The Kouga region’s thriving private school has hit the ground running with exciting changes, an action-packed calendar – and a brand new headmaster.

Enthusiastic and positive about the college’s robust future, Mr Bause implemented several positive and promising changes, including a new swimming programme at Liquid Lines in Cape St Francis with expert instructor Maria Holmes and the introduction of a Nippers Club, led by Haydn Holmes.

The term got off to a flying start with the popular Grade 7 leadership camp, a bountiful harvest in the school’s vegetable patch and the first Nippers’ meeting of the season.
