Enkosi Riverview ! That ’ s a big ‘ thank you ’ in Xhosa
A warm South African thank you to the Riverview community for donating your soccer boots . You donated over 125 pairs of boots , and with the help of Qantas , who kindly allowed us extra baggage to transport them , they arrived safely in South Africa .
On a sunny Friday afternoon at Imizamo Yethu Hout Bay Cape Town , we joined the junior squad at training to hand out the boots . The older boys were training later , but those helping had already eyed their favourites ! There was so much excitement – the smiles on their faces said it all . All boots were loved from big to small and colourful or not !
I was honoured to hand out these boots on behalf of you all , and please don ’ t
underestimate what it means to these boys ( and a few girls !). The club has been very successful in the local Cape Town competition and with a combination of skill and the right equipment , they will be unstoppable . Your boots will certainly help .
Thank you again . JAMES WHITEING ( YEAR 7 )

On Saint Ignatius ' Day we were blessed to have the opportunity to spend a day in various communities living out our House motto ; To Give is to Grow . Mentor groups visited Sir Eric Woodward and Fisher Road Schools , Inala and the House With No Steps . In doing so , we ensured we remained grounded in our actions and were always ready to put ourselves at the service of those in need . our incoming Year 7s for 2018 at their transition day . Each boy was taken in with open arms and given a taste of what it means to live as a Cheshire boy
