Hello, All

We're back from appointment with headmaster ("Rector") of the school eldest cub wants to go to next year... Now we wait... What irks me is that had he been a good rugby player, the feckers would have given him a bursary...I'll do whatever it takes

Not terribly Oney... I'm afraid he takes after me. His academics are very strong, though. But this is known as a sporting school, so they want that as well. He's been given all the "points" he can get for school marks (but 75% average already gives you that). His is in the eighties across the board, but it doesn't count extra.one2many;947986 wrote: Is he not the sporty type Tipps?
How long so you have to wait for?
We'll know within a week. His current class teacher will also make an appointment and the headmaster has given him a very good recommendation. His application was based on his involvement in the previous grade. He has done much more this year, so that'll hopefully count in his favour.
There is a good school a block from our house, so he'll go there if he doesn't get in. The one he wants to attend is on of the top three schools in South Africa, so it really is tough to get in. Kids come from all over - there are two hostels.I'll do whatever it takes

Mmmmmmm? It takes a while for the meds to start doing their thing. When last did you have a B-vit jab? Gives you a wonderful little boost.I'll do whatever it takes
