The Second Round of the 2010 National Harmony Gold Mathematics Olympiad was written on 18 May. This is a very different difficulty level to Round One and only the very best (top 100 nationally) go through to the Third Round. Lauren Denny (Grade 9) is to be congratulated on reaching the Third Round in the Junior section (to be written on 8 September) once again.

On Saturday 31 July 2010, five Rustenburg girls were invited to attend a cartooning workshop at the National Galleries Annex. This incredible day was run by Jonathan Shapiro (Zapiro) as well as Frances Hugh Dugmore & Rico (of Madam and Eve fame).
The two Choral Celebration 2010 concerts on 4 and 5 August in the City Hall were a great success. The choirs of RGHS, RBHS and SACS were very well prepared by their schools before they joined in the combined rehearsals.
This year’s team (left to right): Samantha Filby, Shaakirah Jardine, Amy-Leigh Muir and Maya Lemaitre, placed 16th out of 43 schools in this year’s Caltex/ SAIIA Quiz, which was held on 12 May 2010.
RGHS had the honour of having both our Senior and Junior teams qualify for the Western Province Debating Championships that was held at BISHOPS from 07 to 09 August 2010.
What the five house play directors were able to achieve this year was quite outstanding, even though the time for working on the house plays was very limited because of the adjustments made to the school year to accommodate the World Cup.
The Rustenburg English and Afrikaans departments have achieved recent success.
Congratulations to the RGHS team: Cara Mazetti-Claassen, Ameerah Allie, Jennifer Hughes, Angeliki Carvounes, Noxolo Mafu and Imbileni Shatiwa who won last night’s competition for their well-structured discussion of the topic: “The internet is the gateway to human liberation”.
