Dear friends,

 

It’s not often that as leaders, managers, mentors, entrepreneurs or  business owners that we get an opportunity to receive input back into our own lives.

 

So, here is a great opportunity to hear from a speaker line-up that includes executives, start-up gurus and economists—from both America and South Africa. Their combined experience is vast, having led and/or worked with global companies such as Pixar, Warner Bros, Procter & Gamble, Harvard Business, Adidas, Pepsico and Groupon.

 

You are invited.  This Saturday night. See details below.

 

To make travel easier we are going to meet at Northfield at 6pm on Saturday and then jump into a few cars and go as a group. Let me know if you would like to join us. You do need to book online – use the link below.

 

Thank you all for your support, commitment and hard work to make a difference in the lives of others!

 

Best regards,

Allan

JWCC MARIMBA BAND TOURS UK The John Wesley Marimba Band, a group of 10 children (between ages 10 & 12) and their teacher were selected as the band to tour to the United Kingdom in October this year. The group left Johannesburg International on the 10th October and returned safely to us on the 18th October exhausted but thrilled with the tales of their adventures. Feedback has been amazing and we are so proud of the growth we have witnessed in these young people. CONGRATULATIONS! Our thanks to Joan Lithgrow and Education Africa for all their time, energy, mentorship and dedication in helping make a difference in the lives of the children in Etwatwa. SOWETO MARIMBA COMPETITION The Soweto National Marimba Festival was held at Morris Isaacson High School on 7th of September 2013.   We had two groups that performed : * Primary School Small Ensemble- 10 children, They performed the click song. * High School Large Ensemble- A group of 18 children performed the House Mix song Both groups performed well demonstrating, their improved playing method as well as their higher levels of confidence. Such events are always a wonderful opportunity for the children to learn from different groups that performed.   Our small group ensemble has been selected to play various corporate and social events. We are very pleased to have these opportunities to perform publically and welcome any other opportunities that come our way.

To date this year the trampoline team has brought home a total of 32 gold, 24 silver and 17 bronze medals. The Acro Gymnastics team has collected 71 gold, 8 silver and 3 bronze medals. Several of the gymnasts received their provincial colours and there is a group who will at the competition trying out for positions to compete in the World Championships overseas. Gymnastics is a sport that is exacting and demands strength, flexibility, determination, control and extraordinary body control. Trevor Lubisi the head coach of the JWCC gymnastics team has taken the group and over the years developed them into an amazing set of youngsters who still continue to amaze and delight us with their fire, spirit, determination and success. CONGRATULATIONS on your achievements so far! BEE NEW CODES OF GOOD PRACTICE See the next JWCC newsletter for the updated codes and how we can help you gain points in the new system. MENTORS@SCHOOL The mentors at school programme was initiated this year in partnership with Themba Thandeka. Mentors@School is a programme developed to improve maths and English literacy in students on the course over a school year. All students and parents involved were asked to sign commitment forms and set out to improve their school marks over the year. Our 2 dedicated tutors and their Grade 8 students willingly gave their Saturday mornings twice a month to go through the school work, course work, homework and tests. Every term the students brought their report cards to the tutors who monitored progress. We are very pleased to announce that our graduation for the Grade 8 class took place on Saturday 19 October at the John Wesley Community Centre in Etwatwa with our programme sponsors Karl and Laree Landman, the parents and community members, students, tutors and staff present.    follow on Twitter | friend on Facebook | forward to a friend  Copyright © 2013 John Wesley Community Centre, All rights reserved.
