Participation in International Conference
One of the benefits of the twinning agreement with Cornwallis is the school's active participation in an annual international conference on student leadership. In 2007 Mrs P. Nasaree (Head of Department - Languages) participated in the conference held in Lune, Germany. With her, two learners, Raihanna Suliman and Mandisa Mlambo represented South Africa. In 2008, Mrs Nasaree together with learners Nkululeko Mzimela and Sarika Chunilal attended the conference in Leicester, England. The October 2009 conference was held in South Africa with delegates from the United Kingdom (including one Yusuf Patel who used to live in South Africa), Germany and India participating. In addition, delegates from several local schools participated. The October 2010 conference was held in Germany with delegates from the United Kingdom, Germany, India, France and Sweden participating. In addition, delegates from several local schools participated. Learners from our school who participated were Ruvarashe Ndoora, Shabana Ali, Nomathemba Madlala and Zahraa Moolla. The 2011 International Conference was hosted by Beauchamp College in the United Kingdom in Leicester, England featuring South Africa, England and Sweden. Two learners, Vaughn Naicker and Nqobile Mchunu, had attended this conference in October 2011. 2012's participants to Sweden were Alvina Rajmoney and Mvelo Zikhali. The 2009 conference was a hit both in South Africa and globally and is thought to be the most successful campaign.

Famous quotes containing the words participation in and/or conference:
“Productive collaborations between family and school, therefore, will demand that parents and teachers recognize the critical importance of each other’s participation in the life of the child. This mutuality of knowledge, understanding, and empathy comes not only with a recognition of the child as the central purpose for the collaboration but also with a recognition of the need to maintain roles and relationships with children that are comprehensive, dynamic, and differentiated.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“The peace conference must not adjourn without the establishment of some ordered system of international government, backed by power enough to give authority to its decrees. ... Unless a league something like this results at our peace conference, we shall merely drop back into armed hostility and international anarchy. The war will have been fought in vain ...”
—Virginia Crocheron Gildersleeve (1877–1965)
