World Bee Day   


Crawford International North Coast Grade 00 students celebrated World Bee Day recently. Students came to school dressed in black and yellow to show their support for this special occasion. Children were thrilled to learn about the importance of bees and the crucial role they play in our daily lives. Through various activities and lessons, they discovered how bees contribute to pollination and the production of honey, highlighting their essential impact on our environment and food supply. It was a fun and educational day that left the students with a deeper appreciation for these incredible insects.

Keemaya’s Golfing Success at North Coast 


Crawford International North Coast Preparatory student Keemaya Naidu started her golf journey golf through Playgolf at the school. Her passion, dedication to the sport and her talent has meant that Keemaya's golfing trajectory has seen significant growth, thanks also in part to her enrolment at McKenna Academy, where she receives personalised coaching from Ryan Schierhout.   


Keemaya made her debut in SA Kid Golf tournaments in November 2023, marking the beginning of an impressive journey. Despite being relatively new to competitive golfing, she made an immediate impact by securing second place in her inaugural game and taking third place in her subsequent two games. 


However, it is her current winning streak that is making her a player to watch on the junior golfing circuit. With an impressive four-game winning streak under her belt, she has shown a blend of skill, strategy, and determination. Keemaya currently has her sight set on the Junior Africa Championship scheduled for August at San Lameer. The South Coast event will see her competing against top talent from across the continent.

Mother's Day at North Coast


The College hosted a wonderful sip-and-paint social, the Preparatory hosted a gorgeous picnic and the Pre-Primary hosted a high tea. Each of the events gave moms a chance to relax, unwind and spend a happy morning with their children, as well as other parents and staff. The stunning campus in Westbrook, was picture-perfect for the very special day.

Blood Drive CINC  

 

Crawford International North Coast staff and students rolled up their sleeves to support a recent blood drive held at the College. Local businesses, other schools and organisations have all heeded the call from SANBS to make a difference, in saving the lives of fellow South Africans by donating blood. Less than 1% of South Africans are active blood donors and every unit of blood can save a minimum of three lives.  Pictured is Grade 10 boarding student Micaiah Chipeta, doing his bit for SANBS. SANBS aims to collect 13000 units of blood per day, to ensure a safe and sufficient blood supply in the healthcare system.

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT: DYLAN BIZJAK Crawford International Sandton From the classrooms of Crawford International Sandton to the forefront of aeronautical engineering in the Netherlands, Dylan Bizjak’s journey is one of ambition, resilience and innovation . Pursuing a Passion for Engineering After matriculating in 2019, Dylan initially pursued Aeronautical Engineering at Wits University. However, six months into his studies, a new opportunity emerged, one that would take him beyond South Africa’s borders. He secured a place at Inholland University of Applied Sciences in Delft, Netherlands, where he embraced the challenge of international study, even navigating his first year remotely due to the pandemic. Now a graduate with a BSc in Aeronautical Engineering (2024), Dylan has stepped into the professional world, joining Eve Reverse, a pioneering start-up dedicated to climate-positive innovation. What began as an internship in his final year evolved into a full-time role as a Research and Development Engineer, where he contributes to the creation of sustainable, carbon-negative materials. His proudest achievement? Playing a key role in the development of the Eve Dry Tile, an innovative flax fibre material designed to reduce emissions and waste in manufacturing. Achievements at Crawford International Sandton Gareth Beach Award (2019) – Recognised for bravery, dedication, self-development and outstanding achievement in swimming. Sportsman of the Year (2019) – Acknowledged for excellence in swimming, basketball and boxing.  Reflections on Crawford Dylan credits his time at Crawford for preparing him for both academic and personal success on the global stage. “Crawford’s approach equips you for university and beyond, whether in South Africa or internationally. It’s not just about academics but about becoming a well-rounded critical thinker and team player. Exposure to diverse cultures, teamwork, individuality and taking responsibility for my outcomes were invaluable lessons I carried with me.” Words of Wisdom To his younger self, Dylan would say: “Step out of your comfort zone sooner. Growth happens when you challenge yourself. Leaving home was tough, but the personal and professional growth was worth every stumble along the way.” Dylan’s story is a testament to courage, hard work and the power of embracing the unknown. From South Africa to the Netherlands, he is proving that the sky isn’t the limit, it is just the beginning.

A Guide To Parent Teacher Meetings The new academic term has just started a few weeks ago, and families with school-going children are settling into their routines. However, as students transition back to the classroom, another important aspect of the school calendar looms, parent teacher meetings. While these meetings are integral to nurturing strong collaboration between families and schools, they can also bring a mix of emotions, from curiosity to unease, for parents. In South Africa, where over 12 million students attend public and private schools (Department of Basic Education, 2023), the importance of such interactions cannot be overstated. These sessions offer invaluable insights into a child’s academic progress, social development, and overall well-being. What Are Parent Teacher Meetings? Parent teacher meetings are structured conversations between parents and their child’s teachers, aimed at discussing the student’s academic performance, behaviour, and overall development. These meetings create an opportunity for open communication, ensuring that both parties can collaborate effectively to support the student’s educational journey. They are not just a platform for addressing concerns but also for celebrating achievements and setting shared goals. What Do They Entail at Crawford? At Crawford International, parent teacher meetings are designed to be more than just routine check-ins. They reflect our commitment to fostering strong partnerships with families. During these sessions, parents meet with teachers to gain a holistic view of their student’s progress, not only academically but also socially and emotionally. Teachers share personalised feedback, highlight areas of growth, and discuss strategies to address challenges. These meetings are tailored to align with our ethos of developing well-rounded students, emphasising collaboration to ensure every child reaches their potential. How Often Are They? Parent teacher meetings at Crawford typically occur once per term, although additional sessions may be scheduled based on specific needs or requests. Regularity ensures that parents stay informed about their child’s journey throughout the academic year. These consistent touchpoints help to build trust and maintain a steady flow of communication between parents and teachers. How Best Should Parents Prepare for Them? Preparation is key to making the most of parent teacher meetings. Here are a few practical tips: Review Reports and Notes – before the meeting, review any recent academic reports, test results, or communication from the school. This provides a foundation for meaningful discussions. Prepare Questions – jot down specific questions or concerns you want to address. For example, ask about areas where your child excels or struggles and how you can support them at home. Engage with Your Child – have a conversation with your child about their experiences at school. Understanding their perspective can provide valuable context for the meeting. Be Open-Minded – approach the meeting with a collaborative mindset. Remember, the goal is to work together with the teachers to support your child’s growth. Take Notes – during the meeting, take notes on key points discussed, including recommendations from teachers. This ensures you can follow through on agreed actions. Parent teacher meetings are more than a requirement; they are an investment in a child’s future. By approaching these sessions with preparation and a collaborative spirit, parents can play an active role in shaping their child’s educational journey. As families across South Africa embrace this vital part of the school experience, let’s work together to make each interaction meaningful and impactful.
