A Greenwood Day

Thursday, February 17, 2011

It was a lovely misty cool morning when we arrived at Plettenberg Bay primary for the regional athletics (Plettenberg Bay, Knysna, and Sedgefield). Ben, Challenge, Papi and Rowan were cheerful and excited to be representing Greenwood. Wesley the new sports coach was encouraging and great at keeping the four focused when it was time.

Mrs. Solomon stopped by to give good wishes to everyone. It was a bit of a wait as the longer races were first. Then it was the Greenwood children’s turn. They managed to place in 4 out of the 5 races! It was amazing to see our children from Greenwood participating and doing so well and how much they encouraged each other.

Greenwood Independent School

Greenwood is a privately owned independent primary school situated 2km from the centre of Plettenberg Bay, in the Western Cape's beautiful Garden Route. It provides co-educational facilities for 130 children.

Greenwood's primary objective which is to help each child reach their full potential in all areas of life. Activities include the promotion of social skills, emotional and spiritual growth, physical coordination, and cognitive preparation. This holistic curriculum, under the direction of teachers trained both in the National Curriculum and Montessori principles, allows children to experience the joy of learning - something which is so often absent in schooling today.

Greenwood's approach to teaching is designed to develop self-esteem and provide the children with confidence in their knowledge and strength to prepare them for the future.
