AMPS Mini-Netball proudly participated in the Laerskool Kruinsig Netball Festival this past weekend. The players had plenty of fun, gained valuable experience, and learned important lessons both on and off the court. We are excited to watch their skills, confidence, and love for the game continue to grow throughout the season.
Another exciting afternoon of rugby for AMPS as our teams continued to compete at a high level in the A1 League against strong opposition. On Wednesday, 06 May, Laerskool Dalview hosted AMPS for the third league fixture of the season.
Despite the freezing conditions, our boys displayed incredible determination, resilience, and sportsmanship throughout the day. Every team gave their all and represented the school with pride against tough competition.

Our prefects surprised Mr Botha with a special birthday gift to show their appreciation for all he does for our school.
A small gesture for a leader who makes a big difference every day.

Tessellation in Action: Grade 6
Learners Transform Patterns into Art
This term, the Trade 6 learners explored the fascinating world of tessellation—the art of covering a surface with repeated shapes without any gaps or overlaps. Using the knowledge they gained about transformations—including translations, rotations, reflections, and enlargements—they created vibrant and visually striking patterns.
From simple geometric designs to more complex, interlocking shapes, the learners showed creativity and mathematical thinking in equal measure. Their understanding of how shapes can move and fit together beautifully came to life through their artworks, which now brighten up our classroom walls.
It was inspiring to see how mathematics can go beyond numbers to become a form of creative expression. Well done, Grade 6s!

The school has been working hard in-between all the renovations and school work and are currently busy redoing the Pre-School Bathrooms. Have a look at some of the incredible new artwork 😉
We have also worked hard to give the learners brand new Jungle Jims and nice soft grass to play on!!
Rhinos are killed in South Africa at an alarming rate and the Aston Manor community is encouraged to make a difference. Learners can enter a competition where they draw a picture of a rhino or write a short story about a rhino. Attached to the art work or story the learners have to place an envelope with R30-00 as an entry fee. Learners are reminded to write their name, surname and grade on the artwork / story and envelope and post their entry in the post box that is situated in the front office of the school.
The competition end date is 19 July 2018. Winners will be announced on 22 July 2018.
Monies raised will be donated to the Pilanesberg Wildlife Trust and used to combat the poaching of rhinos.
