Teubes Treats

 

We are so fortunate to be apart of the legacy of Tubby Teubes. His association with the St Joseph's Marist College Special Needs spans 26 years (and counting). His son Paul, our favourite uncle ;), continues to carry the torch of his parents history of community developement and upliftment. 

We love you Paul and not only because you treat us to a special outing every term.

We had a wondeful lunch hanging with  Paul at Spur and made some great memories.

Thank you again Paul and the Teubes Family.

MARKET DAY 😎

 The learners from the Unit enjoyed a shopping day at the Grade 7 Market Day. 

We enjoyed all that was on offer. Please follow the link to see more pictures.

All these bokkies wish the Bokke all the best for their match!

New glasses, who this?

All the good kind of blues! 

Do you like blue too?

 

Bake me scone, Mr Bakerman.

 Another tasty session,  strengthening our Independent Living Skills. 

Mighty Walkers Assemble!

 

The big walk finally arrived and thank goodness for the nice weather that wasn't too hot nor too cold which made up for all the miserable weather of previous years. It was so fun seeing how excited the kids were when they saw us marshalling with our bibs and flags. It was especially fun when we ended up blocking a whole corner of the common to grab that special pic (photo to come). It was a great event with soccer, basketball, netball, concerts and performances and of course hearing that one of our learners won our Mystery Box!  

We won Champagnat!

 

The first of our Champagnat Award winners for the term have finally rolled out! These awards are earned for working hard, being helpful and being kind to those around us... Well done to these learners who exhibited many of these wonderful traits throughout the week. Keep it up!

Pajama Day an SMJC outreach initiative

Our wonderful school had an outreach initiative today. Every learner contributed a small fee and wore their PJs which went towards a large collection for the towards the Leave Your Print Campaign - which is to raise money to upgrade poor toilet facilities and water access in under-resourced schools across South Africa.

A big thanks to all who contributed, you have made a difference and looked cute to boot!

Rehearsals Underway 💃💃

The Tallest Lego Tower in Junior Class History!

 Stacked with problem-solving skills and sky-high confidence, we’re proving that hands-on learning leads to towering achievements!

Little "Messis" in training...

 

Training Day saw our learners having fun with 'the beautiful game' and practising some drills... Messi, you better watch out... The SNU are coming for the title!

Quiz Night Cameos...

 




                                       

It was lovely to see so many of our families attend the SJMC quiz night on Friday and there were even a few lucky winners and a helper or two... It was a fun event indeed!

And Wave Your Flag...

 

We started our "Delicious Eats Around the World" Day with a fun song and a wave of our flags, getting everyone excited about the Soccer World Cup and the many countries taking part! We all know what our learners are really looking forward to today though...

Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika...

 

Just like before every soccer game, we kicked off our day yesterday before our soccer drills with learning and singing our National Anthem. We were very impressed with how much the learners already knew!

Champagnat lives in us....

 

In the words of our school song, Marcellin Champagnat truly was a gift to the world and certainly to us as we try to follow his way and our Marist Values. The learners enjoyed their Champagnat day treats and the fun and games that came with it... Happy Champagnat Day!

"Let them eat 'cup' Cake...."

 

From Marie Antoinette's lips to our ears... The Junior Class got a rare treat in art yesterday. They got to decorate their own cupcakes and who said we can't have our cake and eat it too? 

P.S. It was so good one of our learners just had to phone a friend to tell them :)

🎵 Cause We Never Go Out of Style...🎵

 

Welcome to The SNU Hair Salon - we are now taking bookings for break times; with our senior stylist. Call 0800 SNU RAINY DAYS to complete your booking. 😃.. Anyone else love that feeling of your hair being played with? As you can see, one of our learners was almost asleep while his hair was being combed. So fascinating all the creative ideas our learners come up with to keep themselves busy when the weather keeps us inside.

Food skills are skilling....

 

Something smells good.. Take a look at us cooking over the past few weeks of food skills.

Through the Eye of the Beholder

 

Photography is not just a skill... it's a passion too and we love to see the enthusiasm and joy that taking a simple photo brings to our learners so we set a few of them a task: find something spectacular around our beautiful school grounds… and boy did they deliver. National Geographic couldn't have done it better as far as we're concerned. Such incredible talent!
