The AMPS U10 rugby team had an outstanding season and showed tremendous determination throughout the year. They fought bravely in the Ekurhuleni Valke A1 League Final but were narrowly defeated 14–12 by L/S Selection Park in a closely contested match.

Finishing the season as runners-up and securing 2nd place overall is a remarkable achievement. Congratulations to all the players and coaches on a fantastic season and for representing the school with pride.

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!

Saving the Rhino project

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.
