The Inkpot
Dear Parents,
In May of 2006, four women started the school with
-enormous enthusiam,
-exciting ideas,
-stars in the eyes,
-loads of faith and
-no money in the bank.
With 3 learners and 1 teacher, and firm intentions that
nurturing, quality teaching will be the biggest aim,
Vergezicht gave its first small steps.
This month the school turned 13 years and the only
thing the four owners want to say is, “Thank you so much for
all the help the past thirteen years.The combination of
loveable children, supportive parents and dedicated staff,
ensure that we are still on the road of sound teaching so that
all our learners can reach their own potential!”
Regards,
The News team.

EASTER NEWS
A big thank you to all the
parents for the boxes and boxes
Easter Eggs donated by them!
The children decorated the eggs
beautifully and handed them
over to the Halli Trust where the
eggs were distributed amongst
children who seldom have the
luxury of something sweet.
This was an excellent
opportunity for our kids to
experience that Easter is a time
of SHARING.
The Halli Trust is a non profitable organisation that reaches out to the community of the Helderberg
area. Thanks to the big hearts of our Vergezicht parents we were able to donate 756 Easter eggs that could
be handed out to the needy. Thank you to everyone for their donations to make a success of this project!

You kept Vergezicht's name high!
Ben Truter does training
Ben Truter, a Clinical Psychologist and director
at Neurodiversity Centre, came to educate the staff
members of Vergezicht Private School on PDA, Autism,
ADHD and ADD. The staff members had a chance to
ask questions, air their opinions and got advice on
applying practical strategies on how to help and support
persons on the Autistic spectrum.
The Neurodiversity Centre provides a comprehensive
range of services to children and adults with social
communication difficulties such as conditions on the
Autism Spectrum. With over 10 years of international
experience in the field of paediatric neuro-development
and autism spectrum disorders, Ben has developed and
grown this multi-discplinary team to become a world
class centre for autism in the Western Cape.
It was a great priviledge to listen to Ben’s advice. And
what did he say about Vergezicht? “Vergezicht is a
unique school with exceptional education practices that
can compare very well with other schools abroad where
children with learning differences are taught.”
A feather in the cap for the
Vergezicht team!
Grade 7’s experiment
The Grade 7’s had to use litmus paper to test whether
substances were acids, bases or neutral substances.
LEARNER DISCUSSIONS
A big thank you to our staff who on
Saturdays (4 &11 May) discussed their
learners with the Managing Team with so
much dedication.
Every child’s obstacles and victories, as
always, received careful attention.
Learner discussions take place at least once
per term.2019 Elections
The Grade 2's had the opportunity to run
for President. Each one could choose an original
name for their party and present what they will
change for the country.
They voted democratically and Nawal
Baard was chosen as class president. She easily
sold the idea of underwater schools that you
access with a submarine.
Congratulations on your successful “Pink Party”
campaign Nawal!
