Kyle Dawson

THE TREVOR WINER BURSARY

Muir College is pleased to announce the generosity of the Winer family who have set up a scholarship to assist Muirites who are strong academically but who do not have the financial means to attend a university of their choice.  Another criteria is to be able to study a university degree which may not be offered in their immediate area.

We wish Kyle Dawson all the best with his future studies and thank Mr Winer for his support and contributions.

Grade 10 Learners and Mrs Downey from the New Life Crises Pregnancy Center in Uitenhage.

The Life-Orientation grade 10 learners of Muir College recently completed a project on teenage pregnancy awareness. This project initiated by former educator Mrs. Lynette Wagenar, consisted out of theory and practical life lessons. The learners had to earn money from household duties and had to use their collection to buy baby goods, such as soap, shampoo, diapers, face cloths.... All these items were donated to the New Life Crises Pregnancy Centre in Uitenhage. On receipt, Mrs. Downey gave a short talk to the learners.
