WHO I AM:
My name is Riyaaz Calvert and I am 13 years old.
I attend South Peninsula High School. I get a bursary from the Kay Mason Foundation, to cover my school fees. I am in grade 8 and in the last term my overall mark was 72.40%. My class teacher’s name is Mrs. A Smith.
I do find my way around the school very well and have made a lot of new friends. My favorite subject is Maths. I am going to work hard in the future.
I see myself as a Chartered Accountant in the future and I am going to work hard to try to be one. In my spare time I read “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” or watch television. Harry potter books are my favorite. My mother is going to get me Afrikaans books to read, to assist me with improving my Afrikaans.
LATEST NEWS:
Thus far, the year has been very eventful. We have had our inter-house and inter-school competitions and opening of various clubs and societies.
At the beginning of the year we had one inter-house event and I trained very hard for it, all the training I did paid off because I came first in the 500m and 1500 races and second in the 800m. Due to my success in these races, I was given automatic entry into the inter-school competitions. Unfortunately did not achieve the result I hoping to get, coming seventh in the 5000 and 1500 races respectively.
During the year, we have written a number of tests which I passed very well. In the March periodical, I achieved the top mark in my life sciences class (77%), one of the top pupils in mathematics (86%) and have had a huge improvement in English from 40% to 60%. However I am striving to obtain even better marks for next term, I also got 82% for life orientation which is also a big improvement from a mere 20%.
I have given up online chatting because I have realized that my schoolwork should take priority.
I have been involved in a number of cultural activities at school, the hiking club; I have been to the planetarium with the science club. I took part in science Olympiad, the swimming gala and the Valentine’s Day show.
I thank you again for giving me the opportunity to be part of the KMF, if it was not for you I would not be in a good school because my does not have the means.
