Smarter than we look...


We enjoyed a short week last week and the much-anticipated return of Matthew. We were very worried about him and prayed that he was okay. Everybody was very happy and the dorm seems fulfilled now with our great friend (No, Matthew did not bribe us to write this!). He has a much deeper voice now and is about 1 metre taller. Our dorm has excelled in school over the past 2 weeks. We enjoyed the cultural awards and academic dinner on Wednesday. Daniel and Stefan got cultural awards. Jordan was surprisingly the cleverest in the dorm and everybody was shocked that favourites Matthew and Taku lost to him. Gomes was stoked to get most improved with a 6% improvement overall and now can say he has been up to the high table. We also won the smartest dorm with a 67% aggregate and we enjoyed spending our 15 Rand Tuck Shop Voucher. But the the highest and most surprising academic achievement of all was Justin getting 74% for the maths test. He has been called the next Einstein!

Boynton's Return

Boyntons Back! After 3 weeks of extensive searching we finally found him and we are overwhelmed by his insanely deep voice (wink!). It sounds like he had a blast of a time in Sweden and the rest of Europe. Afolabi’s new name is Afogaga because of the sounds he makes. Also, he will be releasing his new hit single soon.  Besides that, it's been a fairly chilled week since it was only 3 days long. Stay tuned to hear more about Afogaga’s single, 'Embrace the Afo'.

A Very Chilled Week

The highlight of the week was Maks appearance at Pops as a backstage helper. This is because of the on-going absence of Matthew Boynton.  If he was here we would probably have had a dorm-mate with a bigger contribution with his musical prowess.
We finally have showers now because the solar geysers are now fully operational; this after weeks of having cold showers. We did get to play around with “Play dough” in Bio and make motor neurons.  Other than this it’s been quite an uneventful week.
