CELEBRATING
#HERZLIASO EIGHTY
OG>O YEARS OF
EXCELLENCE
Shan ah Tova from
the Herzlia Family
On e of the excitin g aspects of the challenges
presen ted by the COVI D-1 9 crisis is the fact
that Herzlia has continued to function. Despite
the lockdown, despite platooning grades, despite
a few scares here an d there, our pupils have
man aged to participate in so man y events,
programmes an d activities but in a different
way. As you read through the Highlights you
will get a sense that education has been turned
on its head and, yes we have had to do that, in
order to deliver.
Yes, we had to cancel so many milestone moments for our pupils.
Our hearts go out to the Matrics who were unable to enjoy those
seminal moments - their last Pesach Seder, the Matric Dance, the
Chai to Chai Programme, the Farewell Breakfast. All our
#HERZLIA80 celebrations had to be cancelled and rearranged in
an appropriate and compliant manner. At Herzlia, when faced
with adversity and challenges, we don't curl into a little ball and
hope it will go away. In fact, our success comes from the fact that
we embraced these challenges and found ways to combat them
through the learning of new skills that we will most definitely
continue to use even when we return to 'normal'.
When I look at the incredible amount of work that was produced
by our teachers and pupils I can only feel an immense sense of
pride. Our Jewish Life and Learning Department have been
particularly active with the lead up to Rosh Hashanah, promoting
the 40 Days. One Deed. Every Day campaign (Click here). It was
such fun watching all the Constantia pupils and staff assemble on
the field for their version of Jerusalema (Click here) followed
very quickly by the Gan Aviv staff (Click here). Our Grade 9
Student Council produced an amazing orientation video for the
new Grade 6s (Click here).
It has been a revelation to watch our school community adapt to
a new way of life. I am so aware of the difficulties you have faced
as parents because so many lines have been blurred - you have
had to balance being a teacher and a parent in your home
environment. For this we thank you. To our amazing staff, we
thank the many of you who went above and beyond the call of
duty to ensure that we maintained our academic excellence as
well as balancing the emotional and social needs of our pupils.
I wish you all Shanah Tov a U'Metukah, may you have
a Good and Sweet NewYear.

A Busy and Interactive Term
at Herzlia Constantia
By Jos Horwitz
Principal Herzlia Constantia
Herzlia Constantia has had a very busy and
interactive Term 3. We are so proud of how
resilient our children are. We have very good
protocols in place and the children have adapted
very well to social distancing, wearing their
masks and sanitizing their hands.
We held a class competition for children to dress up to a
theme of their choice. Grade 2A decided that their theme
would be Doctors and Nurses vs Corona Virus.
Soon after Term 3 began, we started collecting teddy bears
and soft toys for SA Harvest in honour of Mandela Day on
18 July. The two bins provided were not enough as the toys
kept coming and overflowed in the reception room. We are
always so proud of how generous our families are and this
time was no different.
We have been practicing hard with Steph to participate in
the Jerusalema Challenge {Click here) to watch the
video. This was another fun activity we could engage
in while adhering to social distancing regulations. We
have some excellent dancers and when the music started,
they got into position and showed us how it is done.
We held a class competition for children to dress up to a
theme of their choice. Grade 2A decided that their theme
would be Doctors and Nurses vs Corona Virus.They won
because not only were their costumes very convincing but
the proud way in which they explained their theme was the
real clincher.
The children have worked hard and adapted well with online
and class learning. W e all look forward to our last
term together next term and hopefully one where we
can do more sport and other fun activities.

24Back to School -
We're Together Again!
By Anton Krupenia
Principal Herzlia Constantia
Normally when one reflects on a term, one can
look back on a variety of events celebrated
together as a school community. This term has
certainly been very different with many events
not being allowed to take place due to the strict
COVI D-19 protocols. But we have learned
together, davened together, laughed together
and managed to share a common experience;
both face-to-face at school and via Zoom.
And that has been the essence of this term's highlights;
being back at school together! The start of Term 3 seems
a ver y long time ago as we dealt with the many concerns
and procedures in implementing the COVID-19 protocols.
We slowly increased and arranged ways to add to our daily
attendance numbers, getting to the point we are now, where
"For me, my morning and afternoon

seen children's projects and been able to have fun with
the children.
Watching the manner in which the children have adapted
to the new routines, how comfortable they are entering the
school and walking down to the hall has been a source of
pride. It really takes not having something to realise what
one misses. I missed school during lockdown; the laughter
and the energy of the children, the passion and enthusiasm
of the teachers and the support and interactions with parents.
Having everyone back has been the highlight!

36Five Years of Mountain Biking
at Herzlia
By Katja Steenkamp
I still remember those first outrides to the Blockhouse,
with a handful of High School pupils. This was about five
years ago. Sometimes only one rider joinined us, sometimes
none. We quickly realised that riding jeep track every
week is not going to cut it for pupils. There needed to be
something different to grow the sport, intrigue pupils and
maintain their interest. I was due to speak at one of the
Friday assemblies to promote our MTB Programme. A
day before, Marc Falconer sent me a YouTube clip of a
free rider somewhere in the US, ripping trails, flying over
massive rock faces and enjoying the stoke of mountain
biking.The clip captured so perfectly what we wanted to
create at Herzlia - a sport where pupils can fly free,
connect with nature and have this shared experience with
their fellow pupils.
The assembly presentation was a great success. We saw increasingly
'•
more kids rock up with their bikes, and were faced with a new
challenge - creating a programme that accommodated the wide
spectrum of fitness and skills levels between Middle and High
School pupils. As a result we introduced two riding groups, one
for novice riders and one for more experienced riders. The focus
in each group was different. Those new to the sport needed to
learn how to move over a bike and build bike handling ability,
to allow for a safe and fun experience. Which means the focus
in this group was more on skills drills and technical training.
In comparison, we took our more experienced riders for longer
rides, where the focus was on flow, application and exposure to
the various trails on Table Mountain and Signal Hill.
Mountain biking has grown into a very popular sport at Herzlia.
It is incredible to witness the joy and excitement the children
bring to the sport. It's not just another afterschool activity but a
lifestyle choice and a sport for everyone. It's the most inclusive
sport, and brings smiles to everyone's face. It's a sport where
everyone can express themselves any way they like. Some learn
faster. Some a bit slower. But at the end, every pupil will experience
the amazing feeling of surfing trails in their own style.
It's incredible to see how pupils improve with every single ride.
Some of the pupils have been with us for over four years and
started out as wobbly newbies, barely able to navigate gravel
roads and now fly down trails that most adults don't dare to look
at, let alone ride. We are excited for the trails ahead, and
can't wait to share more mountain stories with you.
