Clever pupils and teaches. PV grown so much and pupils look so smart and proud. Do not see many kids where there uniform so proudly and smartly but that true of most SA school kids. Would love to go and have a look at the school as it changed so much in the last 20 years! I love your blog so I going to subscribe. I was one of the 'worms' (std 6) when you were in matric, same year as your brother.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098604292442392707.post-67511445789885874882013-06-07T14:21:59.133+02:002013-06-07T14:21:59.133+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098604292442392707.post-45746339766240320612013-06-07T05:54:17.976+02:002013-06-07T05:54:17.976+02:00And they have beautiful fields thanx to us clearin...And they have beautiful fields thanx to us clearing all the rocks.away....marykenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098604292442392707.post-10235295455517459182013-06-06T14:24:45.882+02:002013-06-06T14:24:45.882+02:00This post made me incredibly nostalgic about my da...This post made me incredibly nostalgic about my days in PV.

I am lost and keep questioning Daniel, "Are you sure, did they really say that, are you sure you heard right, can't we ask someone just to be sure?" And he keeps say, "Yes mom, why don't you trust me?" I was at the PV open day this year and Mr Gouws gave the same speach, so it was quite nice to get the heads up. Now I know what's coming, kind of glad we are getting some practices now. I just hope we get in, because now you have to go through a whole interview process and there is a points system. Going to the school the other day and walking around the classrooms bought back so much, I kept expecting to run into some of our old teachers, but non of them where there. It felt good to know that we where part of the history.Brenda Jansenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098604292442392707.post-38795897138080029282013-06-05T18:59:28.587+02:002013-06-05T18:59:28.587+02:00This is a wonderful blog post, and one the school ...This is a wonderful blog post, and one the school should cherish! <br />Wow, what a school! Demonstrating again the power of the principal who sets the tone for the entire school. <br />How privileged to have Luke there. <br />Even in your day, it attracted attention as a young school. <br />You neglected to say that it was designed by highly respected architect Gawie Fagan, you know.....and that he took immense much trouble to blend in with the surroundings so that it seems to be much older and more grounded and more established than it really is. <br />All subtle things to enrich the school and the expectation around it.<br />Maggie Nagelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126830014831714428noreply@blogger.com
