelor’s degrees in Sociology, Psychology and the Humanities and a Masters degree in Educational Psychology.

The South’s Celebrity Dog Passes Away
It is with great sadness that we pass on the news of the passing of Oscar, the Dulux dog. He was 9 and a half years old and had been ailing for the past year. He was imported by Sue Green from
Belgium in 2009 and started work immediately for Dulux where he was well known for his role as the ambassador for the paint brand. He starred in many TV adverts and appeared at countless store promotions throughout Gauteng, Mpumalanga and KZN. He was instrumental in the creation of JOY Dogs and along with Jazmine and Yogi started the tradition of making people happy by visiting schools and old age homes, many in the south of Johannesburg. Yogi passed away in 2016 and Yola (from Hungary) took over her role. Due to Oscar’s failing health a new dog from Russia was imported in 2018 – this is Orion and he is more than ready to take over Oscar’s role so that JOY Dogs can continue. Oscar taught Orion everything he needs to know. JOY Dogs will miss Oscar and are proud of the many lives that he touched and the people he made happy. “We wish to thank Dr Dave Erasmus from Kibler Park Vet who looked after him and helped make his last few months comfortable,” said a spokesperson for JOY Dogs.

Supra Exciting UPCOMING: Rietvlei Soccer Times School Open Day by: Shawn Brett
A legend returns and globally all petrol heads are buzzing with excitement - the Toyota Supra is back! With Toyota giving us their 5th generation offering, it will be a name on everyone’s lips for some time to come.
Rietvlei Soccer School (RSS) invites boys and girls ages 4-16 years to join the Open Day for a free Soccer lesson at Rietvlei Soccer Astro Fields on Saturday, 26 January at 08h00. RSS runs weekly soccer lessons from Monday to Friday from 3pm to 7pm and Saturday mornings at 8am to 9am. Boys and girls ages 3 to 16 are welcome to join. We aim to improve children’s soccer skills by offering uniquely designed soccer lessons that are fun and age related,
encouraging good sportsmanship and confidence. Rietvlei Soccer School also hosts holiday soccer camps, kid’s soccer parties, soccer skills clinics, soccer tournaments and youth futsal leagues. Please contact Head Coach Lyle Bennett on 061 486 2299 for more information. Directions/enquiries: www.rietvleifarm. co.za.
Beneath the bonnet there is a straight six, 3.0 litre turbo charged powertrain producing 250kws and 500Nm of torque. Although a lot smaller than the 4th generation Supra, this pocket rocket sports car will propel you from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds. Set about to challenge the very popular BMW M2 and Porsche Cayman GT4, I think this will be fair competition with prices estimated to be less than R1mil. With handling said to be agile and rewarding, you will experience a cheek numbing grin when you thrash it about through tight bends and sweeping corners (this will come in handy when dodging South African Pot holes and uncoordinated taxi drivers). Toyota displays the classic
set up of a front mounted engine and rear wheel drive, so you can still try live out your fast & the furious boy hood dream with the Supra name badge behind your buck. From a performance perspective, Toyota has achieved their goal of bringing the Supra back beautifully as it competes with the best in the business. But from a petrol head purist’s perspective, is it what we expected when comparing it to the reputation and status of the previous generation? Or were we hoping for more of a Nissan GTR eater rather than a pretty racer boy Lexus. Visually it should have been bigger, scarier and more masculine to win me over. However, this vehicle definitely has a solid place in the market and it is going to be a great conversation starter around your family braai, with your work colleagues… or even at your hair dresser in Sandton City, doll.
